Thread: What is the latest you find eggs in a Crappie ?

I just figured your fish would have already spawned around the same time as ours, if not a little earlier.

Lake I was fishing , normal to see them spawning later than any lake I fish .

I’ve always heard biologists say to avoid stocking them in farm ponds because they spawn most of the year and are very likely to over populate.

Yes White . Most should just be starting to form new egg sack . But the lake this one is deep and spawn usually late and spread out . Many Crappie never expel all their eggs but reabsorb remnants .
