Thought I would post from the Right coast :D Lived in Sacramento when I was in my teens in the 70s, fished for shad and steelhead and salmon in the American river. Fished for sturgeon and stripers in the Sacramento river. Caught my first crappie at a place called (I think) Clear Lake. good gosh I remember cleaning 'em by the hundreds. Have never ever seen Crappie in those numbers at any other time in my life. Do ya'll still catch them up there??
