Water temp for spring crappie ?
OK, I'll admit it - I'm pretty much a crappie newbie. I fish for them several times a year - always during the late spring or summer.
I've got the boat and gear I need BUT no knowledge of pursuing these little boogers year-round.
My question: As winter ends, what water temp is necessary for the fish to start moving into beds? And for you midwesterners (I am from MO), what month/week/(exact date and time would be nice ) does this start to occur?
I bought a bigger boat last year so the wife and kids can all go without tipping over, and want to start planning some fishing weekends !!
Any direction would be appreciated -
THANKS,
Ralph
