A fishing buddy of mine, Scott Downing (aka Cricket1985 on crappie.com) from East Prairie had a heck of a weekend fishing the Crappie.com tournament at Sardis Lake, MS with his son, Zach.
The father and son team pre-fished on Friday and found good fish in three foot of water on the east end of the lake. The wind was blowing hard out
