Have seen them in in mid 50's and really doing it. In 2013 we had some warm weather at the end of January where temps hit the 70's for like a week. So neighbor and I talked about going fishing. He wanted to go cast a white spinnerbait and I wanted to try some new kind of jigs. He said well if you catch a crappie then he would change to crappie. It was Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3rd and we didn't even go early because it was a bit cool, but went out at 8 AM. Knocked off at 12 noon for lunch and didn't go back out until 2:30 PM and quit at 5:00 PM. It was fantastic and we were the only boat out fishing for crappie. We got out limits (50) of all big Male Blacks and had a great day of fishing! She caught them in something like 7' of water which is where I also way fish spring time or within a foot of that long line trolling. The water temps that day I believe was low 50's!

Here is a picture of that days catch!
