Craig,

Tried catching some Hargis Creek slabs two weeks ago using jigs and minnows. No luck on crappie, but I couldn't keep the channel cat off my line. Even pulled in a small(4 lb)flat head. Anyway, I thought about trying Butler State Lake. What are your thoughts on the crappie population out there? I noticed the lake brochure on the KDWP web site shows several fish attractors in the lake, but states that they were placed in 1980-81 timeframe. Do you know if these "attractors" were built to last, or were they something that might decay over a 30 year period.

Thanks,
John
