Crappie are staging to spawn. Locate the fish cribs on your down and side imaging. Vertically jig over the tops of the cribs. Crappie are also moving into shallow areas. Pitch 2" paddle tail swimbaits to find these fish. There are plenty of good sized crappies (10"-12")

Once water temps are high 50's low 60's the smallies should be spawning. They spawn where the bottom is sandy with some rocks in about 1-6 feet of water. You should be able to sight fish them and use a bright colored bait. Drop shot a white or pink worm and drag it right across their bed.-Preston M
Arthur G OkerlundBronze AmbassadorSpeciesCrappieTechniqueIce Fishing SpoonsSeasonIceStructureBrush PilesI use livescope to find a crib in 15-22 ft of water. Sit on the spot for an hour, if you aren't catching fish move off the crib and switch your baits and keep switching them until it gets their attention. I use a 1/4 oz spoon tipped with a minnow head or waxies depending on the bite.
