Thread: Shearon Harris Report 4/1

I went Friday evening for a real quick trip and found a few in 17-20' of water in the middle of a cove. The fish were suspended at about 10'. Around dark when I was packing up I noticed several shad topping the water and bigger fish chasing them. Just for the heck of it I dropped a couple of minnows down about 2' and ended up catching like 6 small 4-5" crappie.

So I'm wondering if they have spawned? I'm rather new at crappie fishing this is the first year I've tried to track the spawn. I thought they spawned at 60 degrees so I'm confused as to what they are up to.

I believe there will be another waive moving in.

My understanding is that 65 is the magic number. I would venture to say that the majority have spawned out but there will be a few late ones that will continue over the next couple of weeks just not in the large numbers like during the peak. I haven't been catching very many that are still full of eggs. Others can chime in and correct me on the temp.
