The past 2 years I’ve seen a drop off in size and numbers of crappie. I mainly troll crankbaits in the same area on Chickamauga. I believe it’s just a normal cycle. However, the number of well informed and electronically proficient anglers has increased significantly over the last 4 to 5 years- IMHO.
Hopefully we’ll get a few more high output years in before the Asian carp lay waste to our section of the Tennessee River.
