Crappie Biting?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Crappie Biting?

Post by RiverBank »

Wondering if any crappie are biting in the lower Rideau Lake area yet? Any open waters within that area worthwhile trying? Normally i go mid April but hoping can get out sooner.

You still have 2 or so weeks untill they start. After that it's the beginning of a great season to come. :D

Correct....Crappie are still biting under the ice....so we still have 2 more weeks of icing giants before the bays warm up and a full on assault!
