I don't think anyone can answer that question(s) for a fact. Any answer would only be a SWAG.

It's going to depend on the lake and water conditions. Is a thermocline present? Barometric pressure also makes it hard for fish to move. I have found the wintertime thermocline to be when fish are most lethargic and bait placement most critical. Summertime crappie are scattered more, but will be aggressive at times and chance the abundant amounts of bait. Feeding times seem to come more into play in the summer.
