Lets spin up a little conversation here about the crappie spawn. What day last year did y'all start catching crappie limits or good numbers? I remember I caught my first limit on March 18. So please share with us what day you noticed they where moving in thick? Please share your thoughts, theories, etc.... I know this year it a lot different from last year but please share your knowledge of past years that have been similar to this one. I have not been crappie fishing along time, this will be my second spawn to fish so I'm not to familiar with the spawn etc.

I usually don't do well from the bank or in shallow water until April. March is sandbass season for me.

I never did catch my limit on crappie or sandbass over at Old Alton bridge from all the water I think. But I did limit out several times on blue cats at Marshall Creek on grapevine during the floods.

I think one misconception is that too much attention is drawn to the spawn or 'run'. The fish follow shad, if the shad are in the creek so are the sandies and crappie and the shad tend to move up the creek in the winter so you can really catch them earlier it just depends if the food source is there or not. It may not be as fast as the spawn but you can still do pretty good without the run it just may take a bit more work to get a limit.
