Im going to put a few crappie in my pond this fall, but have no idea who sells them in Missouri. Anyone have any suggestions ? Thanks guys
Contact your Department of Conservation. They have a list of private suppliers. I'm sure they have a website too if you do a search.
Bowtiebubba- The Mo. dept of conservation has a very good website full of info for private pond owners. They also have a list of Missouri commercial fish producers. Looks like the your best bet for Crappie is Curryville Fisheries in Pike county @ 573/324-2285.
It may be easier for you to pull some crappie out of Mark Twain Lake. I am headed up to the lake this weekend for a whitetail bowhunt and some fishing. That lake is full of stunted crappie!
Thanks guys. I am wanting to get just black crappie.
Gainesjs What part of mark twain lake are you going to, i live at the entrance to indian creek marina access.
The Curryville hatchery carries Black crappie - I don't know what type of crappie is common in Mark Twain lake.
I lease a few hundred acres near Paris, Mo on Otter creek, just a couple miles from where it empties into the lake at the hwy 24 bridge - the deer are thick in that area!
We also fish a couple two acre private ponds - one is loaded with crappie. The bass are usually stunted in the pond, but we catch bigger crappie in the private pond than we do in the large public lake.
Thanks, i will give the curryville place a call. Mark Twain lake has both black and white crappie, but mostly white.
You might try Jim Kahrs at Osage Catfisheries, also. He is in Osage Beach.
Wow, Pacific and a beach in Missouri, arg, must be where all of the landlocked pirates hang out, surf on dude.
Thamks for all the info guys. I have them ordered from the curryville hatchery.
