What I am hearing form all the folks that live on the Mid-South Lakes for 2010 CRAPPIE SEASON will be coming a little later than normal due to all the super cold weather that we have had this winter. Usually the water temp about this time of the year is about 50 to 55 degrees and we are looking right now at 40 to 44 degree water.
They are reporting catching some crappie at different lakes like Horseshoe In Arkansas, Smith Lake and Weiss Lake in Alabama. Do not be fooled into thinking this means it is hot all over, because it is not. The folks that are catching crappie have to work real hard just for a few.
I am looking at the last week of March and the hottest will be the first week to two weeks in April. March’s full moon is the last week of March like the 29th and if we can get at least one week of 70 degree temp it just might turn the crappie on, and they will move up for the spring spawn.
I even will go so far to say that I feel like we will not see a spring time it will jump from winter to summer all in one week. Look for at least 4 to 5 days of real warm weather and then hit the lakes after the Crappie.
