I have just read a post from birdman who just got back from sippi and he said the crappies was having eggs come out of them when he was landing them.
Curious to what your opinions are on the effects a cold & late spring will have on crappie fishing this year? Have black crappie started spawning on Kentucky Lake yet? They must be about ready to bust.

Lets go soak a line. Pat
They sure are ready. Just need some sun shine and warmer temps. They are about to bust they so full. They are moving shallow in a lot of places because of the soltices of the sun is telling them it is time. I'm just afraid we may loose a lot this year if they start laying them in this cold. Not a expert by any stretch of the imagination but seems a lot wouldn't hatch.

they have been like that here as well in NY. For about a month they have been bloated and full of eggs. Last year at this time outside temps were in the 70-80's and this year total opposite, only highs of 40 and lows of 20's. Most of our lakes are still cover with ice in center ,but shorelines are shot. Need about a week of warm to get the shorelines open more. Cant wait on jury duty right now, but bring on the slabs.
