at the lake i hit yesterday
the fish are way past done dropping eggs
the males have ZERO color
and most of the fish look pretty tired
of course elsewhere they still haven't done it
amazing the amount of variance in the spawn every year
keep in mid they eat 24 7 365 and just because they are not spawning means diddly
it was slack line festival at the spot i hit in ft worth
good times for sure
a big number of toad fish got to play lets go ketchn on my lunch break
KABOOM yawl

That's a NICE'UN.....
That's crazy they are done there while down south I'm still catchn males that are putting a hurt'n on anything that get in their face and they are suited up......
I will say the males do seem to not be as aggressive this year some of the time and then like on a switch nothing can get close to them.....
This was yesterday......
Still catching slabs on Palestine with eggs
NOW THAT IS FUNNY ! :RoflQuote:

but the big herds of 1.25 and ups are long done here when we see that
mind you this though , some lakes are different and sometimes one end is a lil festival
and a week later a spot that hasnt seen a short water fish this year on the other end of the lake ,will light up good with fat fish
terribly unpredictable is the spawn
i aint seen a good colored up one in a week or so ,maybe longerQuote:

ketched a few males the other day that had nothing going on when i boated them
and they turned in the livewell , but they didnt get real dark ,just noticeably male :dono
West Texas is bout 50/50 spawned out vs full of eggs. Strange year to say the least.
this is the strategy of the crappie during reproduction .Quote:

I saw color in the few I caught yesterday. One was a large male caught a few feet from the rocks. I only fished for an hour yesterday and did not fish today due to the weather.
they came back in on several lakes i hit this last week , go figure
sure are spreading it out this year
