Welcome to Crappie.com ...
"brother" Nwest ... good to have you aboard. Looks like you're about halfway between BadBrad & myself. Brad's in Bowling Green, and I'm in Lexington.
If'n you ever get a hankerin for some new water to explore ... you might want to check out Cedar Creek Lake (between Stanford & Crab Orchard on Hwy 150), if you haven't already. Bluegill & Shellcracker are it's claim to fame, as far as panfish go ... the Crappie aren't doing as well as expected, but they are there. They'll be taking the size limit off of the Crappie, in 2008.
Looks like you're in the middle of the Taylorsville/Nolin/Green River lakes triangle ... ever fish any of these, much ??
You'll find all kinds of info and discussions about "gills", on the "Bream/Brim" forum ... and don't be afraid to post, about whatever you catch, on this forum or the Main Message Board.
