    Friends, it is my first spawn. Water is about 60. I am anxious to get in on the spawn action and put the hammer down in skinny water.

    Tried a few spots yesterday and couldn’t find anything in the shallows. Put my jig in some woody timber by the bank and worked around a few cuts and coves. After an hour or so with no hits, I decided to change techniques.

    Went to various docks and picked off a few fish here and there at moderate depths throughout the day. End of the day, I bagged 7. Talking bout KABOOM y’all.

    Of these fish, only one was a male wearing his tux and there were a couple that were either beginning to show, or go back the other way. Only one female had eggs and I’m no scientist, but I’d wager a couple were females without.

    My question, does this mean the spawn is most likely halfway gone? OR, is it possible it is just beginning?

    Best,

      From the looks of the fish bellies its over. Or those are all males. I never could tell the difference.

      What state are you in? And more than likely they haven’t started yet. In my experience they usually get started once the water hits 65. Black crappie will start a little sooner. With the water being only 60 degrees, most are probably still in a prespawn/spawn staging phase. There might be some males moving shallow here and there but those big females are probably still in deeper water.
