Went to a small local lake yesterday to see if the fall bite had begun there and upon my arrival there were dead crappies all over the place. A few were floating but most were on the bottom of the lake that I could see as I walked the bank a good bit. I’ve fished this lake for years and never seen anything like this as far as that many fish and only crappies. I googled it when I got home and saw that nearby Spring Lake also had a huge issue with this a few weeks ago. Has anyone else seen this going on to this extent with crappies this year? From what I read it’s most likely a combo of low oxygen levels and 2 strains of bacteria that crappies are especially susceptible to.
