Crappie spawning and nothing biting in muddy water

[NIMROD]

Are you sure they’re spawning?
If so just keep fishing cover you expect to find them in. Once you find the males , they should bite.
I caught some last week in 2 ft of muddy water.

Lots of fresh water and lower temps can push them out

That can happen , especially if the water gets unusually high and falls rapidly

If a big rain comes on one of our local lakes around here it can really mess crappie & bass fishing both up because the water rises so much & gets muddy. The fish pull out & suspend in open water waiting for things to stabilize.

The fish finder did show tons of fish suspended in deeper water so that could be what happened. Been really, REALLY wet here this year and colder than normal.
But come in cycles so fish may just be waiting for stable temps and conditions.
