Hey troutcrazy, crappie are much better eatin' than them boney slick trouts. I have been trout fishing here in Arkansas, but I quit because I never found a way to eat them that appealed to me. No sense killing them when I know I'm not going to eat them. Summertime crappie are hard to find sometimes, you may have to sink some brush tops and coax them in bit.

I've got a friend from up your way in the green hills. He's from Randolph, Vermont. He sends me maple syrup and I send him shelled pecans every holiday season.

Welcome to the boards. Lots of good people here. GTT
