I've been doing well on crappie the last 7 months. Chasing and finding them. Mid December they disappeared once the water temp went below 40. The reservoir water is rising. The main reservoir water temp is around 38 give or take for the time of day. The last place I found was in 20ft. I have searched 20fow to 45fow with no signs of life. It's a large reservoir so I have a ton of water to cover 4,000 acres. What are the odds they went shallow? 2ft to10ft?
I have checked creek channels, creek inlets, dropoffs and ledges, structures, habitat boxes. Ive been using my side imaging to cover as much water as I can.
