    Most any solid body or umbrell body will work with them. Mainly using Slab Bandits.

    I live in Arnold, Mo, just over the Meramec River from St. Louis County. It's exactly 92 miles from my house to Paul Ice ramps at Kinkaid. I like to go over JB Bridge through Waterloo, Red Bud, Ballwin, Sparta, Steelville, Willisville, Ava route ... about 2 hours . I've fished Kinkaid since 1985 ... it's a beautiful lake ... lots of deep water and not many obstructions but VERY busy on weekends. During the week, not bad. Good crappie, bass, catfish, muskie. Main marina sells gas/minnows.

    Kinkaid is close to 2 hours from me. I was hoping to learn of some new spots a little closer to home. I agree, it is beautiful, that whole area is good fishing, Lake Murphysboro, Crab Orchard, Little Grassy... good stuff. Anyone know of any crappie holes a little closer?
