All time spent on the water fishing is very enjoyable, so wherever and whenever the opportunity allows we should go.
Some of the Florida lakes remind me of the remote lakes in Canada I enjoyed visiting for many years.
Even the water color is the same, just different fish species. There is one difference however, which is that there isn't a fresh water fish that swims, that can even begin to compare to similar sized salt water cousins.
Age and condition is what has turned me on to Crappies, not preference.
