black crappie will start spawn at 54 -60 white crappie at around 63 - 65 yeah it taks 5 - 7 days but if the temp drops suddenly the males bail out and the eggs wont hatch. it the water drops dam our luck !! jm2cw
was talking to Ship today,(we learned alot) and the discussion of the lakes dropping and the spawn, now I told Ship I thought it would not hurt the spawn if they dropped the lakes , I was thinking it took about 3 to 5 days for the crappie to hatch, 5 days if the water is below 65 or close to that, and 3days if the water temp is arround 65 or so... was I way off or in ya'll learned opinions was I close,,, any thought

As Beagle said, this really concerns me. The only good thing is they can't drop Table Rock to fast as to potect the Branson new expansion. It's (Rock) been going down at around 0.5 to 0.75 ft per day until it rains and then it will go back up aways. They aren't letting much out of Stockton. We need to cross out fingers Guys!! Later, Ship
Hope they hold the water in stockton for a bit .Will help the fish.
