Thread: Duck river again

I know what you're taking about furflyin. I fish a lake that has shad but is only around 100a and the fish a still small, but you can catch over a 100 in one evening easy. Most fish in this lake are 8 - 9 inches or smaller. I would bet it will get the same way if no one keeps fish. Few small lakes will grow big crappie. That's why I was shocked the new world record came from a pond.

Like I said I just read it and know nothing about all that.

But I do agree I’ve caught 10 inch fish from Wheeler and they are way bigger than the 10 inch fish from duck.

I brought home 16, 9 1/2-10 1/2” fish from DRR. There was a layer of ice between them in my cooler. Very easy to keep separate. There was not quite a quart bag of fillets from the DRR fish and there was well over half a gallon bag of fillets from the Guntersville fish. Those DRR fish just don’t have enough to eat.

I’ve heard and read both ways. I’m sorry but there is no way they didn’t stock crappie in there.

I agree it doesn’t seem possible. “They” might not have stocked it but somebody else may have. Or maybe there was a pond or three with crappie in it that stocked it. Regardless, they’re there, in force, and skinny.

But they are there for those of us that can’t catch any anywhere else. Lol.
