[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4615348, member: 6230"] thanks for posting that as i have made many posts on here that resembles his same sentiments. also thanks for posting that link to crappie.com as i read 2 other threads that Adam Martin explained the thin fish he examined were older fish that could no longer sustain effecient growth, at least thats his theory, and some research agrees with him. but in the same trap net study or maybe a different section of the lake, Paul Rister told game and fish magazine that shad populations were normal last fall, but on the flipside Adam said they didnt have a way to determine shad populations. i agree with his evaluation on black crappie. i target those mostly and there are more and more nice specs every year. as long as the water stays as clear as it has been there will be. blacks dont depend on shad as much as whites as they will eat bugs, insects, larvae and crustaceans to put on weight and survive. whites can also switch over when shad populations are low but its not their main diet as adults. anyway i wasnt disagreeing or disbelieving you, i was just seeing some different things i guess. lol, BUT still dont believe the topic of this thread in that silver and big mouth dont eat great numbers of shad.
