Here’s a secret many crappie anglers don’t want you to know: Winter is the best time for crappie fishing. The schools are bigger and more tightly compact, so you can sit in one spot and catch fish-after-fish. Crappie feed heavily in cold water. And, quite often, you’ll have the lake to yourself (the main reason they want to keep this a ...
I fish a reservoir in Kansas and historically have only targeted Crappie during the spawn.
