Stockton water temps and crappie spawning

[Kramr]

Saw 1 estimate of 50 degrees today. From what I have read, the spawn starts around 55 degrees. 

What are people actually seeing?

water temps are now in the upper 50s, if you can find the right water your gonna catch fish shallow.

Saturday I found water 52-58 from Cedar Ridge to up by Aldrich.

So if I read correctly, spawning starts in the upper arms and then works it's way down to the main lake. Think there will be any crappie still spawning by the second week in May?

I'm sure someone is going to argue with me... but yes they will still be spawning on Stockton the second week in May.  I have caught crappie all the way up until the first week of June around Hawker Point that still have eggs in them.

[Kramr]

Hope you are correct Lowe.

Lots of people were trying last weekend around the cc area, but few were successful. We were jigging visible timber in one cove and saw another boat catch 4-5 crappie right next to the bank, but the action was far from furious. There only keeper crappie we caught were on trees in 8-20 ft of water.

Lowe is correct and crappie are being caught late in the evening and at night in 4 ft
