Well Phil every year when the crappie move in shallow and the males color up, the weather warms then turns cold and windy driving them to deeper water.. this happens over and over till I guess they give up and absorb the eggs. I only catch 8-9� crappie, never have seen any smaller ones or caught them. Not saying they didn�t spawn but I can�t see any recruitment at all. LMB every spring there are tons of YOY.....
