Reply With QuoteI dont know if it's hurting the crappie population on Russell or not, but those gaint stripers are eating something. And it being a trophy lake aint helping to decline their numbers either.

I agree with you. On Russell, which used to be a phenomenal crappie lake, the rise in spotted bass and decline in largemouth and (apparently) crappie numbers coincided. Brush often holds way more spots than crappie now. So the good eating spots have had to become the "crappie fillets" of the past.Originally Posted by tackleboat

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

crappie took 10.38 to win in TOUGH conditions on Jan 8th. I'm sure it wouldve been good for another lb had we had stable weather that week. Still don't think it's what it was. I used to love Wylie. I did see a lot of bait though. Most of what I saw was in the river channel.
