I love crappie, as I think most people who have fished for and eaten them do. It appears that something is always missing in the 'good crappie pond" equation. What is the favorite bait to catch crappie? Since it is recognized that crappie compete with LMB and BG for food, and that they have similar low food conversion rates as LMB, why doesn't anyone ever suggest a much larger forage base of small fishes? Common shiners and TFS(in warmer SE climates) would seem to be part of the recipe. Along with good cover. Where am I wrong?
