NO CRAPPIE. NO OTTERS. I have seen crappie dominate a small pond, with nothing more than 4". Crappie should only be in large rivers and lakes of 100 acres or more.


One or two otters in my ponds this winter wiped out about 90 channel catfish weighing probably 200 pounds total. Never could catch them in the act, but saw the catfish heads and other otter sign.
