Terry,
Dangit, now I got to put my crappie rods back in the boat!
Great catch and you called it. Those would be good in a fish fry Sat. night. I can bring some fixxins if you want.

I get quite a few still unspawned crappie into late May and or even early June in southern Ohio every year. I know you guys a re a little farther south but not that much.

Memorial Day weekend would be the earliest I could shake free & that's if my wife doesn't come up with something for me to do.

As a rule by this time most all the crappie are spawned out. In those 10 females 2 were Blacks. You NEVER see Blacks with eggs around here this late! I have caught fish with eggs this late before but it was Whites & 1 here 1 there. This was over 50% of my catch!

Oddest year I've ever seen! Last year our water temp was bump'n 80 by now. The mouth of the bay I caught these in yesterday was 65/66.

Glad you're over the fever Brad, I'm still not.

I know everything I saw with eggs late up here were whites. And your right, this is an odd year.
All these lakes had been a yo-yo early then they went up and stayed that way. I'm hoping by next week I'll be able to fish my home lake, I haven't been on it since March.
Everyone's still wearing jackets...come on, it's mid May.
