Great Read! I have only been crappie fishing about 7 or 8 years but I bet you and I have talked a time or 2. That 2nd picture of yours is one of my favorite spots on the lake. My dad get aggravated with me when I crank up and start exploring the lake...he is a pole in the water or you aint fishing type..lol If you a little white center console Carolina Skiff stop and say hello.
