those little ones have to eat. When the number of carp gets high enough they can compete with the little ones. Burnt cane was absolutely full of all sized crappies. Sure seems empty now except for thiose carp everywhere. They have a very small stomach and feed almost continually. On the plankton those crappie like. May not be able to get to Nimrod and I hope they sure don't. IMHO they have almost ruined Mississippi river basin oxbows.
