You have a sugar momma, don't you?
I'm not much of a fisherman but that's awesome.9 to 9 1/2" crappie
They are shallow! Was that Tims? I cant find a place that shallow in the whole lake!
Lol no this is at Garrett lake in west tn.
Why are they all so small. Were they just stocked? There is a twra lake near me that a buddy said is full if 9" crappie because they were just stocked. He thinks next yr they will be keepers.
need to keep a bunch of them regardless what size limit is. Get some them small ones out. And taste good too
It's over populated bad.
I agree. Just ain't ready to pay that price lol
I understand. It is patrolled often.I agree. Just ain't ready to pay that price lol
TWRA checked my cooler once. If they are 10.5" they go back. I dont want to get a ticket for a close fish. Luckily the lakes we fish, they are normally well over 10".
Woods reservoir has quite a few that flirt with 10" . Tims is usually well over
next year more than likely youll be able to keep all you catch for crappie at garrett. i think the same for lmb under 18". one of the 2024 proposals.
No kidding?
Thank you sir.
I would be fine with a limit but when you have that many 9 1/2" crappie that are thick as a normal 12" crappie that never get any longer can't be a good thing.
Gotta admit I'm gonna clean a LOT of crappie if this passes.
i imagine they want the majority of them gone and to align them with some of the other twra lakes. it seems like they are managing some twra lakes more for bass and indirectly bluegill. i also noticed where they placed an 8" length limit on bluegill on a couple of lakes, which is probably a wise move. some of these lakes have been hammered over the years and has created mediocre bluegill populations. williamsport lakes come to mind.I would be fine with a limit but when you have that many 9 1/2" crappie that are thick as a normal 12" crappie that never get any longer can't be a good thing.
