Thanks bd. You know I have caught a lot of Crappie over the years. Nickajack produces some of the most consistently large Crappie I have ever gotten into. I know the 3 Super lakes in Mississippi give up 3 pound crappie on a regular basis but that is just not common anywhere else. In talking with a gentleman down there yesterday..and he Crappie fishes a lot...he told me that since the limit was changed about 3 years ago from 30 to 15 it has made a huge difference in the size of fish. Yesterday was a strange day as for the way Crappie fight. The Crappie I caught in the shade would give me that constant big slow pull that lets you now it was a Crappie on the line. Then when I started fishing the banks in bright sunshine each time I hooked one of those Slabs I thought I had a White Bass...giant Bluegill or something else besides a Crappie...those in the Sun really fought hard.


Regards
