Water temp has dropped over 10 degrees since last week. It's like starting all over again! Just stick with pre-spawn methods and all should be fine!Quote:

cold, wet, tired.....MM
Went out Monday for about an hour only caught one, about 12". It sure beat sitting at home. Fishing has slowed down for me, too cold.
on your own time joe, welcome to Crappie.Com---haven't seen you on here before are you new? NWA? nice to hear you made it out and caught one, 12" is a good size slab too! MM (minnowman)Quote:

The bite is STILL on so I can only imagine what happens when the water temperature gets up around 63 again it will do, hahaha~! Good luck...you fish from the bank primarily or you got a boat? Have a good one, MMQuote:

I'll pay for a trip if you think you can guide me on them...I want to learn there feeding habits THAT bad on Beaver....later man!~MM
I am by no means a walleye fisherman! I catch them on accident while crappie fishing. I caught that one on edens bluff about 10' down on a curl tail grub. I will start nightstalking soon when the weather straightens up. Are you in? It may be a weeknight. I usualy don't stay out much later than 1 a.m.Quote:

Good luck!
Wow J.T. another super catch in pitiful conditions, heard that about the corporate pond having white caps, my toilet bowls in the house had white caps also. Am definatly braving whatever conditions tomorrow. Are they still biting in deep water? Congrats on the catch.

Yes they are near the bottom or just above in 18'-24' of water.Quote:

We caught 41 keepers today. They were all off the bottom in 20' to 30' of water just off the bank.Quote:
