Had three days off this week so got out long lining. Caught 85 nice keepers on Logan Martin but there location had me a little baffled. Seemed more like what they would be doing in feb than the later part of March. Could find no crappie back in coves all these came in 18’ plus of water around shad at the mouth of coves. What are you guys finding. Have four days off next week and gonna get after them again.
I'm a rookie so I don't know what they're supposed to be doing but our water is still cold. I took off Monday and Tuesday to fish with my son while he has been out on spring break. We found water from 53-58. Never found any over 55 in the mornings. What fish we did find, and it wasn't many, were in the creek channels. I did find one channel that was absolutely loaded but couldn't make it happen. This picture was from a creek channel in around 30 FOW. We spider rigged in, over, around them for an hour and caught ONE crappie. (Mitch, this is the picture I tried to send you that you couldn’t open)

Finding some like this Attachment 335703but not many also catching some that are still real white like they just coming up out of the deep also have found some females that are ready to pop so my opinion they are at the beginning of a great 3-4 weeks !
Agree with Mitch, the fish we are finding seem to be in the staging stage. waiting on the water to warm up a bit.
Hung out in deep water. Waiting to stage

They’re in the I ain’t catching any stage.
I caught this 2 weeks ago before these cold fronts came. 1# 13oz. Attachment 335819
It was all beat up and dropping eggs.
There setting just of the banks waiting to move up everywhere I've been. On docks pretty good and deep brush, lots of fish staged up just off the spawning banks. Just need some warm weather

This has been a rough week the lower end of wheeler and elk. Water still cold 53 54 degrees with wind. Have caught no males that have that dark color no tails tore up. Talked to people spider rigging and not much luck there either. I found fish with livescope but that won't make them bite. Water still low close to the dam, we need some warm nights and a little water in wheeler. I think.....
I agree Glenn, as soon as the temperatures come up and stay they all will go.Quote:

Caught some on wheeler today. In 14 ft very slow roadrunner, water was 58 to 62 . Not many caught . But they right. Their staging on points , drop offs , channel edges , and close by cover . None I had today was no were near in coloring spawn .
I went to Cotaco Friday and caught 9 but had to fish 10 to 12 foot deep in 14 to 16 foot of water to find em and went back Saturday and ended up with 22 after finding out to catch em Friday,all fish I caught were deep and I tried my shallow honey hole and didn't find one fish except for skipjacksQuote:

They're just waiting for the water to warm. Seems like the deeper water is not warming at all and I've heard of an area on Big G that is getting ready to turn over, with stuff starting to float up off the bottom.
