Fishhound top 50 crappie lakes

[T.C.]

Fishhound just released its top 50 best crappie lakes in the country. Three from Florida made the list. Somehow my beloved Crescent or Lake George/Astor section of the St. Johns did not make the cut. Here are the lakes that did make it though.

21. Harris Chain of Lakes
32. Monroe
46. Lake Talquin

Here is a link to the full list. Fishing Reports on Top 50 Crappie Fishing Lakes & Rivers | Fishhound.com - Fishing Reports

I live in FL and the Harris Chain wouldnt even be in my top 5. My top 5 in no particular order would be Crescent, Talquin, Monroe, Lake George/Astor area, The Big O (even though i have never been). How about yalls top 5?

I believe I would have to agree with you on that one.

Talquin, Monroe, Crescent, Orange/Lochloosa, Lake George and I hear good things about the Kissimmie River. I would put Lake Seminole above the Harris Chain!

Kentucky Lake is way overated and all the Ga lakes being above Talquin? Why do you see so many Ga people at Talquin then?

Yeah this list doesnt have much credability IMO. I think that the results are based off overall history in the crappie fishing community not present lake condition. I hear the Harris Chain used to be excellent but even since I have been down here it hasnt been to hot. I agree with you on the GA lakes being above Talquin as well, Clarks Hill is the only lake that could possibly beat out Talquin. But for Crescent to not be on the list is ridiculous IMO, it has took over 14lbs the past 3 years to win the CrappieUSA tournament. I definately agree about Reelfoot being overrated, alot of big wigs are involved with that lake so I see why its on here. I think the Chamber of Commerce near some of these lakes may have done some lobbying as well, lol. Thats the only way i can explain it...........Where are all the Southern California lakes at? SoCal has some EXCELLENT lakes for HUGE crappie.
