Hi Kevin,

Used to fish Smithville a lot when I was stationed at Ft Leavenworth. That lake was awesome! A lot of the reservoirs have causeways that allow passage to different sides of roads that pass over creeks and bays. I am up in N AL along Guntersville, Wheeler and Wilson. Not sure what you have there, but if you can find a causeway or bridge, they almost always have crappie around them. Welcome to the board.
