Some are fretting missing out on the spawn . this happens every year and more this year obviously with the isolation stay at home rules . but before the rules became so stringent and the need to stay in so important the fish were already spawning .
some spots way better than others and some fish earlier than others like every year .
now I realize they spawn for many months and they come and go in waves each month ,but to be sure some of the fish have done their thing and wont be coming back to the bank this year .
I hit a spot a week ago in hopes of finding them good and it was really slow and I had to work hard to get bit . the female crappie were way off the bank and wore flat out .the males were off the nest by several feet and to make it even more apparent the deed was done at this spot I managed a highly colored up male bluegill in the crappie nesting area .
now mind you I speak in tongues and make everything up as I go as you know . but to be just as sure when I see a female crappie in the spring that looks beat to heck and skinny as heck with her tail all red and shredded, I know what has already taken place .
the spawn isn't over by far in lots of spots is my thoughts . but at that one its signed sealed and delivered as they say .
KABOOM is the word
