When do crappie fish start biting in Georgia?

The first lake to catch good numbers of fish is at lake Jackson. the second lake to turn on is sinclair. the best is left for last and that's oconee. i fished sinclair on 01- 10-08 and caught just a few fish but my partner fished in the crooked creek area and they caught and released over 200. i also fished tobosofkee on 01-12-08 and caught 5 stripers and one crappie. i am trolling now but had rather shoot docks when the fish move up shallow.
Normally, in February they begin to feed heavily in anticipation of the spawn.
