Thread: The Spawn on LoZ? What gives?

Are these fish ever going to spawn or is it over? Hard to believe the spawn is done already with so many sows still full of eggs and hanging out in the deeper water off the banks. I couldn't catch anything shallow on the Glaize this weekend. Another guy I know said they did well catching nice crappie on crankbaits in 20-30' of water on the Gravois arm. Most of them were sows with eggs. That sounds more like a summer pattern instead of a spring pattern. My graph showed water temps between 63-70 degrees Saturday evening and that should be ideal for spawning, right?

If they don't move shallow to spawn after a week of 80 degree highs and 60 degree lows, does that mean it's over with and the sows with eggs just aren't going to spawn? It has me perplexed and I'm just curious as to what the experts with more crappie knowledge think about it.
