I braved the 25 mph wind and constant rain last friday and ended up with 2 crappie. I know that sucks, but they sure tasted good as a small (very) appetizer that night

41 degrees on March 6th.

They are real deep now at that temp, in about 10 degrees they will be in the mid depths ready to make a run to the shallows...

I would rather fish in the rain than in hard wind.... I hate that crap

yeah, 41 degrees hould have them bunched up pretty tight in about 25 to 27 feet of water on flats right at the channel edges. If you don't mind getting the boat out now, they can be easy pickens and usually are fairly agressive.

they are easier to catch now than they are in July and August because you know where they are now.

true. only problem is that it is much more enjoyable to have a few cold beers and jump into the lake if you get too hot in July than it is now. I'll probably wait a few weeks till they start showing up closer to the banks

check out crappie.com forum, they have state specific crappie fishing forums.... I have learned alot over the years there

will do thanks. We are going down to Stockton Lake a few times this year. Usually known more for Walleye and Bass, but we get into some very nice 12 and 13 inch slabs in late April and then again in mid September. I'm totally chomping at the bit right now. I'll check that forum

If all goes well, I may be doing this on Sunday down in Palm Beach:

Hitting up Truman this weekend...hoping the warmer temps might drive the crappie into shallower water around the deadfall.
