Welcome to the Stage pm. Here in East Texas the weather is keeping them screwed up. One day it’s freezing, the next day it’s warmed up. The Crappie I’ve caught have all had eggs but I don’t think they have matured yet. I’m not sure about the Georgia weather. Anyway, welcome to the Stage and thanks for joining up.

You will have a few going shallow but the majority will still be in pre spawn mode. I live on Lake Hartwell so Clark’s Hill spawn is normally just a little earlier.
FYI, don’t wait on the spawn for the best crappie fishing. I fish for crappie year round and guide part time, 25-35 trips a year to pay for my expenses.
After the lake does the “turnover” which is normally around November nowadays… fish brush or timber 12-20 ft deep over 20-40 ft of water, for daytime.
Night fishing is the best numbers, fish long points that drop off into creek channels, same depth as daytime. You must have bait around to catch numbers at night, you do not need any structure. If no bait is found on your sonar then don’t even anchor. Lights will pull the bait in then crappie will eat. Cast net the thread fin shad and the party is on. Took 2 party’s last Saturday and Sunday and caught over 200.
Just FYI

Lot of trial and error. Mainly lots of time on the water. Started young with my dad/fishing teacher and became obsessed with it. Love taking people and showing them a good time. Especially the kids.
Good luck to you sir
