What else is in the lake? Crappie spawns are highly variable (in the extreme). As a result, you need more than a short time frame picture to draw solid conclusions. Population imbalances have/cause large swings in populations which reoccur over time. For example, in 3 years you may see tons of skinny 3-4 inch crappie and few yoy LMB.
People who have fished the lake for years say it has been this way for a long time - small bass and lots of them and nice large crappie in decent numbers. Many years ago the bass were larger. Some members having been removing bass over the past few years, but obviously not enough to make a difference.
Two questions:
1) Is there any information out there about how many bass should be in a lake based on the lake's acreage ?
2) What do you think about the idea of introducing BG to increase the forage for the bass (combined with a larger scale bass thinning effort)
