Thread: Want your opinions if I may.

Chris you better get the dust off those boards, its already starting down this way in the creek and those Peilcans aren't effecting the fish I am catching! LOLOL

Those are some nice ones

Chris...for whatever reason the crappie population seemed to "peak" in 2013 on the "Chick". TWRA electro-fishing surveys before and after that year haven't been close to the number of black and white crappie that were found in the survey that year. It was around that time when the Florida strain bass that were stocked here grew up into double-digit giants and probably have quite a few crappie on their menu. It's hard to say why the numbers are a bit off but like the river itself it has an "ebb and flow" and always changing.

That was also when Lake Guntersville was on fire for crappie. From what friends still down there have said it is nowhere near like it was then. Hopefully we will see those type of fish again in the future

Look at water levels during the spawn and shortly afterwards, it explains 90% of the variations in crappie year class strength.

And cormorants. My goodness the cormorants in the station camp creek and laguardo area.
