    Thanks for the report Bubba. I am waiting for Monticello to turn on before I get out there to snatch a few lips from 40' deep. I've never fished water that deep before, so I'd better wait till they are jumping in the boat before I venture forth...

    Be sure we all know when they "turn on" on Monticello. Fished for a few green carp there and caught an 8.8 2 yrs ago. (Fried up rather nicely too.) I to, like ceb, have never attempted fishing for crappie that deep. That would be an experience within itself.

    Yeah they have been thinned out alot. 2 years ago there was a tremendous amout of crappie taken out of there. But the size is a lot better now that they have been thinned.
