Okay, next question. Can anyone find an article about the crappies spawning in the fall, north of the mason-dixon line? That article proves they have below it. Done arguing. Proven wrong. Now looking for as much more info as i can find. Can anyone help?
Chauncy,
Thats what I said. It happens down South and is more likely the further south you go. I have no evidence that it happens up here. I doubt that it does.
There are far less seasonal temperature and light differences the closer to the equator you get. There are far greater seasonal temperature and light differences the further from the equator you get. On June 21 in Pittsburgh, PA the length of the day is 15 hours and 3 minutes and on December 21 the length of the day is 9 hours and 16 minutes, a difference of 5 hours and 47 minutes. On June 21 in Miami, FL the length of the day is 13 hours and 45 minutes and on December 21 the length of the day is 10 hours and 32 minutes, a much smaller difference of only 3 hours and 13 minutes. As you go further south, the differences virtually disappear to where near the equator the length of day is nearly 12 hours no matter what time of year. The earth's axis is tilted, so its not exactly on the equator where the day is evenly split, but its somewhere close. Temperature differences are similar. On record, in Pittsburgh, PA the record high is 103 degrees and the record low is -22 degrees, a maximum difference of 125 degrees. On record, in Miami, FL the temperature has never hit 100 degrees and it has never dipped below 30 degrees, a maximum difference of less than 70 degrees.
