Big Keene Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 i am planning on heading down to Stockton the weekend of March 21st. if the weather stays average for the next 2 weeks, what kind of pattern does anyone think the crappie will be on? planning on fishing out of Mutton Creek, does anyone think the walleye will be biting on jerkbaits that time of year? thanks for the advice Illegitimi non carborundum (Never let the bastards grind you down)
straw hat Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 They should be early prespawn. Probably at the mouths of spawning coves or on channel drop offs inside the bigger coves.
Members Haulin Bass Posted March 5, 2014 Members Posted March 5, 2014 My experience tells me, that the Crappie will still be in the deep. ""BUT"" if the water warms up, and stays stable, they could be in the "staging phase", where they stack up on the 15/20/25 foot brush piles just outside of the coves. You find that, and it's "GAME ON!" best bet, go south. CC, Aldridge, (Mutton might be okay). But you are talking 2 weeks. I was just there and the water was stil 36/38 dgrees. It will take a week in the 70's to get the water warm enough to turn the crappie on. Magic number is 58 degrees. 56/58 is when they start goin' cra cra!
