Good report and nice catch, congrats. I would say that you were catching male crappie.
I went yesterday after the weather looked like is was going to be better then they had originally said. I got on the water at 6am and went to one of my favorite holes, the water temps were back down to 54.5° after getting up to 57.8° in our warm snap. They were there and had the feed sack on, I was in 12' of water fishing about 8' deep. I had two minnow rods out and then was jigging with one hand. In a little while it was getting a little hectic so I cut back to one minnow pole and jigging. I was using a chartreuse little 1 1/2" guppy type body on a 1/16 Gamakatsu jig head. I never moved and ended up with 50, I had a couple of 14" ones but mos were 9-12". By 9am the wind got up and I had a mess so I headed to the house. I took one picture of them in the cooler and put out some of the larger on my cleaning table to take another picture and the battery was dead in my camera. The one question I have is when I cleaned them I noticed none of the larger fish had any egg sacks, only the smaller ones, do you think some could have dropped their eggs in our little warm spell or that all the bigger I caught were males? The fish were up in a couple foot of water 2 weeks ago.
