shallow water spring presentations education
some out there already know how to ketch spring run fish .
some maybe not so much .
keep in mind crappie are really really spooky when they come in to spawn .
they face an array of possible enemies in short water that they normally don't have to deal with .
not being seen is the key to survival and reproduction .
so if the water is really turbid, muddy, cloudy with limited clarity ...
they will likely go REALLY shallow .
cover is the next item that helps them remain unseen.
brush ,lilies, cattails, bull rushes and other shoreline cover ....
same gig , REALLY shallow .
the next item is the cover of darkness and once again ...REALLY shallow.
in the end judge the visibility of the water .
the clearer it is the deeper they may spawn .
some spots it might be out in 5 to 10 foot of water .
turbid/dirty water maybe 18 inches deep at times .
take lots of floats with ya and last tip ....
put on your knee highs before you go , you might need them
these are just some general rules about the spring run that will put fish in your hand :highfive
KABOOM is the word
