    Hey bassky.

    East Fork still has the 9" min length and 30 limit. I fish lakes in NE Ohio that had the limits imposed in 2009 I believe, and size went waaaay down. The limit was removed in 2018/2019 and the crappie fishery has been on the upswing again. A lot of people whine that more limits and min lengths are needed on their lakes but in many cases the limits have the opposite of the intended effect.

    I wish they would remove the limit, I believe size would increase. To address Bassky's comments, I suspect you are fishing way too deep. The last few weeks has been a very shallow bite (around 2-4'). It's no problem to go out now and catch 100+ blacks in a couple hours. Most will be around 9'', but a fair number around 11''.
