Yes Bob you know, you are right....It is not so much that Crappie take over in numbers as much as the fact that it takes soooooo much forage to feed them!! This what seems to make the most since why crappie fisheries tend to fails so much.

1) Good fertalization program, I mean good...

2) Good forage base like threadfin and other small type forage food that is big in numbers but small in size.

3)Over population LMB

4) A WILLINGNESS TO FISH THE CRAPPIE EXTREAMLY HARD...
