Well Crap! Finally someone within a 100 miles of me, and in the same body of water, and on this forum and we seem to be tied for who knows the least about catching crappie !!
Sorry man - lots of great guys here with tons of useful info that you will be able to use, but not gonna be many posts from your area. I am downstream from you, South of Selma.
Im new to the crappie thing but learning fast - caught 9 so far!! Good luck!!
