Have the Crappie started moving shallow in the mid lake area?

Man on the south end I'd say it's just now right in the middle of it (some in post, some in pre, some on beds). Guys were catching big females deep staging this past weekend that still had small, not fully developed sacks. There are some that have already spawned out but the majority are still moving up. Water temps have been there for em for the past few weeks or so, but I think they're a little late this year (super high water). Usually you can judge it from the first full moon in April will be the biggest push of spawners up (It was this past weekend). Not sure on Crappie, but covered a good bit of water this past weekend trying to sight fish, and saw just as many big crappie on beds as I did bass. Again all on south end. Supposed to rain a good bit this week so I imagine most of the mid-lake to north end will be muddier than usual. If you don't mind me asking, were you in Afghanistan for work or duty?
