Thread: Jordan 12-15

There was a major crappie kill on the lake four years ago because of a major die-off of shad that resulted from extremely cold water that Winter. Many of the Crappie.com guys you read posting on here met with myself and the NC Wildllife biologist the past two years. Nature caused the shad to die and then many of the crappie starved to death the next Summer. The biologist stated they are not at all concerned about fishermen taking a limit--they are just worried about water temperatures. The biologist have already done their testing this year and the crappie population is still improving. They usually net around a thousand crappie, so they have a good sample population. Right now the biologist advice is to stay the course.

JordanLimit: During your past talks with the officials did they happen to mention what may have caused the collapse at Harris? I remember Harris being the winter spot but don't hear much anymore.
