Thread: Article: WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE BITE ON MY FAVORITE LAKE???

Really interesting article and adds some (much needed) perspective and insight into varying crappie populations over the years.
The catfisherman in our area are having stickers made that says "We release trophy class fish" to put on their vehicles and raise awareness.
We might do the same to spread the word about releasing 2 lb plus crappie. As your article mentions, anything above two pounds around here is a good fish.I CPR (Catch Photo Release) all fish above 2 pounds.

Thanks for the response TexExp. I am glad you enjoyed the article and that it provided you some insight and perspective about the cyclical nature
of crappie populations over time. I think any ideas that promote awareness to the public for what we do as fishermen to conserve and care about
our natural resources and our love for the sport is a great thing. I practice CPR myself and don't have a bit of problem with it.
Good luck to you.
