NWS indicates memphis had 3rd coolest April on record. I’m sure that’s true for most of the immediate area. Why I say spawn is far from over.

Everything seems to be about in line from what little I know. Think we put to much emphasis on spawn times, water temp, air temp, moon phase, barometric pressure, what hat we are wearing that day etc. These fish going to do their thing when they think it's the right time, not the weatherman or the fishermen, if crappie read CDC then they would be appalled :Rofl
I agree Snubby . we just need to go . I truly believe it is a new game each and every day . the spawn will happen for the next month at least . The main time may have or may not have already come , but is or has happened or will be happening for next few weeks . Crappie fishing should be fun . I had a great day yesterday not because of the fish we caught because i was fishing with my brother . The fish would laugh at all the money we spend and all the gadgets we try . Some work and some I am not sure of . i believe we have another day to fish spawn or not . I can hear them laughing .
The one's I catch tomorrow, I'm just gonna flat out ask them the truth about it! :)Quote:

Attachment 300263This is the 3 females from Friday
23 females yesterday @ Sardis. All completely spawned. Only fish the past week or so I’ve seen still holding large egg sacks, have been bigger fish over 16”.

Hahahaha. Feelay, if I landed a crappie over 16", it'd scare me so bad I'd jump out of the boat. I've caught some a few males this year between 13.5 and 14, and they were monsters. Looks like I'm going to have to put up the waders and get in the boat.
A 16 incher would be worth getting wet for.
You ain't kidding. If I had a fish that big, I'd have to slap them fillets on the grill. Those suckers would be steaks!
Y'all ain't fishing enough. sixteen inch fish isn't all that uncommon.
I gotta take offense to that! Man, I fish all the time. Now...if you argue that I'm not fishing *right*, I'll bow to your superior knowledge in such things.
I think they are afraid of my red boat.
They ant skerd of a red boat.... mine is red to hahaQuote:

Perfect. Because I've caught more short fish this year than ever before. Not complaining. Just wondering where the bigger fish have been hiding.Quote:

Yep, lots of shorts. Going to be a good year. If you fish shallow, you’re going to catch the fish that are still spawning. I don’t fish shallow, so most fish I’ve been catching have done their thing.

Went to deep water myself yesterday and fished about 8 feet deep. No dept finder. Water probably 20-35 feet deep. Caught 7 fish. All females w eggs. Fishing dead trees. I figure 1 fish per hundred trees I fished. [emoji4]
