Yep, they are there and in good numbers if you can find em. My grandpa fishes there more than anywhere. He just puts two or three rods out and lets the wind blow him around. He will do well sometimes and other times not do much of anything.Quote:

Examples would be Old Town or Mallard. Any places out there like this that have stable unaffected water levels?
Take a look at Bear Creek Lake, in the St. Francis Forest near Marianna. It's pretty stable and produced some big crappie last weekend. I didn't go out--was fixing boat, but some fellows at the ramp had a bunch of slabs. They caught them on red and chartreuse jigs about 10 ft. from the bank. You can usually get out of the wind on that lake.
"Boy or Girl" What does that mean? Just curious :)Quote:

Black River is still way up, at least at Elgin.
