So. Best to night fish when the water temp is 85-90 during the day? I wonder if it cools down much at night? In the shallow lakes I fish, water temp gets to ans stays around 90 in the summers during the day.

no, you can night fish all year long. my photobucket will attest to that. that guide is a general plan. weather changes can move crappie all over in any given season. differnt types of waters also effect locations. forage, current, water clerity, avg. depth, weed growth............................. goes on and on, till you figure it out(enough to satisfy yourself lol)

are they spawning or done already in GA.?

Thanks. I think they are done in the smaller ponds/lakes like the ones I fish. The big ones I think are just starting to heat up.

If you go back in the archives, Cane Pole put one on here some time back that is condensed and really simple. Easy to print off and put in your tackle box.

Good read, but it doesn't take into account the angle of the sun at various times of the year. And it certainly doesn't account for daily, weekly or monthly temperature fluctuations and weather. The water may be in the upper 60 degrees one day and plunge back into the low 50's at other times of the week. Especially up here in the northeast. Just this week we've seen 20 degree fluctuations from week to week. It would be difficult to relate these conditions to that chart.

Maybe down south where temperature fluctuations are less severe. But I wouldn't bet on crappie following that chart up here. I could be wrong!

Guide is a good foundation and can be modified to fit your area.
