shortdraw,

Since the reservoir water temps moved so quickly from the mid-50's to the low 70's so quickly this year the length of preferred crappie spawning temps was very short. Those fish you are seeing with the grey colored eggs likely skipped the spawn this year and are reabsorbing the eggs. Strange spring this year, for sure.
