Hi All,

Was just sitting here thinking about crappie fishing and just read an article about the relationship between available size of baitfish, in this case shad, and baits selection.

With my very limited experience fishing for crappie and what I just read what is the size of the shad in Greers Ferry Lake? Are there more than just one type of shad and what are the color differences?

For Arkansas, are there different forage bases for instance in Greers Ferry Lake, Norfolk Lake, Lake Greeson, and Lake Dardanell just for examples?

After considering the size of the forage base what size baits does one go to?

So last of all, am I making this to hard on the brain and just fish instead of thinking to much?


Your thoughts would be appreciated!

Regards,

Lee
