Here is where the best crappie fishing is expected to be in 2018 all across the country

Crappie are usually the first species to become active in early spring and when found, anglers can usually count on catching a lot of fish. As the days get longer and the water gets warmer, crappie move from deep water to the shallows to begin spawning.
