    I appreciate andy all info posted on any of the lakes. I glady post any info and experiences I have. I and my fishing buddies don't get to go often (work) and lakes close to us not good for crappie so we set up week-end trips maybe 3 to 4 a year and it is helpful having info about areas we are going to try. I don't want your honey hole just info about the lake I am quite capable of picking my own spots that I want to try. Keep posting please

    Guys, Everybody can use a bit of insider advice every now and then. Hell, when I first started fishing I had to figure it out, without much help. This is why this forum was established. I have made some good friends and good contacts on this forum. However, just because somebody shares their "good day" on here does not mean, doom and gloom for the fishing spot! You can lead a horse to water, but the horse doesn't neccessarily know how to operate the GPS............

    Have some of these Lakes seen more pressure because of guys posting success stories on here? Absoulutely! Does that mean that the guys who are reading the posts and heading to these Lakes are catching the fish like the OP's? Absoulutely not! I have made 3 trips to Rend (1 1/2 hour drive each way for me) because of the results and info I've seen on this site. One member who guides there was kind enough to reply to both PM's I have sent him asking for a "little" help. My first trip over was at the peak of the spawn during the flood in 2011. I caught 16 fish while the Lake was falling thanks to that member's help. I've been back 2 times since then and caught a total of 2 keepers. Just goes to show that the fish don't jump in the boat. Local knowledge is something that "Lurkers" can't find in a post on the internet.
    Well said. Maybe I was a little harsh about not posting pics anymore. I just dont feel the need.
