Are Crappie spawning at LOZ?

[dandomo1]

Does anybody know if the crappie are starting to spawn near the Niangua Arm part of the lake? I am not going down to the lake until next Thursday and hoping I am not to late for good fishing.

They'll be there when you get here if all the rain don't jack the water up too bad.

local radio here is sayin 5 to 9 inchs of rain between now and next wensday. WOW

I cant help but think that will have some sort of an effect. Might have to fish in 4+ FOW to find the beds if the lake comes up!

The only thing that might push them back to the shallows is the water will be like choclate milk. What do yall think?

been up at Larry R.Gale access the last 2 days ,caught alot of fish but not much on size,biggest maybe 11 in..males are real black,some females eggs are ready to go and some seems like a week or two away.Best time is late in the day on the banks.

That's way more than we need but i have seen it when the muddy water moved em shallower during the spawn but it does take a few days for them to adjust.

5 to 9 inches of rain that is just crazy, i live in st.charles i guess the rivers will be roaring after that!

If the water gets that muddy, gonna have to break out the nibbles. Or God forbid, the minnows
