Crappie Basics Post-Spawn in the South

Crappie Basics #110

It’s spawn time in the middle states but down south
where I’m at in Louisiana, it’s post-spawn. We are looking
for fish that are still in shallow water and those that
have moved away from the bank. The fish are active
again and ready to eat so there can be some excellent
fishing fun down here. Start search with the electronics
because they can be at a variety of depths. Once you
zero in on the strike zone, the fish should be in that
same depth all over the lake.
