ET Fish, it may be because anyone can catch spawning crappie on just about any lake with a float and fly 8"-36" off a point on Douglas or Cherokee and on blowdowns on Ft Loudoun, Tellico, Watts Bar, Chic? When its easy nobody needs help. Heck I had one jump in the boat Saturday when I accidentally hung a minnow off the side of the boat!!!!!!!! And then again maybe people are fishing more and surfing less?
