Smaller size fish has been the norm this year for sure, I through back probably six fish for every one I kept. I remember reading that crappie have a 5 year cycle where you get 5 years of good fishing and larger fish and then 5 years of poor fishing and smaller fish. Not sure if there's any truth to that, but something is going on.
I was fishing near a log in the water anything more than 5 feet away was all but barren of fish, definitely structure oriented fish .
