I know most times the crappie here spawn near the bank, but would anyone know about where they spawn is Mississippi? The water down there is always muddy and I've been told they will spawn in the middle of the lake as most of them are shallow. No light gets though that water as you can only see a jig maybe 6" down and there really isnt any gravel to speak of. I'd ask this on the MS site, but they don't have an ask the biologist thread. Is it all about water temp that makes the eggs hatch?
