hey guys, lake barnett is about ten minutes from my house,but i will still drive 3 hours to fish a good crappie lake instead of lake barnett. lake barnett is one moooooody lake!!! it gets alot more fishing pressure than what most people thinks.crappie can be found on barnett but they are usually more trouble to find and hard to catch. they bite one day and not the next,and most of the time not at all. i would not recommend lake barnett for crappie fishing.
