later than normal imo. i primarily fish farm reservoirs (60-80 acres or less) and every female i have caught still had eggs. crappie are usually on the banks now, but they remain in the deeper water. haven't caught a single crappie in the brush so far. a bud at church told me yesterday the fish are leaving the brush for deeper water in the very large reservoirs (100 acres plus) he fishes. who knows what is actually happening?
