Late spring?
Had an old friend ask if i'd get him some crappie for supper.......like I needed a reason to go fishing. This morning I headed out for the spillway below the Barren River dam and fished a few eddies that are favorites of mine. Armed with some 1/32 chartreuse cabin creek jigs, pearl metal flake tails, and an 1-1/2" bobber set about 6 foot, I went toe to toe with the river and started slinging. Got started around 7:00am and finished up about 10:00am and had caught my friend and his bride 6 crappie, 10" and better. Went home and filleted them out and believe it or not, they all still had the eggs in them and looked ready to pop. 1 or 2 maybe, but all six? Do you think it may be because of the late spring? Am I getting old and forgetful or is this normal?
Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer!
