crappie season last?

just wondering how long the crappie bite will remain good?
does it slow any before the ice? I am thinking i have about 4-6 weeks left before the water go's hard.

Down here in NC we catch'em all year long. Infact Jan and Feb are among the best months for us.

Waters still a bit too hot down here in Florida. Fish should start biting in a few weeks.

You should be able to get them through the ice....I just don't target them when I'm up north because I Target the Yellow Parch...

They have to eat year round.

We fish for them all year long here in MS. Winter is a good time to crappie fish for us.

Personally i cant wait for hard water. Love pulling them up through the hole. Usually no crowds. Quite dark snowy nights are a lot of fun if you have the right equipment and dress for it. Up in Northern Illinois there is a lot of pressure on our lakes so its nice when only the die hards are out. Tight lines or Flags up bobbers down.
