I always thought that the small fish problem started with the minimum size limit reg a few years back. I know that crappie were put in some of the ponds that were made when new hwy 63 was built. The population is dense, but the size is very small and paper thin. The ponds keep good water year around, but there are just too many crappie per acre. Is this the problem at Charles? If so, people need to be keeping everything until the problem is fixed. Maybe one year with no limit on crappie, and against the law to release anything caught. How much fishing pressure does Charles get? It is a little "out of the way". Again, just a thought. If I had the solution, I would have a different job.
