Well tell big mike he has no idea what he’s talking about. This is the best crappie lake in the state and one of the best in the country. There’s a reason why crappie masters comes here 2-3 times a year. I haven’t been out in months so I’m not much help but there are several people in this post that have replied that know what they are talking about. Jigfisher is a good friend of mine, take his advice as closely as you can he’s never steered me wrong.
