Awwwh yes, the crappie bite well in February. They can go crazy in March/April during the spawns, more so around full moons. Jigs with one of those glittery tiny marshmellow power baits works about as well as live bait. Slow up and down action around brush. That's good cause you want to feel where the underwater brush is without getting hung up. If one hits in a certain spot around the brush, try finding another crappie lie, then return to that previous spot in 5-10 min. Pay attention to how many (reel) rounds down they like to hit at. Generally, the spot (a favored fishing hole) has something going for it and other crappie will fill in for the caught crappie. Fillet 'em, pop 'em in the microwave with margarine, lemon-pepper, and or salsa. So good, you forget it might be healthy!
