I sit in on one of Todd H's seminars once and he said that Crappie spawn in waves. He told the crowd that not all Crappie move onto the banks at one time and that the "Spawn" can actually take a month or more to finish up. I tend to agree as I've caught females in the middle of May that still had eggs in them. It's not uncommon to catch males on the banks as late as June on Eufaula.

I have a suspicion that there have been at least one wave that has already spawned. I'm betting that this full moon coming up will trigger more spawning as I'm still catching some females with eggs.

I believe that the reason more people aren't catching the big numbers of Crappie so far is because the lake is down so much this year and people are having a hard time finding them on the banks. I have a theory that many are spawning out in the brush that is in deeper water.

Just my opinion, it's worth what you paid for it! Thumbs Up
