When are the crappie and perch going to bite

So when is the early bite going to start? As soon as the ice is gone? Just wanted some opinions.

I'm hoping as soon as the ice is off. I'm chompin at the bit to get out!

the crappie are biting, watched a 20 lb flathead eat a 7 inch crappie, as i was trout fishing at lake today

I'll probably go out next weekend.

went out today, cant next weekend got 2 nieces birthdays,,,,on saturday, may go on sunday...

Where I was last ice fishing is probably still a no go, but I may ride out to the dam my family owns today. Maybe it's melted enough. It was losing its ice first, and there are some nice crappie and perch there too. ;)

where is that at???

The one my family owns? It's in Lahmansville. Or are you talking about where I was making my sad attempt at ice fishing. That was a dam out near Dorcas.

the dam... i never heard of dorcas

I rode out to our dam and it's not ready yet. Dorcas is a small unincorporated community not far from Petersburg.
