Greeting Fellow Floridians, The wife convinced me we should spend Feb in sunny florida (Lake Placid) and that seemed like a fine idea at the time especially with what I thought would be a few crappie holes near by. Well after lugging the skiff 600 miles from the "crappie capital of the world" to Lake Placid Fl. and 3 very hard days fishing (lake Istokpoga) I have 1 Crappie.......... YUP ONE CRAPPIE!! total caught for entire florida fishing career!!!!! Now I don't profess to even be a rookie crappie catcher but dang, I'm about give up crappie fishing and maybe look at sum golf clubs or knittin needles or something.

Seriously any Ideas on Istokpoga? The lily pad fishing is new to me. I'm watching others and they don't seem to be doing much better than I am. I'm fishing out of Hendersons fish camp and tried minnows which has previously been against my upbringing but getting kinda desperate. Any advice greatly appreciated.
