Thank you for commenting Teq. I live in Clark county and dock at Red River which is 10 river miles below lock 11 (at Fox) and 14 river miles above lock 10 (Boonesborough). This pool is the second longest pool on the KY River; the one you’re referring to is the shortest one (incidentally, Clark and Fayette both get their water supply from this pool).

The crappie we do catch up here, which are always whites, are usually good sized in the 10-13” range. The problem is locating them. I use a small boat with a large motor which can cover a lot of water in short time. I have a portable fish finder (Fishing Buddy) that has a side finder view, and which I have to admit, I’ve never tried using it to look for crappie, but I do intend to use it next Spring for just that purpose. Is this the secret to locating the crappie on the river? A fish finder?

IME, crappie are easy to catch IF you find them.
