    I don't think it's ever too early As long as you can get the shad in, I've found that crappies aren't usually far behind. I was night stalking in late November last year with good results. Biggest problem at that time of year is keeping your fingers and toes warm.

    I'd pick a spot close to where the crappie are hanging out during the day, though. Since they are staging up for spawning, they might not travel out as far.

    I have a couple of spots where the fish spawn. I was thinking of setting up close to one of those spots and try to catch them coming in to that spawning area and as they come out. I will fish the area late that day before I get setup just to see what's going on. Thanks for the advise

    Nightstalking works all year! I like it better in the cold months because you get less bugs to deal with. Go get em Bean

    Look for the deeper waters close to where the fish spawn the banks. I recommend 20+ feet of water if you can find it, but anything close to that will do. Check the creek channels.
