Timing The Spawn

[mgrimm]

Here is the deal: the blacks show up first. They usually start when the water temp reaches about 59 degrees and higher. Whites show up somewhat later, usually when the water temp hits around 62 degrees. Anyone that says blacks and whites don't use the same general areas to spawn is full of bull. When the water muddies up, I catch more whites. When the water is clear, I catch more blacks.

The reason I say "when the water begins to rise" on KY lake is more likely than not April 1. The water temp is usually in the above range, so rising waters to summer pool is an excellent indicator here on Ky Lake.

Thank you Cane pole for the info. Sauger fishing is my main addiction, but the Ohio river stays so jacked up anymore we didn't get to go hardly at all this year so I've turned to crappie fishing and I'm trying to learn all I can about them.
