As much as I hate to admit it.....I couldn't catch a crappie right now if you gave me a stick of dynomite. SO, I have experimented with trolling for Hybrid on Barren River lake. Finding large schools of fish in 15 foot of water and catching the fire out of em. Caught over 70 on Sunday afternoon in about a four hour period. (only kept 16) Most fish were small...but Hybrids don't seem to think they are small. Had some 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. I've dressed some...cut out the red vein and am waiting to try them. Hope they eat good.....I'm sure they are nothing like Crappie though. Waiting for fall and cooler weather to pursue the crappie.
