I just got back from black lake 2 days ago and had a blast. Crappie now up there arent as good as the fall by any means because they arent all schooled up like in the fall. None the less we found a nice hot spot and came home with about 100 instead of the normal 350 We also tried a bass minnow off the edge of the boat and hooked into some absolute monsters. We stayed at McLears and camped out... Good luck
