Crappie hatch is generall in 2-5 days then they are safe so depending on when the eggs were layed, and how fast the water went down, a lot of them most likely made it. A female crappie can produce up to 10,000 to as many as 160,000 eggs depending on age class, but generally a female of about a half pound can produce this many. Black crappie can produce a little more, but, I think most of our crappie are white crappie.
Blue gill hatch in about the same time frame with as many as 38000 eggs at a time.
Hope this helps ya all some, and would be curious as to when some of you think the hatch may have been one and when water started dropping to a dry bed in the trees since I didnt get down there but only once during the spawn.
