STUFF NOT INCLUDED

Shellcracker fishing: Best Time To Fish

During the spawn shellcrackers are highly vulnerable to being caught easily. The male shellcracker after establishing their nesting area which are usually the same spawning sites year after year, will become very aggressive. They will in fact strike at anything that intrudes into their nesting territory.

Shellcracker fishing: Spawning Months

Redear (shellcracker) will spawn as the water temperature nears 70 - this may be as early as March and last as late as September. The male shellcracker begins building a dish shaped nest that is a round sandy depression that is 2 - 4 inches deep and from 8 - 24 inches wide. Shellcrackers gather in large colonies during the spawn. There are dozens of nests side by side in an area of 50 - 75 square feet. Shellcracker spawning activities also cycle around the full moon periods. The 5 day period before and after the full moon is a great time to catch a limit of them.
