Let's see what kind of year everyone is having. What's your total catch count year-to-date?
As of July 11th I've boated 88 crappie through 27 or 28 fishing trips.

Hate to even guess . Figure several hundred this month if you count short fish .:fish

Nimrod doesn’t count. If game and fish knew how many he caught they’d change our daily limits in the state haha

I release or give away most any more . Been in contact with some on the AGFC staff. Pushing to see some limits raised and others lowered . But won't do alot of good . They have a long process of studies and surveys before they change anything ,:twocents I am not for lowering limit on Blue Mtn . Hope to see limit on small Crappie raised on Nimrod with only so many good fish . I think it would help there . Most small AGFC lakes need to look hard at yoyos and consider cutting limits in half . This is just my opinion .:fishQuote:

Wouldn’t bother me if they raised the limit on blue mountain “headed over there tomorrow [emoji16]”. I wouldn’t mind if they’d check out those fish cleaning stations in the spring when a ton of people are crappie fishing. I’ve seen a ton of small fish that shouldn’t have been kept [emoji1303]. I was just giving ya a hard time. I know you probably release more than you keep

I figure I've caught around 50 on yo-yos this year so far. You have caught hundreds with a livescope. You think yo-yos are a problem. I say to each his own.
I don’t think fishing with yo-yos is the problem. I think people leaving the yo-yos and never coming back for them is the problemQuote:

So, you figure the agfc is slacking their duty. Yo-yos are supposed to be marked to show owners. Either they aren't checking to see they are marked or following up to locate owners of abandoned devices. If current laws are enforced yo-yos will not be a problem.

It is not the AGFC's duty to ride around and check yo-yo's for names, that is the responsibility of those that use them to police themselves and follow the rules. If we all police ourselves then we don't have an issue and the AGFC can do much more good for us all by attending better projects.
Sorry Slip Knot, I had to "Weigh In" my thoughts since this thread turned into another yo-yo discussion. Maybe we can get back to the discussion as I find it interesting what type of year others have had on catch rates around the state.
Problem is small AGFC lakes , most have houses all around them . Many put out yoyos but never take them up .:twocents As far as livescope ,I was doing pretty good last 50 years without one .:biggrinQuote:

LiveScope... I was over a submerged tree the other day I know was loaded with fish. Couldn't even get a nibble. I would have liked to have had livescope then to see how the fish were reacting in real time to my jig. I have such conflicting thoughts about livescope... After seeing it in person and fished with it, I can definitely see the appeal. As of right now, I really enjoy my minimalist approach to crappie fishing. To each his own. I may eventually get so frustrated with not catching fish that I give up and get a livescope.
I suppose my hang up is my uncle. He is my fishing mentor or whatever. He is the barometer (for me) of what a crappie fisherman is. Small boat. Outboard motor. No trolling motor. No electronics. And the guy can pull crappie. It's really something to watch.
