Crappie are around 10 feet deep which is the most shallow this species has been for a really long time. Water temperature came up 2 degrees and has created some movement. Crappie jigs dark in color have been the key. Remember they are line shy so use 2 or 4 pound test for the best results. Catfish are going for frozen shad right now, must be tired of mackerel.
