i read somewhere that the crappie have been running small the last couple of years, any truth to that ? We were planning on a trip down next month but maybe not if thats the case.
thanks, Stan

The guides seem to still be getting plenty of nice fish for their clients.
may not want to come if your mission is a three pounder.but there are plenty of quality fish in Weiss lake including some three pounders. We just need a couple of weeks of warm weather.
we caught a lot of 12 to 15 inch fish last year in AprilQuote:

Again thank you, Stan

I have not been fishing Weiss long but last year I had my two personal bests 17-1/2 white and 15" black lots of keepers, until may then all small fish. I did here a rumor that the DNR shocked up a 6 lb crappie last year doing their catfish study?
