I was on the lake most of the winter while they were doing there crappie survey, they had crappie nets out for 3 weeks and moved them every few days and shocked the lake also. What they told me at the end of the survey was the lake had way to many small crappie and very few keepers. She also said that if they did not remove the size limit that there would be even less keepers because the lake could not support that many small crappie. So in a nut shell this is the fast way to reduce the amount of 7 and 8 inch fish and when numbers of small fish gets in check they will put a size limit back on them.
