Sweet catch Mo. Hope you feel better 20 watt. I'm ready for some warm weather myself. I get the feeling that I'm going on about a 3 day darbonne binge starting Friday. This cabin fever and work stuff is for the birds.

We've got a cabin at the point the weekend of the 28th. Hoping it warms a little and some of those fat girls start showing up on the north end

Move into the campground one day the following week. Be there all month. With some warm temps I'll start testing it over the next week or so. I hope to see you over there.

I'm undecided yet as to whether I want to take a vacation week that first week of March or hold off a little longer

You said it. This weather has me second guessing everything. Hopefully the last two weeks of February we can get some warm nights. That's what hurts us, warm days and cold nights. But like said earlier, they are gonna spawn regardless.

I've said it before on here. It's like a woman being pregnant. The crappie have the eggs for a certain amount of time. When it's time they are going to lay most of their eggs whether the water is 60 degrees or 50 degrees. I talked to a man on Claiborne that lives there and he said they spawn on there EVERY year at 50-54 degrees. They will lay their eggs in deeper water if the temp isn't right, just making it harder for us to find them. They don't absorb ALL of their eggs in cooler water, because crappie would'nt be here from a long time ago. I feel they spawn on any waterway within 2 weeks of previous years because they are in a cycle. It's gonna happen within a certain time on every water in La. Each lake is going to be different. Down south usually goes before northern La and the smaller lakes and rivers do it before the larger ones. This comes because thru the years the water temp has gotten right at different times on different waterways and they have adjusting to when it is USUALLY right. So, if you have a cooler or hotter year, they still only have the eggs for a certain amount of time, just like deer rutting. Rut at my house peeks on Nov 27 and has for at least 30 years and the crappie spawn on Red River at Clarence starting the first 2 weeks of April and going on for about 2 months off and on (without fail and no matter what the water temp.) This isn't for sake of arguement. It's what I've seen and read. Some will disagree, but that's fine. They can go to Red River on the first warm snap and if it isn't at least the first 2 weeks of April, then they can waste alot of time up and down the bank. I'm not a biologist, but I'm also not an idiot that spent my time behind a desk making up what I think the crappie should do. I hope you can get something out of this Kman. I'm glad someone else is interested in this like I've been for decades.
