I have heard several reports that the spawn is over and the crappie have started moving out. I totally disagree with this. For the past couple of days I have cought several crappie by dipping minnows next to trees that were no deeper than 3ft. I have also cought several long line trolling in 3 to 5ft of water and gotten some big slabs. Most of these crappie were female and still had big sacks of eggs. Some may have finished their business but most are still spawning.
