Sir, collected the $20 as he stated "Crappie fry AND juvenile crappies neither use cover". Agreed crappie FRY didn`t, he assumed only "mature" (bigger) crappies use cover. To his credit, he read this and commented as he shelled out the money "Who`s this guy think he is, a biologist or something?" Forgive me but I couldn`t help to laugh and point out "YES, he IS a biologist; maybe that`s why the thread is called `Ask the Biologist`..." Good guy, but kinda leap before you look sometimes...I`m gonna buy bait ! Thank You...
