Transplanted southern boy who's new to the area. I've been able to figure out the smallmouth (well sort of) but not the crappie. Any place around I can take my 8 year old to catch a crappie from the bank. I got him hooked on perch fishing last October on a dock in Bellevue under interstate 90. Between that and Bill Dance he thinks it's that way all the time. Been a long winter.
