Reply With QuoteI was hoping all those 9 inch fish from last spring would have made keepers this spring. Guess there is just a bunch of them altogether. Thanks for the report Good fishing.

Wife and I made it for the last weekend of the cabin rental. Saturday we got on the water and fished till the rain rolled in. Started out from the pump station. Spider rigged moving around .6 mph with hot grubs. Followed the creek channel out to Britton Ford ramp. Caught 5 keepers and around 50 shorts. Sunday we got out a little earlier and quit at 12:30. We went out of West Sandy in front of the refuge by the island, it was really slow so we went back closer to West Sandy. Ended wit 4 keepers and about the same shorts. Water temps were in the 40 range, water was a little muddy. Best colors were popsicle and TN shad (southern pro hot grub). Will be back end of February beginning of March
Good luck all

Thanks for the info, what you report is how I left it my last time on West Sandy in mid November. Lots of shorts, very few keepers.
was there any size pattern to all of your shorts?
Just not seeing much growth to 10" fish now for 2 + years!

Fall of 2015 we caught a lot of 9.5"-9.75", thought spring of 16 would be good but still caught a lot of the same at about a 10 shirts to 1 keeper. We are still catching the same ratios.

You have experienced what we (myself, plus a few others, that live here on Big Sandy) for two, and if this spring, will be three years.
No growth.
My idea is simple, Asian carp cause a reduction in bait fish, less bait fish, and crappie don't grow, they just stay one size.
if I eat all I want, gain weight, eat less than I want, loose, eat right amount, weight stays the same. Does this apply to crappie? At what size is a crappie an adult fish?

Size is not the qualifying factor in a "adult" Crappie .... age is, or rather spawning age. I think that's around 3yrs old, on average.Originally Posted by Lane47
