The fish are typically pretty shallow this time of year. With each passing front they will move up and back. A good cold snap can run them back deep for several days. In April they should be in brush along the bank. When the fish are shallow I like to fish small jigs (Hal fly's, Jelly Bellies, Twisters) under a float (18 inches), cast to the brush and logs and use a slow retrieve.

Temps have been in the high seventies and low eighties the past few days, but thursday, friday, and saturday temps are going to drop to highs in the low 50's. I have some christmas trees I sunk this past winter in about 10 feet of water. Would you say a Crappie minnow amongst them will produce?
