I stopped crappie fishing about 3 years ago for personal reasons , before that i had fished ky and barkely lakes for 30 + years .
I have started fishing again and most of my waypoints from then are still there but no or few fish . All of the brushpiles are almost void of fish .
Have the fish changed there patterns so much ( because of carp ) that they do not use brush like before ?
Is the crappie population extremely low ?
I spend several hours today scanning brush piles
( 10 - 30 foot deep )and only found a hand full of small fish .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
