Those 4 lakes I mentioned, you can’t keep any crappie Under 12 in!

The one negative against those lakes is their sheer size. I'm looking at 4 to 6 days to fish. That doesn't allow for much of a learning curve to get on active fish.

I'm looking at a lake with an 11" minimum. That probably narrows it down enough to make an educated guess.��

So, if you could only hit the water for one month on let's say Grenada, which month would you pick?

Please forgive me. I don't know the Brad you're referring to.

For the ease of conversation, I'm planning to go to Lake Washington. If revealing that lake name violates forum policy, I apologize and ask the moderator to delete as necessary. I've contacted local shops but they were inclined to say its always good. After further YouTube search as advised, I've decided that I'll go in April.
It will be the spring after next as I'm already committed toma KS turkey hunt next April and an October grouse hunt in Maine, with a possible Wyoming antelope hunt in early October. Then it will be Mississippi slab crappie!

I did find Brad through Google. He was very helpful. I've finally settled on going in March when I do go. Our pike spearing season ends up here on 15 March, I can stop at a friend's in Indiana after that a go after walleye on Brookville then head down to Lk Washington.

Everyone here has been very generous with information.
Thank you all!

A 12 inch Crappie is illegal. They must be OVER 12 inches to be legal.
