I went fishing at Shoal Creek and Town Creek (G'ville State Park area) this past weekend. I caught a lot of crappie for my standards (30+), but almost all were VERY small. The only good sized fish I caught were in deeper water. The areas that had some structure and were in shallower water 3-7 feet were covered up in small crappie, so I had a few questions.

1.) Do the smaller fish move into spawn first?

2.) Will the same areas that are holding smaller fish attract larger ones?

3.) When will the fish actually start making beds and lay eggs?

Any other help and info would be appreciated!
