Eggs in the fall.
Went this past weekend to Sardis. I noticed a lot of the fish I cleaned had a nice egg sack. Yellow with red blood vessels. Was just wondering if these are eggs in production for spring or will some spawn in the fall? You hear people say fall spawn but I feel more like these females take awhile to produce eggs through winter with low metabolism and cold temps. Any thoughts??

As soon as they spawn they start building new eggs. Takes all summer fall and winter for them to get ready for spring spawn. Yes in the deep warm south if all weather conditions are right you can once in awhile have 2 spawns in a year but that's rare.

If it did happen, I bet the spring spawn would eat them up as fast as they hatched. Bet the survival rate would be close to zero.
Tell'em I'll be there.
