by the way im new to this site and after reading the threads posted earler in the year i have leared so much about fish for crappie on my very own door step that i never knew existed and I've lived hear all my life. Any info on winter crappie in the north west? I've got the bug and i cant shake it. I will be going down to Duck lake, like i said in a few days and will try there. one fall i was able to pull some real slabs out of there. thanks.
