You should try Watchaug Pond it is in a very nice State Park, Blackstone if I remember correctly. Although I've been living in Alabama since 1978 I still visit relatives there. I didn't catch any crappie this past summer, but locals tell me spring and fall crappie fishing is great. Be sure to ask about the sand bar that divides the lake. It is more of a rock bar. No problem if you know where it is and you go slow. It goes from one side of lake (pond) to the other and splits it about in half. I'd offer my relatives phone number, but none of them fish for nor know anything about crappie fishing. You will be picking up quite a few pickerel as you fish there.
