Lake Houston Fishing!

The shad are moving up river and the bayou and the crappie are
right behind them. Get those long lines out and the road runner
heads. water temp 63 .

Water at 63, do you think there's any spawn action right now?

Caught 25 at byou bridge today by ponderosa

25 shad? That's pretty good for one throw of the cast net! har har


...I'll see myself out now

I've heard some crappie will drop eggs in late fall. High 50 to low 60 degree water temp triggers it.

I have cleaned a lot of crappie here in the last few weeks and none of them
have much roe in them.

I think it happens a lot longer than some think but I don't think they'll start this early.....but who knows....

I have caught some white bass that have had semi-soft to nearly fully formed eggs in them in the late fall...but was told that the eggs needed the cold temperatures to 'activate'. If the waters never got cold enough, the fish would either not spawn and reabsorb the eggs, or the eggs would be rendered sterile and the spawn would fail.

Maybe it's the same for crappie? People start catching them shallow again in the fall, find some evidence of roe forming and begin a "crappie spawn in the fall too" narrative??
