Has any one else noticed a decline in quality crappie on table Rock this year? Maybe it's just me, but I can't ever remember a year in at least the past 10 that was this bad. Catching lots of crappie but majority are shorts, water temp was 64 today in flat creek, usually they are in full swing right now. Just wanted to see if anyone else hAs been having trouble. I've caught them in 4 feet of water then I'll catch them in 12-15. There is no real pattern it seems. Maybe the cold fronts we've had recently?

I've had good luck on several trips fishing the Point 15 area, however no luck up Flat Creek.  Crappie have been heavy, even short fish.  Must have fed well over the winter.  I used to do well on Flat Creek, but no so this year.

I have been catching more short crappie this year than I usually do.  Like you said there is no real pattern, you catch on here and one there and from upon the bank out to 10 to 12 feet. Them 9.5 inch crappie this year should be keepers next year.

I'm seeing the same thing. I may catch 10 shorts for every keeper. Even then my keepers may only be 10 1/4" just had a real lack of any size to them but lots of numbers.

i think some can be attributed to fishing pressure, and the other thing is that because of lack of cover, many crappie have become open water shad eaters as the bass have done.
