We catch more big crappie in the spring - March through May - than any other time but you never know when a wall-hanger will show up.
The biggest crappie that I've had a client catch - a 2-pound, 8-ounce, 17-incher - was in August two years ago when you'd least expect it. Our heaviest this year - a 2-pound, 3-ounce, 16.5-incher - was in March and we had several 17-inchers last spring but they were all pretty slim - not quite 2-poiunds.
We catch some gooduns in the winter and they are really getting fat now and will keep on fattening up until the spawn.
Just let me know when you want to go and we'll concentrate out efforts on the holes that have produced the biggest crappie.
