Early Spring Crappie Fishing

​As the water warms up to 50 degrees, male crappies flock to the shallows. As the water hits 60, the females follow. Look for crappie in creeks and around fallen trees and other shoreline structures like bushes and stumps. A minnow under a bobber is a surefire approach, but crappies can be caught on 1/16 ounce jigs with a 2-inch twistertail.
