A Question About Crappies

[zamboni]

I have been hammering crappies off a public dock in a public park. My question- if i were to set up my Clam in the same spot this winter, will they still be there- or is the dock the reason they are there? Thanks

Dude, that is soooo like asking why is your left hand on the left side?

Joking aside, set up the clam and jig. If you catch crappies then life is good. If not, you answered your own question. The dock may have a lot to do with why crappies are there now, but things change with the seasons.

[toughguy]

The weeds, the bottom, and the temp. are why they are there now. I assume your dock is in about 5 ft of water. If that's the case I would not expect the crappies to be there in winter. Usually they like it a little deeper. I wouldn't bet it would be the best location in the lake to sit on all winter long. Give it a shot someday next winter and you'll have your answer. It would be better there at first ice and last ice than mid winter.

Yes, yes they will be...or not? Yes, you are correct sir, the dock does belong to the public speaker of note! No, they might be, but it's hard to tell at this late date weither or not the prognosis is correct in it's current application?

You may be dealing with a hypothetical unresolved issue in sofar as the political right is concerned? It may or may not be relevent to state that indeed the fish you are after is in close relation to someones second cousin?

Mr. Zamboni I hope this has answered your question once and for all the world will know where to catch the crappies you seek, at a given time.

Are you a lawyer, or a politian?

[tearin' lips]

Maybe he's an English Major showing off...

I am sure they are only holding there for the reasons mentioned in tough guys post. Water temp, weeds, and bottom content. They will go deeper in the winter, but if forage is available the same spot should be a good spot for early and late ice action...Try really early, but be safe.

[The Grebe]

Neither, nor, just had some time to act goofy...whole thing makes no sense at all....at least I don't think it does?

Hey? wait a minute? I better look into this further? Maybe I'am an undiscovered politian and didn't even know it? If I can balance on a fence, maybe I have a chance? Gotta go check it out!
