there are, essentially, two workable methods to catch Crappie at WB .... fish the deep brush or shoot the deep docks. More often than not, Black Crappie are taken from the docks and White Crappie from the deep brush piles - and Black Crappie tend to make up 90+% of the creel in our Fall Brawls. The occasional Blacknose Black Crappie will show up in either place, too. Don't worry about catching a boatload or just a few ... bring 'em to the weigh-in and be proud of them. You just never know (Paul and I won a Spring Fling with only a 7 fish limit) where you'll end up in the field .... but there are some "givens" -- you will have a good time, you will meet some great people (and some interesting characters), you will learn some new things, and you'll have a great meal on Sunday !!
Just remember ... 10 inch fish or better, & you can bring more than 10 fish to the dock - but need to cull the 10 biggest to bring to the scales. Be at the weigh-in site by 3:30PM (local time) or slightly before then.
If you will be on Watts Bar a day or two before the tourney - talk to Don@Eden, Don G/Blackie, Paul & I, or any of the other contestants .... we'll try and point you in the right direction. ............luck2ya ........cp
