I usually don't start fishing this early in the year but am going on Friday afternoon. What are the crappie doing this time of year? I plan to look around for them with electronics and target them instead of my normal bass fishing and really have no idea where to start.
Anything you can help me with will direct me on which areas to target at Logan Martin. If I can't find anything the first few hours I'll switch off and bass fish which I'm way more comfortable with but mother in law has asked for a crappie dinner so going to give it a try.
Thanks for any help.

Bridge Columns, Bluff Ends, any place creek or river channels intersect or rub against banks/shallower water. Looking at Martin lake, that lake is a deep son of a gun! I personally would look for bluff ends on the down current side and scan them all. Crappie can be found in every water depth there is this time of year, but I would mainly focus on areas that have both shallow and deep water access, close to structure, that requires the least amount of effort for the fish to move up and down in the water column and eat. On a side note, everything and I mean everything likes to eat crappie, bass included. If you find Crappie, you'll find Bass Too. To the point where those little green bastages will ruin a crappie trip because they'll eat that little 2" Bobby Garland just as readily as crappie will. I know absolutely ZERO about Martin, but I could spend days investigating this area for crappie.

If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.
