Very good info on the spawn I believe that we know very little about the spawn especially with each body of water. I read about a study done in a cove on a lake in Kentucky a few years back. A man kept count of how many crappie he caught in a years time with very little habitat in the cove, I think it was around 500 crappie. The next year he began to put brushpiles up and down the cove in deferent depths of water, he again kept count of how many crappie he caught that year, I think it was around 1500. So the one conclusion I have is that habitat helps your numbers and if your numbers are up your spawns will be sucessful. EB
