Thread: Hello crappie anglers

Found the website yesterday and love it! All the info i need on crappie fishing i'm finding right here. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. Was wondering what ya'll thought about this cold front moving in this week, probaly won't get to hit the water till this weekend.


Thanks

I think it's just what we need to cool the water down and get them back to feeding up for winter and next spring's spawn. It may take a day or two after the front has passed though. Next week should be real good with cooler temps and stable weather.

Welcome to the board H2OGASM, hopefully with the front coming thru Wed. night or Thur. morning maybe by the weekend the crappie will be bitiing again. Gonna be out there trying anyway. Again welcome and join right in, lots of good info to be had here.

Welcome H2OGAZM! This is a great web site to enjoy freinds and share good times.

This weekend looks good for the duck huntin. That's where I will be. But..... I think before this front comes thru will be great fishin. Have a freind that is loadin the boat at Spring Lake. And they are full of eggs? What's up with that?

Dad was in AL over Thanksgiving and did a little fishin and the bass he cought out of the pond was full of eggs.

Not being a fall fishin guy, this is new to me.

Let's go fishin!

Welcome aboard! I'm not sure about the front. It will be a strong one, but with it moving through on Thursday, the fishing may improve by the weekend. What lakes do you normally fish?

Welcome from East Arkansas

Welcome from the West!:D

It's supossed to be cold after the front, maybe they will bite by Saturday...

Hey Slipcork:

It's normal for them to have eggs this time of year. When the surface temps fall through the mid to lower 60's they start putting on eggs for next spring's spawn. It takes a while to make several hundred thousand eggs and a lot of energy too so that's one reason that fall fishing can be so productive.

Since the water temperatures have been staying pretty close to 60 here for several weeks now they've gotten a bit lazy but this next cold front and the cooler days it should bring us will get them going again - (I hope).

hey Jerry,

Thanks for the info. I'm still a geenhorn at this. But I love learnin!

That's the fun part.

Get this huntin out of my system and maybe I can get back after them crappie.

So many questions have been answered on this very thread. Question to all the pro's here: Why is it on Cane Creek this weekend I was catching them 3 to 5 feet deep, but down the road at lake Monticello, they are catching them 35-40 feet deep. What is up with that?
