Went down on fri.3/30 till 4/2 had a great time , went out with a freind of whiskers ,The Old Guide . He sure knows the crappie,( Fish Tales Guide Service 765 277 0395) . We caught 2 crappie near the 2 lb. limit, and brought home a real nice mess of fillets , I learned a lot by just going out with him ,We were using road runners with curly tail over brush piles ,and casting the banks 3ft. to 10 ft. Highly recommend his service for a day, then go for it on your own. He won the usa tournament last year , class act on top of that .Good luck and keep your line in the water.
