Anyone catching crappie?

How can you tell the difference?

Males are smaller, usually have milt sacks instead of eggs

 

[RamblinWreck]

Usually? LOL Males never have eggs. The males get dark during spawn due to hormones, the females are generally bigger, lighter color, and are about to bust a gut they are so loaded with eggs. I've cleaned enough is my lifetime to learn a few things, but I'm not a biologist.

Got in em this afternoon.

The first 1.5 hours seemed like it was gonna be a skunk fest then trolled over a spot that is normally a summer spot. Both rods went down, circled back, anchored, and coolered out quickly.

They didn't care the jig color once we found them.

Now I remember why I wanted an electric fillet knife. I got work to do.

Mmmmm, Tropicalia. Goes well with a crispy fillet and a hush puppy.

Where are y'all finding em at right now? Took my lil girl to oconee Saturday and caught some small ones. Nothing at all worth keeping. Not sure if I was shallow enough or not. All of the fish I caught were 6-9 foot trolling jigs and minnows
