Tube man is right. Even though the first couple three weeks of April are considered prime for the spawn, crappie can be caught well into early and sometimes mid-summer. I believe sometimes the spawn is overated. The fish are scattered along the banks and have spawning on their minds, lake levels flucuate, cold fronts come through every three days, etc. The pre-spawn and post-spawn have fish tighter together and often for me give me better numbers.
