Thanks for that input. They were suspended over deep water. The warmer surface water's bring them up a little bit from the bottom where they would be normally during the winter months. This warm weather has had an effect on them

I watched a crappie fishing video produce by Bill Dance once. He was fishing with Roger Gant or Grant at Pickwick lake down south during the cold weather period. They said that the crappie will travel vertically along deep water bluffs. When it's warmer the rise vertically in the water column and then when it's colder they sink deeper in the water column. So that's what I thought they might do.

Your report confirms what Bill Dance said. So thanks for the feedback.

Glade you caught some fish and had fun.

I could get use to this warm winter weather. It sure beats snow and ice.
