We still boated plenty of crappie, my best guess is 100-150, with most smaller than 10" and a couple over 12". When we decided to leave about 1pm there was a line seven deep waiting to either launch or load. Most knew the program but some didn't and waited to load coolers and all the gear until they were ready to launch. Now that boating season is upon us I think we'll be fishing during the week or picking non pleasure boater friendly lakes on the weekends. Glad you were able to at least get a good meal for your efforts.
