slow down and fish deeper
How do you guys fish for crappie in January when the water is cold? It's supposed to be warm here in NC and if I get time I might go.
Thanks for your help
slow down and fish deeper
with my mind on crappie and crappie on my mind -

Troll the channels and drop-offs looking for a group of fish. Then tightline minnows or jigs starting at the bottom and slowly reeling up until you find the right depth. I will let the bait set a few minutes, no bite then reel in about a foot and repeat. Once you have an established depth, then you can anchor down or troll along the channels at that depth.
i fish buggs island all winter and we catch most over brush in 15 to 25 ft. either swimmin jigs over brush or jigging strait down in the brush..been catching a lot last couple weeks 4 to 10 over the brush piles...swimmin the jig after we count it down to that depth. hope this helps!!
