Okay, I'll chime in just for grins. I only started fishing for crappie at the end of Jan, this year (disclaimer). I have gone 6 times (all on NWR) since Jan 28, and have landed a total of ...59 crappie! Biggest was 12" Woo-hoo!

But, it is a lot more than I caught last year (those were dark times, before I was saved by crappieitis).
