Thread: headed to POST spawn ALREADY ????

this post was to point out the unpredictable nature of the spawn and when and why and etc that occurs .
most fish locally are either starting up and or in some cases trying to race in and seal a deal first round .
many crappie fisher folks have very little understanding of how these fish reproduce .
they wave spawn and almost all the female fish will come in and lay eggs several times .
this in turn is why as a species they are so prolific .
KABOOM is still the word

Kind of like the whitetail rut. Always some early and some late. Kind of protects the species/age class that way it seems.

with the crappie its about if one don't take the next one or possibly the one after will .
with the unpredictable water/weather conditions in the spring it gives them a better chance to have a successful hatch.
with whitetails it is similar but more of it is due to buck doe ratio and the ages of the yearling does in the herd as well .
one thing for certain with mother nature never say never ....
