Girlfriend of course caught a crappie around 10-11". I'm probably going to try hooking up with Jiggmeister from Walakes for some fishing soon.
I've fished Downs Lake only once without any luck. I did talk to a fellow who rents a cabin every year and he does quite well on Bass & Perch. Downs Lake is the only lake I've been to that has "Watch Out For Rattlesnakes" signs on the outhouse. The guy that camps there every summer told me he has them in his front yard quite often.
