You can catch alot of crappie on the normal summer type patterns right now on Smithville but the only problem is that you may have to catch a few hundred fish to find a limit. Lots of 8 1/2 to 8 3/4 inch fish in the lake and they are everywhere! I have tried deeper, tried shallow, I have tried just about everything I know to find the bigger Crappie but so far no luck on any sort of pattern for bigger fish.
I did catch a 6 lb channel cat the other day on a 12 foot slow trolling rod -- that was quite the trick to get him landed!!
Good luck to ya on the water!
Don't take life so seriously, no one lives through it anyhow!!
