I know what you mean Dutch. The information you give is very useful and gives a leg up. Having the color and the water conditions is a great start to use in the area that the reader fishes. Catching crappie is just reading the weather and the water and you start where the weather and water temp tell you. Then find what color is best for that day and sometimes the type of jig matters big time. Sometimes things are weird and you have to go with your gut. Of course this is just from my experience and isn't worth much. Good luck fishing everybody.
