I myself am trying to learn about crappie behavior so I can be able to catch them in most conditions. Of course many on this board have forgetten more than I will ever know.
I agree with you. Take Gold Creek for example. That has to be one of the most crowded places I have ever fished, mainly due to reports posted on this site. BUT, I would say that 75-80 percent of those people don't catch many fish, if any at all. Crappie fishing takes finesse, and that only comes with lots of practice, (and frustration!) This site is a great place to learn the knowledge, patterns, techniques, and even a few honey holes. But, it takes a lot of practice and time on the water to be able to make the right adjustments at the right time. That's the part I am still working on, sometimes I score big and sometimes I strike out, but that's what keeps me coming back!!
