I have places that I fish that sometimes hold big fish, and other times I have caught several small fish there. I will say this, if I am catching alot of small fish on a spot, I usually leave that spot after just a little while of catching small fish as I do feel chances are tougher catching larger fish in the middle of a small fish school. There's an exception to every rule, but its tough to catch a big crappie with alot of hungry small ones around, but Im sure its done quite often by somebody.Just not a place I stay at. Where I fish tends to cycle as to which type crappie are present, and what the size of them are as well. I was telling a friend the other day that we just are not catching small crappie as we did there a year or so on that spot.... Also different lakes run different cycles too. My favorite lake at this time has tons of small fish in it and Ive been fishing two other lakes near by. A year or two ago they was covered up in smaller crappie. Next year will probably be good for going back to favorite lake and fishing there as by then those smaller fish have grown and the cycle is back in our favor again there.
