    Default Looking for Crappie.... thoughts...


    My Grandpa and I go crappie fishing every spring break and we're looking for a good place to go that isn't too far from St. Louis.... We've been to Paris Landing, Reelfoot Lake, Lake Shelbyville and Kentucky Lake.
    Any help would be great!!

    I've done good on Truman quite often. Better fish than what you catch at Mark Twain, usually.

    I know you want to stay relatively close to St. Louis but during spring break time you'll find warmer water the further south you go. Be patient with the unpredicable weather changes this time of year.

    When is your spring break? I'm going to be down fishing LOZ the weekend after Easter, and I've always caught better crappie there than anywhere.
    Be happy to point you to a few good beds.
    Teach your kids to hunt and fish and you won't have to hunt for your kids !!

    Thanks for the offer....
    We are going down and meeting up with bugman on March 24th and 25th at LOZ. We can't wait! I hope it stops raining!
    Thanks to everyone for their input. Hopefully we'll have some pictures to show when we get back.
