1. yep
2. How warm? You want it to be cold.... Then they school and spawn. Fish near shore.
3. Perfect temp right now... better hurry before it gets too warm though...
4. Just got back from crappie fishing in northern Indiana, water temp. at 62 degrees. Caught some real nice fish, they are starting to move in on the shallows. Try a small jig under a slip bobber, or a live minnow also under a slip bobber, good luck.
5. what lakes are you fishing? yes the waters are good for crappie right now and will only be getting better! the bite will be good up until just after the spawn then a slight drop after until the summer starts up then great time. right now look for them schooled up for the pre spawn out side edges of spawning flats near weeds in morning and evening during nice days schooling fish will be hangin out near deeper cover, breaks,drainages or open water. I will be hitting the edges of cover or structure in 8 to 14 foot of water in the mornings and as the warmer temp comes I move to deeper water and troll.If I find good numbers I will slip rig live minnow or a small jig!
