Thread: Spring crappie trouble

Are there any submerged trees you know about or are there trees underwater and can see the tops only above water? These will hold crappie to find without sonar. Any visible structure will hold crappie so you have to know where some may be without sonar. Try these sites. I did a Google search for LOP crappie spots and got these. Do a heavy search Here at C.C and you will find reports elsewhere by doing a google search deeper looking at any and all reports posted on internet.
If you have a phone you can view Navionics app and see the depth of lake in real time. You can use the GPS function of your phone to find the GPS spots from the website below. Here is a link for the Web app to see from your home computer...https://webapp.navionics.com/#boating@6&key=%3F%3F

Ive hit everything I know of but with the weather acting up I cant ever get a good read on where the crappie are sitting. They seem to be moving alot due to temps and the water dropping so fast. I tried the fish attractors, some shallow areas, brodge pylons and a few brush piles only to come up with a couple of fish. Thanks for the links.

Im going to get on the lake around 7am saturday morning and see where I go from there. The reports Im getting are that crappie have spawned and are moving to post spawn areas and the next guys says they still havent. Going to be trial and error until I find some.

Move, move, move and move again until you find them.... start shallow and work your way out....
Using your electronics to find the structure that's not visible above water is 10 times more productive than fishn stuff that any Joe Blow can see and fish....
Remember they don't board plans and go to another lake... have confidence....

From the reports OliverB post the crappie are thriving very well in LOP....

Thats one issue I have at the moment. No electronics on the boat yet. I sold my old boat as a package deal with everything on it and now working back to better stuff. Thanks for the advice guys.

a 99 dollar graph will tell the tale bro and to be sure if you know an area they spawn you need to do like SK said and try it shallow and work out from there .
I don't know that lake but I bet if you got a pair of binoculars you can see who is crappie ketchn and copy what they are doing ....I am of the opinion there are a lot of ways to skin a cat ....LOL

The graph on my last boat was a $99 Lowrance hook3. Im working on a Lowrance Hook5x splitshot and also the Hook7x splitshot. Put both of those on the boat hopefully in June.
