A high white blood cell count, called leukocytosis, may result from a number of conditions and diseases. Some examples include: Infections, most commonly caused by bacteria and some viruses, less commonly by fungi or parasites.
When water reaches in the 55-60 degree range, the males should be in shallow water looking and fanning out spawning beds, while the females stage out in the closest deeper water structures. Crappie feed more aggressively and baitfish are more active as spawning nears. Try dropping a minnow under a cork into the spawning beds for males. Use a cast and slow retrieve with a CULPRIT Paddle Tail grub for the deeper females. As a general rule, surface temperatures in the 62-65 degree range are almost perfect for shallow, spawning crappie. The females will then move in and around brushy cover.
Longer days and rising water temperatures will soon begin to trigger spawning activity among the crappie in your favorite waters. These tips will help you catch those slabs. Prespawn crappie are tough to figure out. Some days theyâre deep; some days theyâre shallow. One day they prefer minnows; the next they prefer jigs. Sometimes you canât buy a nibble; sometimes you catch âem one after another after another. Despite its complications, early-season crappie fishing is a great way to enjoy the outdoors.
