[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3591958, member: 5412"] I’ll tell you what I think Wednesday. Getting the full monte installed at the Bass Tank in Sapulpa Tuesday. I read the article you posted. Agreed with some parts of it and disagreed with the rest. For the record I caught close to 50 crappie today keeping 24 and three redear perch big enough to fillet. With zero advantage of electronics. I’ve fished this body of water since being a small child. I know where they are at winter, fall, summer and for the spawn. The issue with this lake is that it is full of stunted crappie because of overpopulation. The ODW stocked saugeye into the lake as they prefer small crappie as a main diet. It helped. Instead of 6” crappie, they have increased to 10” with a few 12”. The lake is still full of 6” though with nobody fishing for them for the most part or throwing them back. Crappie are some of the most prolific breeders of any fish species because they aren’t so sensitive to water depth, temperature, etc like other species. Every body of water has its own set of circumstances that require different management practices. How electronics can hurt fish populations is yet to be determined. There aren’t a lot of them installed outside of guide boats that have customers to please or tournament participants where catch and release is practiced. I guess we will have to see how this plays out down the road using the ODW shocking programs to determine the health of individual lakes. [ATTACH=full]209489[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
