Hi, very nice site here. Seems to be lots of knowledgeable folks. My son is a Marine and is coming home on his pre-deployment leave before going to the big sandbox. He wants to go Crappie fishing for a couple days while home. We're going to Blood River on KY Lake March 5, 6, and part of the 7th. I don't get to fish much but I mostly fish for Crappie when I do get to go. Only time the boat got in the water last year was for a 3 day trip to Weiss Lake. I've pretty much always fished Jonathan Creek and north and have never been to Blood River. Any tips on how and where to fish would be appreciated. I'm not really set up for spider rigging but I'm thinking about it.
One other thing-My birthday is the day we're going over there and I think I'm going to ask the wife for a handheld GPS for my b'day. I notice some of the new models, Lowrance iFinder H20C for one, use 16 satellites instead of 12. Are these much more accurate or should I save the money and get one that uses only 12? I hope to soon be able to get more fishing time in and would like a GPS. Thanks in advance, Hutch
