Went out on a west metro lake yesterday. There was a little ice in a bay yet, but the rest of the lake was ice free. Water temps were 38-39 degrees.
Anybody ever catch crappies in those kinds of water temps from a boat? We struggled. We marked fish, but couldn’t get any takers. Seen some fish in deeper water and some in shallower, 5-7ft. I am guessing the sunshine this week will help turn those fish on.
