They're scattered right now on the lower end of Guntersville. Wednesday the water temp was 60-61 late in the day. They're slowly starting to move shallow. There are still some fish around bridges early in the mornings. In the afternoon you'll probably be better off finding and fishing structure in 6-10' of water.
The downfall this weekend will be the full moon. Full moon Crappie fishing is frustrating.

Dad kept 20 today fishing a single pole. They were in 20 foot of water holding about 15 foot deep on wood
We will burn that bridge when we get there

This cold weather will push them back to deeper water and help the bridge fishing.

As cold as its beem thes past few days the should be rockin under a bridge early. I know they was bout 10 cars on warrenton causeway today an that many at town creek. When the temp comes up some in the water they ort to be tryin to bed soon if some aint already been tryin. Wait til bout the middle of april an you should be able to load the boat with minners under bout any bridge around guntersville. Id be jiggin right now tho they catchin them in the mornin uder bridges

Why do they stack up at bridges? That's where they go to meet babes. Seriously though, Crappie and lots of other fish relate to structure. Bridges provide vertical structure as well as depth changes, and sometimes they act as a current break too. They are good ambush points for preying on baitfish,and Crappie love to hang out in the shade provided by them.

Why do they stack up at bridges? Funnel and a current break. If the water isn't moving the crappie usually aren't biting under the bridges.

Glad you caught enough to stink up a skillet. I only caught 2 on Guntersville today.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I think they are trying to spawn around this full moon. We caught several today on crankbaits a 4 inch swimbait and my buddy even caught one on a senko. Picked up a crappie jig and caught several more. Biggest one was pushing 2lbs
We will burn that bridge when we get there

Are yall catching em deep at this point or are they moving to the shallows? Went a few times in the past few weeks but only catching the babies. I don't know where you are fishing but below your screen name it says central Alabama. That may mean the Crappie spawn is a little further along than it is in north Alabama. I have caught mine lately fishing shallow, like 2' shallow, but adjacent to deeper water, 10' deep or so.

Any Guntersville reports? I think I might get to slip off this afternoon and give it a try. The wife & I caught'em last Friday (4-7) and Saturday (4-8) at Goose Pond. Limited out (60) each day with one on Saturday weighing 2 lb 9 oz. We had some really good fish both days. Very few short fish. Most were caught in 5 to 6 ft of water.
