I fish in a lake, 130 acres. In 2013 after a draining/ complete restocking of bream, bluegill,shad minnows early in the year and later what I think was black crappie and later bass were stocked. Another note this was done as the lake filled that year. All went well till the spring of 15 and there was a problem with the spillway and the lake was drained down about 1/2 way for repairs. This all took about year or more to get done and refill. The bass have done very well but the owners are somewhat disappointed with the crappie. They’ve been hard to find but what has been caught is about 8.5 to some 10 inchers. My questions are is the size of them about what would be expected with all that has gone on with the lake? Would the draw down have effected them in a negative way? Would “white” crappie have been a better choice to stock? My research shows they grower faster but I’m no crappie expert!
Thanks,
