Hey Scout I'm from Arkansas as well. Been here for 4 yrs. Joined this website today. Went back home to Duckhunt catch some bass and crappie last November. I live on Vashon Island. My fishing buddies here don't even know how to spell freshwater. They wouldn't know a crappie if it jumped in the boat. They are strictly salmon hunters. Hopefully will meet someone on this site that's all about slabs.
