    Default 50 degree water?


    Teh water here is 50 degrees. Do you think the crappie will move up shallow with the sun out and temps warming?

    Any warming trend will get them scouting around the shallows for a place to spawn. Here in the past when we've had surface temps in the low to mid 40s and the water warmed up 3 or 4 degrees over a couple days we have found a few in the shallows this time of year. This year 48 is about as cold as we have seen but I expect if the water warms to the low to mid 50s for a few days we'll be finding a few in the shallows. We've checked a few times recently but haven't found any shallow here yet.
    FISH ON!

    Water temps on Beaver have also been about 48 degrees. I have found good numbers of fish moving into shallow brush on sun filled banks with a little stain to the water. The keeper to non keeper ratio has been 3 dinks to one keeper unfortunatley! But none the less fish are biting!

    Shilohred,
    That's a good question. It has been quite warm here in South Louisiana. I would think with our often dirty and very stained water that the crappie would be moving into the shallows pretty soon. Everything I've read said that the crappie spawn with the water temperatures and light penetration and that dirty waters warm faster than clear.

    Its been so hot and the waters so dirty them crappie are probably siting on the bank in a lawn chair by now (LOL)
    I can't leave now; They fixen to turn on.

    the water temp here never got below 53 degrees this year. Our water is clear to very lightly stained. I have tried fishing the shallow creeks since I've heard about all the creek fish being caught. I've struck out more often than I've caught. I guess our fish don't understand that they are supposed to be up a creek.
