Members Fishn' Addict Posted May 6, 2015 Members Posted May 6, 2015 Put in at CC this morning and fished toward turnback. Picked up 9 keeper Crappie on chunk rock bank in 8-12 fow. 5 of the 9 were females, 3 were spawned out and 2 were carrying eggs ready to go anytime. It looks to me like they are getting busy but not on the banks.... curious to know if anybody else thinks so too. Sac River Jim 1
Aggressor1988long Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Looks like your getting males confused with females.females not even moved up this year look like two females on stringer
Members Fishn' Addict Posted May 6, 2015 Author Members Posted May 6, 2015 Aggressor I'm definitely no expert and still learning alot about crappie fishing. I didn't do a very good job of laying the Crappie out for the picture and you can easily see those two females on the top but there are a couple more females on the bottom and they were not carrying eggs.
Aggressor1988long Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Some has spawned wasn't saying anything bad, trust me its gonna get real good for about a week after this warm rain. Good luck and it ,it hard after this weekend.

Members Fishn' Addict Posted May 6, 2015 Author Members Posted May 6, 2015 yes I definitely plan on getting out after this rain comes through. good luck to you too.
Members Ranger Dave Posted May 7, 2015 Members Posted May 7, 2015 Looks like your getting males confused with females.females not even moved up this year look like two females on stringer How can you tell if they are males or females just by looking? Is there something obvious?
Members Fishn' Addict Posted May 7, 2015 Author Members Posted May 7, 2015 Ranger Dave at this time of year the males are usually darker in color than the females and that's how you can distinquish them just by looking, I'm usually pretty good at doing so but I know for sure when I cut them open by the two long white sacs the males have on the inside.
Members Bucksbybow Posted May 7, 2015 Members Posted May 7, 2015 All my crappie have been females with eggs for the most part. I did witness some crappie spawning activity this morning. On the other hand, all the white bass I caught at CC were males and the whites from HP have been mostly females with eggs.
Members Xraydude Posted May 7, 2015 Members Posted May 7, 2015 Common guys tell him the truth. Ranger Dave - I use 2 things. An hourglass figure and the eyes. If they give you a squinty "I'll kill ya if you go fishing again!!" That's a female.
