We need some way to thin them down such as reduced limit on 12'' and bigger while relaxing limits on those under 10''. They tried a 10'' limit years ago and said it did not work. Some lakes with low numbers already have length and or reduced creel limits.
Well lots of different opinions looks like. If Nimrod has good numbers wouldn't that prove the worth of that 10" slot years ago though. I keep hearing how many crappie Nimrod has, it may have just worked. It reminds me of that lake Pine Creek over in OK that's chocked with smaller ones. I still have plans of transplanting some fish from that lake into others. way I see it is if your going to catch them lil buggers while trying to achieve a mess of decent ones you might as well keep the bubbles on and take em to lakes that actually need em. It's the wrong time of the year to do it now though so we should wait for colder weather. As with the brush the state game and fish do not appear to be stepping in to transplant fish so us anglers might as well do it ourselves. I can't see how it could hurt, a 10" length limit that is. A lot of folks throw that size back already. I can also see state wide limit going back to 20 or less state wide. Lets face it if a guy has a partner in the boat 20 good crappie makes a lot of meat! That would only be a 10 and 10 limit doing it that way. I'd go for it.
