Tom, Most of the fish are now in 5ft or less in trees,stumps and rocks.Delaware lake has an incredible shad population was once stocked with Musky, but do to the high volume of water, that gets let out it was discontinued and I understand the logic.I fished a Tournament 3 weeks ago, and we had our limit of 12 fish 9-11 inches and didnt come close to the $$ $It took 7lbs to finish in the top 4 places.2 years ago I saw a 17 incher a 15incher alot of 14 inchers and most Crappie tournaments are won by the spider guys.Hats off to the OGF Tournament guys who had a catch and release format after the tournament!The Tournament directors 2 years ago I may be wrong but I think it was Crappie U.S.A had the guys throwing the fish in a cooler after weighing and sad to say the 17 incher along with the 15 and many 14inch class were gone forever.I dont take 14 inchers and I dont understand if you have 30-40 9-12 Crappie why you need to take away the larger gene pool.I took home 40 a week ago and thats all I will take for the entire year ,when I hear about reports of those who take that many out daily it depresses me, but then again no laws broken, you can take as many as you can any day of the week on Delaware, as long as they are 9 inches and up sooner or later it will get tough especially since the smaller class doesnt seem to be around in numbers like they were.
