Birddogs54 had a GREAT idea. He suggested an ask the biologist forum. There are several MO Department Of Conservation Biologists who read this site. Their input and knowledge would be a great asset to Crappie.com.
Please use this forum to ask any questions you may have for the biologists.
If you are a biologist, we would welcome any input you wish to share to help us all become better sportsmen and women and better our stewardship of the outdoors.
Thanks again Birddogs54 for the outstanding idea!!!!

I read an article online about the elk that were brought into Missouri. The article said that some of them had died. Have not heard anything else about it. Have they figured out what caused the deaths yet?

Good idea. Wish I would have taken a pic of the catfish I caught last weekend. It was really different. It had a head like a flathead but had a blueish tint to its dark color but also had some spots on belly like a channel. I am not kidding. If I catch another I will make sure to take pics. Must be the low water levels.

spawning male channel? I definately am not the biologist, but I have caught a few recently, too. there heads swell up some and they tend to take on a darker color.
this forum is a great idea. I am anxious to see what questions get posted here!

Is it safe and or legal to transport crappie from a lake to a 30 pond, im building a home on a 35 year old 30 acre pond-it has bass bluegill and catfish to my knowledge. Im not sure if there are crappie in there havent caught any yet. Its 15-20 feet deep and not alot of structure. I will be adding structure soon.

glad you caught some in your pond. But I do believe it is illegal to catch fish at a public lake and release them into a private one
