My 2 biggest were both 2.5"s caught on a Bandit 200 in a green carp tournament ! 1 from Monroe and the other from Patoka. I did weight each 1 on good scales ! Cataract is hard to beat day in and out. Monroe is my lake and I can't seem to find keepers consistently. I need to try Salamonie and Eagle Creek both ..........
For me:
1.Lake Holiday for biggest crappie
2.numbers wise have to go to Raccoon Lake

Eagle Creek, Coon, Cat, Lemon, for numbers of keeper fish. Monroe and Patoka gives you a chance on largest fish tho lacking in numbers of keepers. I don’t try and keep anything under 10” unless they swallow the hooks. This coming spring, I personally think your going to see smaller fish and maybe numbers going down slightly due to this last years extreme fishing pressure and amounts of fish harvested. Your going to have to rely more on your electronics and for those that don’t use them too much,,,learn to use your electronics as well as experiment more using fishing technics you may have not used much. Biggest fish in Indiana 1-17” and 1 17 3/4” crappie both off Monroe. 4 over 2 lbs off Lake Truman, MO.

I rarely fish for crappie anymore, so don't have a favorite numbers lake. I fish for them in the spring, and when I see a opportunity to catch them while fishing for other species.
Hey Chigger, do you ever fish Laughery creek? I live on it and fish it maybe we can share stories about it?
