Pat- Thanks for your thoughts on the crappies. It sounds like it would be better to wait until it warms up some before I try it down there. I do have a fish finder on the boat, and it is always fun to explore. I have shore fished the north marina before without much luck on the crappie, and thought that my odds would improve in the boat with the finder. Maybe that way I could locate the schools like you said. Years ago I fished the crappie in Newton and had a blast. I hated to see the place go down hill with its low water problems. I hope there are enough left to eventually repopulate and thrive again in Newton. What time of the year does the "spring fling" start? I assume that is around the spawning time, correct? Thanks, Acey
