I guided yesterday at a new area that I have only fished a couple of times. We fished dutchess creek and caught 25 keepers. We fished standing timber in 8-13 FOW with minnows right off the bottom. With the clear water we were seeing if we could catch some big black crappie. 22 of the 25 crappie were blacks, all were from 10-12 inches long. I think brush piles in the the right depth of water is the key over in that area of the lake. But it was a good challenge to get out and fish a new area! EB
