been there with the finder. lol you get so many fish under you, that the bottom comes rt up to 3-4 ft. sounds like you had your hands full with them fish. great job.there has to be some grandma and grampas in there somewhere. keep searching, it looks like there is plenty of area to search. i view big crappie hunting as bass fishing. run n gun cover and youll run into big crappie, if they are in there.
