I went one time last winter and caught a few in the trenches.....pretty easy to find them with decent electronics that time of year as they cluster up on the bottom and there is nowhere to hide. However, the size has gone down drastically and I hate having to keep 6-8 inch fish to go onto a 20 fish limit. (Have to keep everything you catch after Dec.1 because of the depth.) We really liked fishing it during the hottest part of the summer hanging minnow rigs just over the 14 ft thermocline with a slipcork. We had 10 or so hotspots and there was always at least one of them loaded with Crappie. Those were the really good ole days that I would love to see return!
