Are you set up to longline? if so, I would be longlining flats out to 15 ft of water. If not you could try minnow/vertical jigging brush piles and blowdowns to find a fish
Yep, wear your rain gear! :biggrin just kidding, it depends on the water temp, if it is in the 50's they probably won't be up shallow yet so I would fish 10 to 15 foot of water. Look for drop offs or contour lines and brush piles.
Good luck!
Longlining is the gold standard in crappie fishing. Very good advice given. Lots of reading to get you started in search function at top of page. I think we are in a pattern right now between winter and spring where conditions change very quickly. Check messages daily and it will be a good guide to what is going on your chosen area.
headed to blackshear Tue if i get back from Valdosta in time if not it will be Wed .will try dropdhot minnows or long lining . may do some dock shooting .Quote:
