hey,tiger it would be great if you could bring your kids to nimrod lake it is nothing to catch 50 to a 100 crappie a day a lot are small but kids don't care it would last a life time !!!!!!! CA (nimrod) has a catfish whole that is fantastic you should see some of the kids faces after there time on the water!!!! our fall camp is going to be there sept 7 & 8th. would make a good time to bring them.
