DrNip....it can get crowded if you fish the community piles or the visible structure. Put your time in on the water with your fishfinder and you can find a lot of piles that very few know of. Maybe even drop a pile or twelve of your own to ensure you have a place to go. Just make sure to tell me where so I can let you know if that was a good spot to put them. You can find HUGE schools of crappie in that lake. We have caught and kept 111 fish out of a school before and it doesnt even looked like we caught a fish from it.
