Hey, CH dont get upset. I am only fully agreeing with you. I only know of how it has been in the last 10 years. I CANT imagine what it was like when first formed. And YES I know exactly what you mean about getting hung up. I have on two occasions thought I was going to have to get out of the boat. Only after cranking my 90hp up to WFO did i get off those @(&#$@ tops.
I used to talk to the Freeman guy who was very tight lipped about where and how to catch crappie. He always did do very well.
Yes, I have fished Browns a bunch and Maple a couple of times. Put a few condos in Browns and plan to put in more. I mostly flyfish for bluegills there once the big water gets covered up with PWC's and such. Up until last year it could not be beat for BIG gills. But last year I found three nice beds on Graham and did real well. But since we moved to CG I won't go back.
