Bring water and two tablespoons of old bay seasoning to a boil
Boil 1 to 1.5 lbs of crappie meat for 3 minutes (refrigerate for at least an hour if possible). Crappie should be white and falling apart.
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional
1/2 Cup Chopped Green onion
1/2 Cup panko Bread Crumbs
Preheat the broiler.
In a large bowl, combine the egg yolk, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire, green onion, mayonnaise, and parsley. Then, gently fold in meat (be careful not to break up the lumps, here you will be adding in the CHILLED crappie). Sprinkle on bread crumbs and lightly mix. Shape into cakes and broil for 5 minutes (or air fry). Or sautee in pan with butter or olive oil. Sometimes make them silver dollar sized for apps. Feeds 3 to 5 adults.
ONCE YOU TRY THIS A FEW TIMES, IT'S EASIER TO MAKE. BOILING THE FISH THE DAY BEFORE CUTS THE WORK IN HALF. ADJUST THE INGRIDENTS TO YOUR TASTE. ADD OR OMIT ANYTHING YOU LIKE.
You need to copy this into the recipe forum for future reference. Sounds amazing!
The fish are biting and there's hogs to be kill-t. Gotta go!
As the days get longer the fish know its time to do their thing and they head that direction. In my area they usually spawn in waves from March through May often tied to the full moon. That said I'm the wrong person to be chiming in about spawning crappie! I hate fishing the spawn!
Thank you sir,I have kin around grenada lake in mississipi,headed that way nxt month

Thanks for the insight!! Is it better to fish during a full moon then?
I agree, fish WHENEVER you can. I haven't been fishing since before Thanksgiving last year. Then both my boys and I got the Flu. I just had a mild relapse, I assume the prescription didn't knock mine completely out. Hopefully the steroid the doc gave me will. I feel good enough that I hope to give it a try tomorrow or Sunday. Hopefully the wind will cooperate.

I was thinking about this today. Last year I went with RiverRat1 on the Colorado in March I believe but he said February is typically great. I guess I better get the poles ready
I have my boat here just waiting... But river is too low. Would have to launch 10 miles down on the Lake and drive up.
I'm still try-n ti figure out where the hole is for the corn to go into the livescope. I'ma guess-n it goes through the cable. And is dispensed through the transducy thing under the boat? And this is what makes the crappie come? SMH!
Anyone care to help a fly fisher out with Crappie and bass around central Texas? I have a canoe, and a lot of experience catching everything BUT crappie and white bass. If I want to hit a creek and put some fish on a stringer do I need to wait for some warmer weather? More water in the creeks? I'm assuming they're like lake/sea run trout, that move once the spawn is close, or when the water comes up?
And if it's pre spawn, what habitat should I target? Got a rule of thumb on minimum water depth? Focus on brush? None of the above?
Don't fish the lakes as i don't have a boat. But my crappie at the farm are going to be better this year than any other. We have 4 lakes that I have stocked with Black Crappie 5 years ago. 3 times a year I put 20 pounds of minnows in each pond along with some small bluegill. a couple weeks ago I went out and jigged some form the bank and caught 10 in 15 minutes. they were right at or over a pound. My biggest one is 2 pounds and I caught several just under. Its been fun trying to keep the numbers up while letting them grow.
