sometimes I wonder where they go on the main lake. I usually can find them all year long whether its on the main lake or up in a creek but not in February. Its like they disappear .

All of them. I'm just getting into the crappie fishing so it is hit or miss for me. But I will stick with it and hopefully be able to consistently catch them. In the mean time I will be lurking and learning on here.

I get out of the loop about October during deer season, then start fishing again in Jan. Usually don't find them again til March.

Before the spawn they can be found following/gorging on shad...so just go looking for bait balls...and you should find the crappie.

I usually don't have a problem at least catching enough for dinner any given month but this year has been the toughest i've ever had. and when I say tough thats an understatement , the last 2 weeks I fished 4 times without a keeper boated. pretty frustrating to say the least but it will change soon.

All the time for me. I never caught a single crappie last year. It's all Al Gore's fault with his global warming scam.
From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!
