Found eggs

[silverside]

I was very surprised to clean a crappie that was full of eggs. This was July 3rd. Water surface was 81°. The fish was shallow just like a spring spawn. July is late for this area. I know they don't all spawn in the same window but this is a first for me. Just scratching my head and wondering why.

I think the spawn in SE PA was running late this year. Cold temps and flooding type rains probably wiped a lot of the early bedders out.

That maybe it Bob. Didn't think of that.
