The best depth for crappie fishing varies depending on a number of factors, from the conditions of the water to the time of season. Let’s break down the depths you can find crappie at seasonally:nnSpring (spawning season): 1-5 feet nSummer: 10-20 feet nFall: 10-15 feet nWinter: 15-25 feet and belownnDuring the spawning season, you can practically reach down and grab crappie with your hands - though they do try to conceal themselves by using structure as cover.nnThe conditions of the water are also relevant. When the temperature is above 50°F, and it’s not spawning season, you may still find crappie at ~1 to 5-foot depth if the water is murky and there’s lots of vegetation. In clear waters, however, they’ll hover around the 15-foot depth.n
