Where do crappie go in the winter?

CatchNgrease,
Is your digital records on an app or another way? I’m looking to retain my fishing records on something and was curious what you use. Thanks for any input.

I use an app called Diaro. I also use it for oil changes...tire rotation..other things I need to remember. It have it set to remind me at 8pm. It's super easy and I don't think I pay anything for it.

Find your bait fish and the crappie and all other fish will be close, as long as your near a ledge. Learn to read your electronics, and trust what you see, if you find baitfish look for a ledge close, all ledges and bait fish don’t hold crappie, but you keep looking and fishing and get time on the water, you’ll find them, nothing beats time on the water.

I’m in Mississippi. Last week water temps were in the upper 40’s today in the 60’s I’d normally see crappie stacked up but today nope. I was only out for a couple of hours and caught one in less than two feet of water. Last week they’d be stacked and I’d throw a marker and paddle back around and they’d be gone. This weather has them just as confused as it does us in my opinion.

AND ... ya'll don't want to forget the springs that may be in your lakes The water coming from them can be a few degrees warmer than the surrounding area's water, and you can bet the fish know where they are !! And on the flip side, during hot water times they can also provide cooler water !!

Great tip!

Depends on region of the country, length of day light, water/air temp. In ice covered lakes there is more oxygen in the main lake. Open water has oxygen all over the lake.
