STILL undecided ?

I would say yes ,but she swore to me on her death bed she was about to do it before the interruption ! :Rofl
the good news is she was well on her way to the "fall " spawn and was trying hard to keep that roe in place for a couple more months ! :Rofl
sure are a bunch of undecided fish in these parts and some really tattered up male fish trying to keep up with the are we doing this or not program ? :Rofl
pretty amazing they are still spawning well in lots of spots in north Texas this time of year .
one thing for certain , there will be a bumper crop of littles next season for sure .
high water and a rather long length spread out spawn equals the best of the best for crappie reproduction . :highfive
thought I saw some yella and just had to open her and have a peek .......looks like ....
the June spawn is right around the corner ,so stay tuned yawl :crazy:
KABOOM is the word :highfive

and i mean we have some real high water ....not kidding ...
AND lots of new boat ramps everywhere is the good news :Rofl

and the wild flowers are now aquatic vegetation in few spots as well :crazy:

the VERY BEST part is all the "new" docks to pitch up under ....
them picnic tables under them are a bit tricky though :yikes

no worries the corp closed that lake so the only boat on the water is a salvage and rescue rig ...
not much for wakes and jet skis this weekend over there i promise :biggrin

Wowser, that is some high water. Yea, picnic tables sound like a real challenge. some good lure hunting come low water?

i think that lake is around 8 to 9 foot high , but one of my other favorites is past flood stage and possibly maybe 10 foot or more high.
i saw it on a radar map as a red boxed in area that occurs when there is flash flooding ,

might be some emergency room visits if you dont realize there are hooks all over the place after the water gets that high .
there were folks set up with surf rods on the roads where they go off into the lake ,casting way out there .

The Red River is real high now but that is common this time of year. And some lakes are real high. But not like that. Although, that water is coming at me!

Fertilizing the fliid plain again. The wild flowers should grow better next year

Yeah, I've actually caught a Slab Crappie from under a concrete picnic table, years ago on a flooded KY Lake campground. :biggrin

And there's more rain coming.....

Ya some eggs sacks are still full here also as of yestdy..... Almost June.....

saw a pile yesterday on my friends cleaning table and half were males and half were females and it is normally hard to tell the difference at the end of May

Might it have gotten too hot, too quick, and these egg laden ladies have simply given up on the deed ... but just haven't started absorbing them, just yet ?? :scratchhead

I know, around here, the weather extended the spawning period by several weeks .... and even some fish species I've caught over the last few weeks, that should have spawned already, were still carrying eggs. And we were still catching males close to the banks, though even they have greatly diminished in numbers in recent trips.

it might be like the cactus thing out west ,the Sagauro have lost their minds , blooming in an effort beyond comprehension out of season .
not sure why ,but the weather changes we are encountering daily are not the norm from back when .

I saw that and read the article. That is an amazing event. Botanists think they have really been stressed. Around here, the bedding on the creek is really off in all the usual locations. We have had a cold and pretty dry spring. With recent rain my local creek right now is rip roaring, so once it settles it will be interesting to see if it triggers a spawn.

probably stressed out over Covid and the weather extremes at the same time :dono
