I second that motion...I see the injury's they cos to crappie from thier bites all the time here on Conway. They move across the water in waves injuring or killing 10-14 inch crappie. They are one mean bird to a crappie and need a population reduction.

great read

I love walking the banks around the lakes we have here. You can tell where most people fish and sometimes leave their catches remains. I was walking a local hotspot lake and happened upon some stashed gear from ,looked like the nite before. As I nosied around making sure no one had fallen in the water, I came upon some filleted skeletons of some very large crappie and a few trash mouths with a striper thrown in. Not wanting to be there if the fisherman came back, I headed back to my truck and thought to myself, what if I can see these guys at nite? I could, and when I'm on my way to one of my,uh, their hotspots,if I don't see the light on, it's my hotspot and really does good for my freezer! never been skunked from that spot

Very good read! Enjoyed it very much

good read.CC has its share of water turkeys.both kinds.

Mud lines are another good place to fish. Wind, waves and wakes wash against the shore and if you have blow downs near by the crappie will hang just off the muddy water line near cover.
Good Fishing.
