Looks like spawning fish to me, the first wave are certainly doing their thing. Nice catch and report, lots of Crappie being caught right now.
Here is a quick summary of the last few trips:
On 03/29 we started in spawning area and picked up a few and then hit a few docks, wound up keeping 11 with the biggest being 14" and the overall quality of what we caught was good. We probably threw back another 10-15, I caught more on docks and structure.
I fished again on 04/07 I started a little late (8:00AM and quit just before 11) and the spawn was in full swing - the males had on their tuxedos and anywhere I caught one fish I would pick up 4 or 5 more, I did not keep any fish but did actually keep count this time - I caught 15 keeper size fish in just a couple hours and caught around 20 keeper size when I stopped just before 11am - the biggest was just over 14" and quite a few over 12" - overall a very fun morning.
I took a friend from work on 04/10, he wanted some crappie to eat, we started at daybreak and fished until just after lunch and kept 26. The biggest was 13" and the fish were more scattered than 04/07 and the males were not as dark as a few days earlier. Out of the fish he cleaned only one still had eggs and the rest just had the yellow dye. We also picked up a few in spawning areas but we caught more on docks and structure.
We were using various BG jigs with 1/32 or 1/24oz heads each day and here are a few picks:
The first pick is from 04/10, the second is from 03/29, and the third and fourth are from 04/07.

Nice looking slabs.
Good Job!
'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me... Matthew 11:4-6
Good job! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like fun days on the water !!
