It may very well happen there also if that many fish are being taken even with that small amount of time, thats alot of fish, just might take a little longer to happen

Dang I was stationed in Tucson for 4 years and never knew anything like that was happening,had to take up dirt bike riding when I was there.LOL
The biggest problem with San Carlos and a few of our other lakes is the huge water draw downs we can have. It can only take one season without normal rain and the lakes almost go dry. San Carlos has went low enough to result in huge fish kills many many times. The last one only a few years ago but when the water comes again it has always taken off and produced huge numbers of carppie again. Somehow they make it through the low water times.

I was looking through your other videos. Is it correct to assume you ride a KLR?

I have to admit that had you not posted those links, with pics I might add, to that other site, I was totally prepared to call you a liar. I am so glad I didn't. :D
That type of action is NOT common across the country. There are lakes in quite a few states that can rival that at times, but to say that is the "norm" would not be accurate. You really have something there, Im jealous!
So, I apologize for even thinking you were full of crap. :D
Understandable since I grew up crappie fishing in IN and MI. Our fish can be kind of fickle at times but they grow fast and large. The really good news right now is that Roosevelt crappie are just starting to turn on and in some places where they can be reached. A buddy called to say the males are on the banks and averaging 2 pounds so I need to get in on it. Good news for sure because Roosevelt has been tough to fish for a few years.
Here is some Roosevelt crappie taken yesterday to show average size. http://www.azbasszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79316 It's still hit and miss but turning on quickly. Low pressure coming this weekend so expect things to slow again for a while.
