Yes, the Crappie Shop is still open. I am CB (not CV). There are 3 of us that are helping Steve out for the time. Myself, Darren and one more, we are working TOGETHER to bring you the same service as Steve does. If you have any questions or need any supplies, you can reach me at 478-607-0344 or you can send emails to THECRAPPPIESHOP.COM and One of us will be glad to assist you in anyway possible. Thanks in advance. BUD219 (CB Sightler)
