I wonder what type of bg we are talking about are in here? Makes quite a bit of difference. Are they Shellcrackers? Greenies? Some hybrid? I also wonder if all that vegetation comes into play. How large is the crappie population? The more I ponder this the more questions I have. I am very interested on the progress here. You know what you could do? Since you are harvesting maybe you could open up one of those not so empty bass and see what is in its gut?
