The amount of sunlight hours plays a large role as well.

Just checking cause there's been a report and another verfied account of Crappie Spawning in a Oxbow lake from LAST WEEK

How does one go about verifying a crappie spawning?

I ain't even going to ask that

Someone just agreed they were is all. I had heard they'd absorb the eggs back into their body if they didn't spawn. I got a couple messages out right now trying to check things out

Duck = YAHOO. what ya gonna do about it hehe

I have been catching a few fish already starting to form egg sacs. Spawning was done long ago, even in Minnesota.

I knew it had but when I find a report, I want to check things out. How kewl would that be to find Crappie Spawning in the bushes in August?

You can find them in the bushes at butla right now, but they ain't spawning, they's hidin from the sun.

Maybe they were just fooling around DD, and not actually spawning. You know, holding fins and whatnot.
