Great article and of course all answers lead to more questions, the one that seems to be getting to me the most right now is 'how much does changing weather effect the spawn?'. When crappie are on the bed and the weather changes do the abandon the bed and move deeper to rebed? What prompts these questions is finding fish on the bed last week, wind blowing from the east, fish biting, wind changed to the north east temp. dropped a few degrees and the fish are GONE, unstable weather has put me in the search mode.--shu

PS thanks again for a great article and i too can smell a book coming.
