Of all the many management techniques used by fisheries managers, the only one that I see being promoted here is selective harvest. This technique works very well for LMB/BG/redears. As so many people have said, it does not work well for crappie.
Why not try some of the many other management techniqies available to us? One such technique is put, grow and take management. This technique is used extensively by many state fisheries departments as well as many clubs and individuals. People that have HSB must use this technique. It is used extensively with channel catfish and walleyes. Why not with LMB to control crappie? In our smaller lakes, it could easily be cost effective.
I think the point here is that there are so many different management techniques. Just because one technique doesn't work with crappie doesn't mean that one of the many other techniques won't.
