On the idea of lakes matter, I think it depends on fish population. High rock has a tremendous amount of crappies compared to Wylie. So from the reports and what I've seen there is more are caught on HR than Wylie at any given time. I don't long line as I use to but Wylie does not have that population that it had 30 years ago. Since perch were added as a another species to fish for. Perch almost destroyed in my opinion the crappie population we had. Bass fellows are starting to see a decrease in there numbers and size. Two floods in recent years didn't help either. :dono
