WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MALE BLACK CRAPPIE ARE ON THE BED GUARDING THE EGGS OR FRY AND WATER TEMPS DROP DRASTICALLY?
Do they stay with the bed or abandon it? Last Sun. and Mon. black males were on their beds and were on guard. Some of them would just push the jig out of the bed and return to their post over the bed. Some of them would actually hit the jig, but very softly. The water was so shallow that you could see them.
Today you could see the beds, but there were no fish around them.??????????????????
