Stubby was a guest on the show a couple weeks ago, talking about catching catfish but the lure of catching a big stringer of shallow water crappie is enough to make even the most devout catfisherman abandon his "baited holes" and catfish bait for a few days and head for the shallows!
The males are always the first to move into shallow water, followed by the egg-laden females. Depending upon which lake you fish, chances are good you can now catch crappie in the shallows that are in various stages of the spawn.
