Crappie?
Message:
Just wondering what you guys use for early season crappie. Went yesterday with small jigs under floats and got about half a dozen. I also lost a few. Of course i also lost the biggest 1 i hooked into right at the bank. Any tips or info on what water temp is good for the best bite is appreciated. Thanks :D

NWDarkcloud (aka Bob) and I spoke with a couple of fishermen who were pulling them up with some mummies they had left over from ice fishing floated under bobbers. I think that any bait would do, though. I caught only one, today, with a Watermelon Pearl 2-1/2 inch Berkley Gulp! Minnow on a 1/8 ounce round jighead, but I was fishing the bottom all day: [img:902d6e0cf0]http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2193/img5043cropped.jpg[/img:902d6e0cf0]

If anybody were to think about the warm winter we had last year and how warm it got in March, the water temp at Lake Kenosia was warm enough in mid April for the crappie to be in full force with crankbaits. Whenever we have an average winter and spring with enough warm spells, May into early June has been the time I get them with crankbaits from shore. Water temp I'd guess would be in the lower 50's
