Welcome to the Board!!This time of year you should try to fish structure in deep water[brush piles,laydowns,humps,breaklines,ect.].As the water temps. rise the Crappie will move closer to spawning areas. As for what to use, I prefer 1/16 oz. jigheads with mini tubes[squrmin squirt,ect]. charlie Brewer Sliders are a good bet too!!I almost always use something with Chartruese, orange/chart, black/chart., ect. . Hope I"ve helped you some!!
