When fishing for crappie in the spring time, which do you prefer? Fishing around rocks or grass beds?

It depends on where the fish are. I would fish both and let the fish tell me where they are.

I assume you are refering to the spawn so IMHO let me say I have never caught Crappie in grass beds during the spawn.They are nestbuilders and usually prefer firm bottom to build their nest`s ie. sandy bottoms,gravel bottoms,dirt bottoms but not grass bottoms.Cattails are a PLUS if you have them on your lake!

Either one bank or by boat. Just wanted to know if you had to choose between a rocky spot or cattails or grassy area, which would you prefer to fish first. I mean I fish it all, but for some reason I like fishing cattails.

If both held fish I would choose rocks but this is seldom the case. I fish were they are not were I want them to be.

I've had a lot of slabs come off of rocks but like some guys above mentioned, try them both and see where they are.
