I have been catching a lot of catfish in the spots I usually catch spawning crappie at. Im wondering if this is a sign that the spawn is close, or do they spawn at the same time??????
Thy will be done

I'm with ketchin. I think they come eat the eggs and fry of other spawning fish. I too have caught a bunch of blues and channels during the white bass spawn. I used to trotline(in the rivers) for big yellow cats and late march and may seemed to be the best. Good luck and don't poke yourself when cleanin them cats www.thecrappieking.com

carp get thier share of the eggs also. eveything is trying to eat everything else it seems.
COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach
