Welcome to Crappie.com pauldo. The night bite stays good all winter. You will catch big crappie in Dec, Jan and Feb nightstalking.
We most fish in the 25 to 30 depths with our bait anywhere from top to bottom. Let the fish tell you the depths they want the bait then set you bait to that depth. The main thing we look for before setting up is bait. Once I find bait I like to set up near a drop or channel.
Good luck and be sure to post some reports on your catch. Check out the SC board, most of the time there will be a nightstalking report there.
