Species context
Why this score
Poor (25/100) for Black Crappie: water is estimated at 45.7°F, below Black Crappie's 72-77°F optimal range. This is a day-level estimate beyond the hourly forecast horizon, so there's no single best hour to break down.
When best caught
It's currently fall. Black Crappie typically hold 0-10 ft deep this time of year — at an estimated 45.7°F, this looks like a slower time of year to target them, since water temp is outside their optimal range.
