As for me and my boat, we will leave the lake closing to the MDWFP. And when I visit a crappie fishing forum I expect to read and see about crappie fishing. Does it have an effect? Yes. Is it negative? I don't know. That's MDWFP's job to determine.
Maybe we are just thinning all them fish out of the low water that got so big in last years high water. Again, I don't have a clue. But if this is your burden to carry, contact the fisheries biologist and hold them accountable for doing their jobs.
Attempting to belittle a fisherman for fishing or a poster for posting pics and fishing stories is not the way to do it.
