Hey CP my dad said where he lives in Owen County the gills down there have blood in there eggs, as he called it and said they were ready to drop them, I dont know if that would be a sign for the crappie or not, but hopefully the crackers come on down there soon also. I dont want to sound dumb all the time but I have crappie fished since I have been a kid but I was one of those guys that would chunk a cork and minner out there and just sit and wait. I have just got into jig fishin for them within the last two years and still learnin how to fish them better. I am wanting to make to the cave myself sometime but weekends are rough sometimes, rain, birthday parties or the wife wants to shop/go to supermarket, well I guess we got to eat, when they come on down there I am sure Eky will find some.
