When the water temp gets right what do y’all look for when hunting shallow crappie? I always quit chasing them to hunt turkey about the time they go shallow. I’ve tried hard bottom with structure but never seem to find them. We had water temps in the 62 range and they had left the bridges where I fish.Big G is my home water if anyone wants to be specific in a pm.😬

Some times I use a float above my jig. Use the smallest float you can find and a jig head that's heavy enough to pull it half way under. If that float moves and you didn't make it move, set the hook. Using a float makes it easier to fish over eelgrass.
Like the others said, structure in shallow water. Grass is structure just like a tree limb is.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

I reckon I’m just unlucky finding them because those are the kinda of places I check. north shore vs south shore? Bottom type I assume hard or gravel bottom?

I caught one on a 3/8 Spinnerbait Sunday that was 14" long and 6" wide. I had a bag of catfish fillets and crappie fillets from the day before i was gonna fry that evening, so she got a pass lol

Last week first time in years I caught them shallow before turkey season. I went back yesterday and not a bite. I figured this cold spell pushed them out.
