As I recall from reading what the experts said in other older threads is that the crappie can have very variable spawns. A person might get along fine for or a while or might not, but then perfect conditions come along for a perfect spawn and they overpopulate in a single year.
Seems like they want a large BOW before recommending the fish. Maybe 10 or 20 acres?
One of the experts will be along shortly I'm sure, now that the non-experts are bringing the thread up to the top of activity.
An archive search will bring up quite a bit of info because I remember reading several things on the subject while reading some of the older threads.
