Can someone help me find some crappie...

[fishinvol]

I am wanting to find a mess of crappie for my dad. He and I have been out a dozen times since last fall and he has yet to catch a crappie, I've done ok just not enough keepers. I know everyone and their uncle is back in wolftever, so I don't know if I want to deal with that madness on the weekend. Any hints on where else I could find some. I have a couple ideas,but would like some pointers on what to look for. Depth,structure and so on. Thanks in advance!!emoAngel

There's enough crappie in Wolftever to fill everyone in town freezer! But the general thing you need to look for this time of year is shallow stumps and brush. Crappie are spawning and will be into April in various places around our lake. But you dont have to go back in a creek to find these places. Main lake sloughs with cover, Docks, marinas, and any other shallow structure will attract them. I bet if you find a row of docks with some brush or cover around them, you'll find crappie.

I'll have the flat bottom running by next week, give me a shout and we'll go hunt us up a mess one afternoon. I could use a couple in the freezer!
