a few of them had already spawned out but most were still full of eggs. i had two of them that released some eggs as i was pulling them in the boat. most of the crappie i caught were black crappie. I use bass pro crappie line that is camo colored. it is a mixture of green, red, blue and clear line. i always use 4lb test line so that when i hang up i can easily break off without spooking the fish too bad. Has anyone heard of the crappie bite on bull shoals in the diamond city area?
