I crappie fish Lake Freeman and Shafer. I live 3 miles from Lake Shafer and Lake freeman. Freeman has a dnr ramp in town which is free. Shafer does not. I fished into nov this year and got BIG gills with b moths but crappie I had to use a 1 1/2 tube which was red and white or silver and black. I would throw the tube along a pier and crank it in slow letting it bump along the bottom. I was hopeing to go more but my steering cable broke and I am saving up for a new one. The weather has been near 50 and to have a boat with no steering in those temps are driviing nuts! The drive time is about 40 to 45 mins.from where you are. Anymore question like directions or such let me know.
