Thanks for all the great info. Im new to Crappies, going on my second year. Went out Saturday with the boy in 15 fow and caught about 50 Crappie, 2-3' down on a point with logs. Kept two 11", and threw the rest back. The rest were 7-9". Best thing I learned is to use the slip bobber, and when it goes from vertical to horizontal.....Fish On!
