Both from what I've seen. White and black crappie still had eggs so did the perch. Any day now I expect a massive spawn. I have yet to see any crappie beds either.

Crappie fished all day in that darn wind! Glad I remembered to grab the big anchor today because it was a must have. Bite was slow, came and went in little spurts. Caught 27 total.17 keepers, 10 shorts. Anchor on the edge of the brush in 14-15' and cast into the brush in 8-13'. Thank goodness I had some weedless jigs because the crappie were hunkered down in the thick of it.. So difficult to feel a bite with 1/16 oz jigs and 15+ wind white caps. No telling how many fish bit and I didn't even know it. Was nice to dip up a few shallow after the wind quit late in the day. 

I kept a few for supper tomorrow. Have to eat some first before I can keep any more

Both. Suspended and on beds.  Some are dropping eggs and some are still staging

I understand.  It's hard for me to ignore a lay down log  or an isolated bush when there's a spinnerbait and squarebill tied on the rods sitting right beside me. I just can't pass that up.
