MikeG, welcome to Perkins!!! I have never been on Bell Cow or the old Chandler lake. I hear the smaller one holds some really good crappie. Just east of Perkins is a very nice baitshop called RC Bait and Tackle. Its at 33 and Fairgrounds rd on south side. Stop in and BS with Randy for a bit, he may be able to give you some good info on BC.

Bell cow is pretty good I just find some of the trees and tie off to them and drop a line I never really tried fishing it any other way because of the skiers and stuff . I also tie off and fish the draw down

MIKE G,
Welcome. Bell Cow does have a decent Crappie population but don't go for Crappie. It contains pure strain Florida Bass, and has for probably 15 years. The current lake record is over 12 pounds. There are a good number of 3 to 6 pounders in there. Try a firetiger bomber model A or some black power worms.
My last Crappie trip (last year) produced "0" Crappie but 7 bass from 4 to 7.5 pounds and a bunch more 2 to 3 pounders. We were fishing 3' deep, early May, with Shiners.
Best of luck, Hammer

Im looking for a current crappie report on Bell Cow. What depths have been working? I was on the water here last week and had everything accept minnows and couldn't get a single bite. My Humminbird was lit up with fish in the deeper drop offs 19-24'.....Blue bird skys didn't help but I really didnt expect to get blanked on crappie...Any current information would be most appreciated.
