Probably not this late in the game. Here is a link to a thread last year even earlier than this in which Paul Rister talks about the fish out deeper still with eggs. I cleaned some last week that were definitely post spawn.

I would say that they will spawn when everything lines up to tell them to do so. Remember, we have had over 2 straight weeks of very high currents pulling cold run off rains. And weeks of the same high current pulling thru the lakes before the high water event. To me this very similar to a refrigerate line keeping the core temps lower than normal. The very top of the water column was warming as everyone was and is looking at their temps on the fish finders and reacting to that versus reacting to the fish and where they are.
Everything is running a month behind. I have spoken to several people about this, even Adam Martin, and the new moon is on the 15th, so watch for a huge push from there all the way to Memorial Day weekend.
The holiday should be buffet of fishing with bass, crappie and gills and crackers doing their thing.

We caught limits of fish on the banks for two days only four weeks ago. The water temp was 56, then another cold front come in dropped the water temp down 54 we continued to catch fish but no where near a limit. Blacks and whites, prolly a few more whites. I think all the fish there were gonna do it are done.......

I really hope I am wrong and y'all get the big wave your waiting for and post pictures of coolers full all month. I know they don't all spawn at once but there have been fish caught shallow for several weeks by some and from what I have seen I just don't see a big push unless it's in the next few days. It doesn't amount to a hill of beans to me, I don't ever fish for fish spawning on the banks. Just because fish are full of eggs still doesn't mean they are going to spawn. What I saw last week was about half that had eggs that still looked viable and half that had started to turn already. I am betting over the next week to ten days you see these females egg sacks start to turn beige/grey as they start to absorb them. I catch fish this time of year every that do, they don't all get to drop all their eggs every year.
