Nice catch.  I hope to get out later this week to a crappie lake I fished last fall.  I am seeing the bass bedding in my pond but have not seen any gill beds yet.  Are the gills in pre-spawn or have you seen them bedding?  Figuring the crappie are post spawn by now.

fishcharmmer:
Was back on the lake saturday got some crappie that's done and few still going with eggs plus gills fat and blown up with eggs times close!!!!!

Thanks for the reply.  Moved back to Mi last fall after a long time gone and into a new area.  Not sure the population of gills in the pond on the property we bought so I am going to try to get a rough estimate when they get on the beds.  Previous owner thought they may have fished them out but I caught and released a few last fall and had a few on the camera over the winter.  Bass numbers seem to be ok and size is decent so hopefully the gills are not hurting either.  going to head out to a few local lakes in the next couple weeks and do some learning and searching for some gills and maybe try for a few crappie also.
