Crappie typically spawn in the spring when water temperatures reach around 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit (15 to 21 degrees Celsius). This usually occurs from late March to early June, depending on the geographical location and climate conditions. During this time, you can find crappie moving into shallow waters, often near structures like brush piles, fallen trees, or rocky areas, where they create nests.

To target spawning crappie effectively, consider using light tackle and small jigs or minnows. Fishing in the early morning or late evening can yield the best results, as crappie tend to be more active during these times. Additionally, look for areas with a lot of cover, as crappie will often seek refuge there while spawning.
