I heard this on here a long time ago, and in my experience it is DEAD ON pretty much everywhere i fish
we all know crappies like to suspend, but at what level in the water column?
well, try this: take the water depth, divide it in half, and add a foot...that is how far down there are
example - 12 feet deep, crappies are 7 feet down, 5 feet off the bottom.
- seems to be true anywhere i find active schooling crappies.
