I caught a substantial number of crappie at Chick Lake the tail end of this week. I couldn’t find any of them really shallow and tried in the back of numerous coves and creeks. Most my fish came from around 5’ including in the creek channel or creek mouth and not a single one was fat with eggs. The smaller fish came from creek channels and I assumed these were males. The bigger fish (12” to 14”) were very dark and outside the creek mouth - were these darker ones males too? Water was 64 to 68. I’m really confused why none seemed full of eggs.
