Ok all you veteran spider riggers, what's some things to do to find crappie after the spawn? Is there usually a morning pattern and then an evening pattern? Any help would be appreciated.

Start pullin
I have do not fish like that anymore. But look on drops where they pulled up stage'n and they tend to move back out there after the spawn.
Kent I've seen you mop the floor over here pulling. You have that down to a science. When I have my granddaughter out with me in the pontoon that's usually what we do and are fairly successful but when I'm alone in the kayak I would rather spider rig or single pole. Ca this is usually the busiest time of year for me at work but not this year so I think I'm going to get to fish a good bit of after spawn/before summer fishing. What you said is what I kind of heard( to follow the fish back out like they came in), but Beaver Lake has never been good to me in the post spawn mode. Every year is different and maybe this year will be my year cause I never stop trying.
I know about beaver lake, the lakes I fish move out to the first drop and speed up a little and as it gets warmer keep moving out they follow the same pattern moving out to deeper water same as coming to spawning areas! !!!!
Meant to say I don't know about beaver lake, but the lakes I fish.
I knew what you meant, heck I fish Beaver and I don't know about Beaver lake.....thanks Meatgetter
I know about Beaver lake. It can beat you like a drum and make you wanna take up.....Bass Fishing
Lol nothing could make me fish for tomato fertilize! !!!!
Head back out to the channel and find some 12 ft flats in the main channel. You will do fine. There are many of them between War Eagle Marina (not war eagle arm) and Hickory Creek Marina. In fact try the big cove behind Hickory Creek and fish just out from the dock with 4 garage doors. You will find a big brush pile. Good fishing this time of year.
Have to agree with meatgetter they will move to the first cover they can find right after spawning then move a little deeper after that just have to find the right cover at the right depth on the right day nothing to it:fish
Get the crank bait addiction, spend a few grand and have a blast. You can push em also.
I agree with meatgetter no trash fish for me.
Thanks for all the advice guys. Had a fun day today. Caught most fish today on those 2.5" Arkie tube jigs. One crappie swallowed 2 of those huge jigs. Attachment 161702. Also caught 2 on one line. Attachment 161703
Nimrod I had a 1/4 oz jig stuffed in each head. Attachment 161704
Nice Pics. Thanks for sharing.
Good ones. 2 jigs in one crappie? That dude was hungry!
