Blackbirds spawning in the dead of night

spread your pretty lips at very first light ….
I been impatiently waiting for this moment to arrive :Rofl
They were not on beds last week in the jungle .
They were set up on those jungle beds yesterday morning though .
Seems all our local crappie both Black and White decided on March 1 its time to dance :Rofl
Some are dressed a bit for the prom and some not so much .
right tight to the bank and in typical spawn fashion were the fights .
no lethargic crappie right now for sure .
got my line broke once .
lost a real nice one trying to get it over the tall grass .
the lil orange twin tail was deadly and I kinda knew in advance it would be .
one thing for certain ,its a challenge to cast into the jungle and take out a not so happy about it fish :crazy:
in the end is it true you ask ….
YES it is ...KABOOM is the word :highfive

Great pics and report. Much appreciated!

Nice to see those dark colored fish. Spawn is still a couple of months away here. Can't wait.

Going to search tomorrow. Big storm and lots of rain passing through today. Not sure of the effect but going anyway.

Putting the hammer down on some nice ones :fish. You using livescope ?

They were in the slips all day yesterday. A few were starting to show color and a few were heavy females. Most were keepers but all but three were under 13". It was a fun day from 6:30 am till 8:00 pm when I finally said enough is enough. I'm taking a rain break today and am only starting at 4:30 pm. :Rofl

Been asked by the powers that be not to give permission to fish my dock so the number granted that permission will be limited to personal friends. Marina management is again actively chasing away those who don't have a slip on that dock. I don't envy them that chore as this dock will be mobbed now that the crappie are starting to show up there in numbers. The rock wall behind the dock is a favorite spawning area of my favorite fish.

Most boats on this dock are cabin cruisers and houseboats whose owners don't want fisherman bothering them trying to fish their slips.

The mobs are not in invited ? How cool is that ?
Silly me thunk I ran em off with my less than friendly greetings :Rofl

They did not have much luck controlling it last year so I doubt they will have better luck this year. But I will follow the wishes of those who don't want me to invite many people to fish my slips.

thank goodness I don't often get classified as "to many people" …..:Rofl

my club on home lake put xmas trees next to my toon and one in next slip but nothing but bugeye's so far have come off of them. hopefully a year later will get some action especially when it's spawning time. we won't start having the run till april in MO into may.

Be hard to classify you that way since you did most of the condo building work for those slips. With adequate supervision by SK, H and myself, of course. :Rofl

Man did your pontoon pile have a load in it at lunchtime, I called you and texted you ?
