Thanks for the positive feedback everybody! I'm hoping to post much more short informative slide shows and some informative on the water video to help other anglers as I learn myself. Eventually I want to make a sonar video over identifying crappie on 2D sonar and (DI/SI) when crappie are not relating to structure and look like a Christmas tree with lights on lol.
I do not disagree with the controversial statements of when the crappie spawn actually occurs. It seems the more prevailing data is that they spawn based on length of day and it has nothing to do with water temperature at all. My temperature range was taken straight from In-fisherman's crappie books....I figured their numbers based on studies would be in the ballpark but again, temperature probably is soon to be an outdated prediction. I just didn't want to even go there in a short slide show haha. I probably will go back and make a note of this information and recommendations in the description because it is good information but wasn't sure how to even begin touching upon it in a slide show. Thanks for the feedback and I will make those changes!
How do you explain what happened about 4 years ago, when we had a cold front just about every week of March and April. Every cold front would push the females back out to deep water when the water temp dropped back down to non favorable spawning conditions.
Keep in mind that time of the year, each day, the length of day light gets longer. (Majority of the fish were not spawning with the increased daylight.)
Everyone I know was still catching spawning fish the first two weeks of June.
Just sharing what I have experanced personally here in North Texas.
Think about it.
