[cool][#0000ff]I have not yet targeted crappies, nor do I know of anyone who has scored any...on purpose. Until the water reaches at least 55 I don't expect to see any schools anywhere. Maybe a stray here or there.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]SW of the north marina? Are you referring to that area just around the corner...or further toward Pelican Beach? There are a couple of deep pockets next to shore close to the marina that sometimes attract some fish. I have also done well in the past just where the dike begins...a change in structure.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am guessing that inside the marinas will be some of the better crappie catchin' again this year. Lots of new brush to bring them in, in the higher water. I will be testing that theory from my trusty tube in the near future.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The good news (for the crappies) is that the lake is virtually ringed with good spawning beds after the rising water has flooded all of the weeds and brush that grew in over the previous two years of low water. Of course that probably means that the few crappies that are left will likelybe scattered over much more of the lake and will be harder to find.[/#0000ff]
