I went out to Lewisville this morning. To the same spot where I limited the week before. According to the guys who were there when I arrived, there were plenty of limits hit there yesterday. And yet in five hours fishing I only took home five crappie from this spot today, all of which turned out to be males. Should I infer from this experience that the crappie in this spot have moved on to spawn?
Location Info: Creek, 20ft deep, 57 degree water temp, lots of timber.

57 degrees...i would infer that it is possible. however the males would be the first to move out t? of the males u cleaned did they have their sperm sacks developed yet? and of the females u have been cleanin lately, how did their egg sacks look? if theyre deep yellow w red veins all around em, and almost oozing...theyre ready...if not they probably have just moved to a staging area like most are right now

I only caught females yesterday in 20ft of water. Not a male among the eight I put in the boat. I suspect the females will be pre-stagging in 10ft of water within the next couple of weeks.

I have heard that there is a period of time in late February that the fish get very hard to catch/dissappear. I think that's what happening now. They are in transition... plus the moon has been full. The water has warmed 22 degrees in a week. I imagine they are in shock some. If the weather holds out they should be shallow soon.

I think we are rushing spring. I'm pretty mother nature has a couple more cold fronts in store for us. They will be on the beds soon enough.
