I would almost head down that way tomorrow, in the rain, if I knew they were catching them down there. I've heard that lake, those lakes have big slabs and was looking forward to hitting them but they are supposed to be draining one of them, the best one in my opinion when it comes to bass fishing but not sure about the crappie. It would be about an hour and half drive from the Hot Springs area but getting away from the deep clear water also. Trouble I seen down there was the whole lake was like 10' deep, everywhere, no major depth changes. I think the channel had some depth change though, maybe a good spot. I hate to go down there not knowing if you could even launch down there??
