Hey Goosehunter,

We have some very good friends who live at Colony Cove in Ellington. Sorry, don't know Lake Hancock. Only places I could find near Ellington was Lake Manatee, in the lake Manatee State park and Evers Reservoir, also called Ward Lake. Suppose to have Crappie in both, I have not fished either, but I think there are gas motor restrictions on both.

Good luck,
