    Default Spawning Habitat Question


    I’ve read and heard about a couple different types of habitat that Crappie like to use for spawning, those being sandy river bottom and small pebbles, but I’d like to know if there are other significant types of areas that one should look for to find spawning fish this Spring? I’d especially be interested in hearing what guys that fish Wheeler and Flint Creek see.

    White crappie will sometimes use the elbows in submerged trees.

    Calm warm 58-72 degree water(depending if your talking white or black crappie) with hardwood 6-8 ft deep.
