This is a dead horse because people wanna stick their heads in the ground and act like there isn't a problem.Everybody wants to either deny or blame it on someone else.What's wrong with saying, "well we reaped in 2013 and this is what we are left with,it'll be good again in 2017".Because that's how it is like or not.This cycle stuff is bullcrap,crappie will spawn reguardless.We should quit calling it a cycle and call it a catch up period.Cause that's what it is.
