    crappie don't always lay all their eggs and you find find eggs in them in september. they reabsorb the eggs into their system. my humble observations!

    That looks like a lot of eggs . Our fish have spawned out and the egg sacks are small. The males still have some dark color left and their tails are worn.

    I have caught a few with eggs lately. I was wonder if some of them were still spawning around here.

    Oregon crappie looking like that too a couple weeks ago, they haven't spawned yet IMO... But they are starting to. It may be a month or more before they are all done. They take turns and some spawn twice during the warm season. I wish them all a sensual spawn and a small fry summer.
    I have a jig with a face like this!:eek:

    Looks like she's pretty full of eggs, not like leftovers, I'd have to guess they're still spawning. No big surprise after the weird weather this spring - if it has humans confused, just think what it does to the fish!

    The ones I got this past weekend were full of eggs too and the males were DARK. We caught most of our fish in 3-4 FOW (shallow) around wood. To me, all these things together means the spawn is ON in NY.
