Start fishing for the early and late winter crappie in water close to their spring and fall positions. They will be near structure just outside of these areas.
If you caught lots of crappies off of a point in 3 to 4 feet of water, see if there is a drop-off into 15 feet of water. You will probably find some fish here. In
the middle of winter, follow that drop-off into water that is deeper than 20 feet and you'll have a good chance at finding crappies.
To help you find fish over a large area, tip-ups can be used. Once you find a good hole, drill other holes in the same area. Fishing with small minnows
rigged with a split shot, hook, and bobber will take the most crappies throughout the year. Anglers will use small jigs and jigging spoons, however, live
bait will catch more fish consistently. Try tipping your jigs with small crappie minnows and wax worms for the best results.
