Crappie are found at all depths during winter depending upon the lake location, weather patterns and the movement of baitfish. However, the most common places to find fish are in the middle depths and deep water. Their deep-water homes are the most stable places for them to enjoy comfortable temperatures and plenty of food. Reaching these fish isn’t always easy. Getting a bait deep, keeping it there and moving into cover can be difficult. Having the right rig for the job will help you be more successful.
