The Dept. of Fish & Wildlife are rating crappie as good this year at the Cave. After last year it has to improve. Here's their quote on crappie at Cave Run.

"Spring fishing success should be similar to that found in 2006. Fair numbers of 10 to 12 inch fish caught in 2006, but size generally declined later in the year. During spring months look for black crappie in the shallows near shore and around milfoil later in the year. Good white crappie fishing can be found in the Licking River portion of the lake in the fall."

I'm going next week if I can get away. Hopefully I won't encounter any ice. I usually fish the Poppin Rock area. I'll try to post a report if I can get on the water.
