nvcdl,
As to your current situation I do think that it might be best start over because you obviously don't have a priority of having crappie. Crappie are not helping your situation and there is no hope you will make a dent in them at the rate you are harvesting them (meanwhile hating every minute of it).
I don't hate the crappie - they are good action and good eating when they are biting. I think I made a pretty good dent in the population.
