    Default planning a trip


    if i recall i may have posted this earlier last year, but i sort of got bitten by crappie fishing, since the freeze is here in North east PA, curious where and how far i have to travel for some decent weather and good crappie fishing. hoping i can drive to my destination in a full day of driving 700 miles max. and find a place to stay for a few days.

    Hiring a guide may be the most important thing, taking a lot of hit and miss out,and puts much of the responsibility, knowledge, and safety on the guides shoulders. Your chances for success go way up,may actually save money.

    I agree, can you mention some lakes heading south that might be worth a look at, then i can check for guides and places to stay, will be heading out after my wife's next cancer check near end of feb.

    thanks

    Chet, guys in Virginia seem to be catching some nice slabs. Go on their page and see, then ask some questions. Next would be North and South Carolina.

    Not sure if South Carolina falls into your geographic travel range, but that’s where I’d be looking.

    I'm on the other side of the country, or I would help. I don't think I have caught a single crappie outside my home state.

    I believe you could stay pretty busy around lake hart well and lake Murray in SC.
