Crappie Fishing season is best when waters are at temperatures of 65 degrees or above. Waters in the south stay close to this level year round, with several lakes never dropping below 50 degrees, meaning that fish are still fairly active. It’s best to search in deeper waters if you are looking for crappie outside of the “official” crappie season, especially if you venture out in February during pre-spawning, as this is where the water will stay the warmest and crappie will be most content. However, during the height of the crappie fishing season, you should fish off the banks and piers or in the shallows because the crappie will prefer to take cover here while spawning.
