You still have huge number of weekend warriors and shore fishermen who's over all impact is still what it always was. Now add in God knows how many new lakes that are out there spreading out some of the pressure and his whole premise starts taking on water. For me I don't care much for what a fishermen has to say right up till they start reporting a drop in numbers. Before that point I will always defer to the people who spend all day looking at these numbers for a living especially when we are seeing record numbers on most lakes and the big two are in full on recovery mode with sak getting real damn good. Trying to compare out here to MN is just dumb especially when natives with gill nets were a large part of the problem over there.As for the crappie in oahe I just wish the game and fish would do like SD and start stocking them in places like Beaver and cattail so we could get a stable kick ass fishery instead of this one good year class shit. I would have to believe anything stocked by them should have a decent jump start vs wild spawn thus hopefully getting us up and over the first winter barrier that stops the wild ones.</blockquote>
