went out to hazelhill today, wind was tough but the bite was on. my buddy and i both limited out. no real size average prolly 8 to 8 1/2, few around 11. but that lake isn't know for a lot of big crappie. but man it was a blast just get'n to catch a lot of fish, those small ones taste just as good as the big ones:D

I'm gonna try and get down there this week or next with my dad and brother. What were they biting on and how deep?

we were trolling in the open water mostly, were the channel is which still isnt very deep. caught a few up shallow but mainly 15 ft. of water about 7 ft down. would troll around the lake and hit a school and pick several up then have to move. we were using tube jigs with a crappie nibble (of course) mostly anything bright. anything with some sparkle seem to work a little better. they were hitting it real real lite. caught several dinky dinky guys, start catching the 3 or 4 inchers just needed to move a bit. hope the front doesn't turn them off. good luck!

Man I have only caught bass out of there. I'll be about 20 minutes from there when I get back home. My have to start hitting that place if I can get my butt off of LOZ and Truman. Congrats

Good to see, Slayer. It sure beats The Dead Sea (Maple Leaf), doesn't it? The crappies aren't big but there are a ton of them in that lake. They need to be thinned out. I caught between 30 and 40 last week one day. I only kept fish 10" or larger. I only caught 3 that size so I kept ZERO.

You can use a gas motor but it is "NO WAKE" speeds. The lake is patrolled frequently also.
