Kinkaid Report
Anyone been out to Kinkaid lately? I tried last week but could only find 7-8.5" fish, seems like that's been the norm there for me this year other than a few days this spring.

I caught 3 of my fish in about 12' and 1 in 4'. Not sure what to make of that, I'm fairly new to crappie fishing at Kinkaid and have found it to be pretty challenging for the most part.
