Made my third trip to Rural Retreat Lake today.

The first two trips I caught 8 crappie each trip. Today I fished the same small, chartreuse, twister tail grub and managed to boat 26 crappie and 10 bluegills.

No size to the crappie. I did keep 6. They will be dinner tomorrow.

This is the first year I have tried to catch crappie. I'll probably be able to make another day trip in a couple of weeks. Would love to catch some keeper crappie. Any suggestions in far SW Virginia?
