Fascinating about the crappie females laying the eggs on structure and the males moving them. If he noticed it on several differing yearly spawns, it would seem to be genetically inclined
behavior. It would be interesting to know if he only saw it one population at one BOW.
I recall reports some years back about LMB spawning in the tops of submerged trees at Toledo Bend Resorvoir. This was reported by quite a few of the guides. I think it was during a severe drought when the lake had pretty well retreated to the river channel. Not sure about the conditions. I expect this is more common than the aberrant behavior of the crappie.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
