I will be coming down this weekend to try out some new electronics and hopefully get on some crappie. I'm on the 19mm. Any advice on what they are biting on and where they are is really appreciated. I haven't been down since early January.

I crappie fished yesterday in the north Shore area. Lots of ice in the coves. The first 4 spots I fished we didn't get a bite but hit the mother load on the fifth spot and we caught are limit. It was a secondary point with pea gravel mixed with chunk rock. Caught bout half on jerk bait and half on Bobby garland baby shad. Water temp was 38.

Well it sucked up here on the 33MM today. Spent many hours on a neighbors dock that a buddy says will guarantee fish.......not. 1 keeper several shorts.

How deep is the water around the dock? I shot some docks in coves around the 55mm last Saturday and most of the fish I caught were shorts in the shallower water. In a few hours, I caught about 30 fish and only 12 of them were keepers. Most were barely keepers, not the solid 10-11" fish I caught the week before in Indian Creek on the Gravois arm. The few nicer fish I did catch came off the end of the docks that sat over 15-20' of water so the nicer fish are still hanging out deeper.

Seth, I agree with the deeper water. The slips we were fishing were anywhere from 8' to 15' where we caught fish. Today after the sun came out and warmed things made a difference. We caught more keepers today.

Well we fished all afternoon yesterday. Sun was out but the wind was rather nippy. Sun made the bite a little better, caught a few more larger fish in 7'-10' water, very spotty. I was incorrect to assume they were all males as they were skinny. When we got to the cleaning table I was wrong. 80% were females with eggs, starting to get bloody but not busting at the seams. If they had some good sun and 60 plus temps it would kick them into gear.
