some of the black crappie have allready spawned, as I have been catchen them with spawn, and with the(Males)Gaurding the nest are hangen in there. but the lake has three basen's. as the main lake stay's the coldest temp. To make it simple the spawn or better part of it is going to be spot on pretty dern soon! But i dont know it and dont claim to,its all up to the wheather, and i'd b fishen wright now! Good luck Biginv. !!
