If you go from the boatdock (no fishing right there off the dock) around the cove to the first small point.. that is bass point.. the net bigger point (biggest in the map) is crappie point.. once you get to that area there are lots of overhanging bushes and limbs etc.. small saplings coming up .. that type of thing...
the only crappie I have ever caught in my life was on a small golf course pond in May of last year (or year before .. damn memory).. I was using a 5 wt rod and a med size foam popper.. I was casting as far as I could across a mild wind and then letting the wind/water action bring the popper back into a small trees with branches that were hang over or into the water.. and then slow retrieve back to me... I got a hard hit on the slow retrieve so did it all again.. this time as the popper went under the limbs just above the water I got a hard hit.. lifted the rod.. and bingo... my first (and only ) crappie on any type of rod.. LOL'
we will see what happens this weekend... [
