Crappie spawn

Have they hit The banks yet or have they started going back out? Thanks for any intel.

Crappie have been in and out for a couple weeks mid lake.  Depends on the weather.  Sunny afternoons they are on the bank.  Mostly males last weekend up on the bank.

Any sense of water temperature? Went down 2 weeks ago and no luck at all with crappie.

 

thanks!

LAst weekend we found 60 one afternoon.  Mainly 56-58

Thanks! We’ll be down this weekend and be sure to give an update on the crappie.

Any more luck with the crappie this week?
 

Fingers crossed with warmer days ahead.

Haven't been.  Won't know till I get back down there.

We caught some absolute Giants on Thursday bass fishing in the Gravois.  Stick bait in about 4 to 6 ft. of water on gravel windy banks.  Told Greg if we had a jig and float we would have slaughtered them. 58 degree and stained when we started and close to 64 when we ended the day.

They sure have to be by now. Spent Saturday AM chasing bass on Stockton and Mother Nature must’ve thought I was looking skinny. Two of these slabs hit a squarebill and one choked a half ounce spinnerbait, go figure. Walter also choked the blade. Sure was nice getting away from boat docks.

We were down this weekend and it seemed to change every day for us.  One day they wanted a shad imitation under a cork the next day wouldn't touch it but would hit a slow moving jig close to the bottom.  We ended up with a double limit on Friday and Saturday, but we had to work for it.  Evening bite was the best for us.  Most fish were scattered and only once did we catch more than 3 in the same spot.

Very similar tale for us.  Evenings better.  Had 3 different reports of pre-spawn females being caught in 15 to 20 feet of water on #7 shadraps, bandits, and flickr shad.  Better than 70% of our catch were males.
