Has anyone ever fished at Swan Lake for crappie? Just moved back to the area, all of my crappie fishing that I ever did prior to moving was at lake Barkley.
Also, Mitchell Lake in the refuge, any ideas there as well.
Thanks

Big bluegill in there as well along w/ grinnel and gar.
I havent ever fished there but i plan on it this year. I have heard its usually really good. Let us know how you do.
Thanks for the info guys. I plan on going pretty soon. I will let you all know how I do. Just glad to be back home!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D
