Spawn - then where do they go
Our crappie should be spawning soon water temp getting warmer. I bought 3 12' poles to get started. I plan on trying to jig/cast towards shore and then use the 12' poles to spider rig. My question how do you find the crappie after they leave the shore. I have GPS coordinates where brush piles are place by local DNR but never had much luck trying to catch any with a jig and pole.
Last year we had a couple good nights fishing on shore and then it was like lights out and we could not find them.
I have two lakes that are close, one is a reservoir flood control. The other is a no wake lake with many piles of brush but heavily fished close to metro.
thanks for any help
