Hey folks! Checking in from SE Texas here, Lake Livingston to be exact. I have a great time catching white bass on LL and have noticed that during the white bass spawn I always seem to pick up 1 or 2 crappie. Well that got me to thinkin'. Do the crappie run up river about the same time the white bass make their spawn run down here? I don't catch them everywhere. On the Trinity River I will typically only run into white bass during the spawn...but if I want to get in there a little early, I'll skip the river and hit the creeks and THAT'S where I tend to run into a crappie or two. Since I have never purposely targeted crappie I have made a pre-New Year resolution to get on them this time. I say "this time" because I tend to start looking for white bass around this time in the creeks. Usually start finding males staging.

Or do crappie head into the creeks after the Dogwood blooms?

Thanks!
