I know this may be a taboo question but I'm going for it anyway...b/c I'll help out a fellow angler and hope ya'll do too.

I'm heading to Rough this weekend...yeah, Labor Day weekend. I really don't want to take my boat b/c I know it will be heavy traffic but my uncle, who owns the cabin and the one who invited us, wants me to bring it. Today he mentioned he wants to crappie fish and if I know how. Well, actually, apart from pond fishing when I was 10, I have no idea how to fish for crappie on a big lake.

So here's my question: Can anyone share a hot spot for crappie? I think we are staying on Cabin Creek IIRC...not too far from the island. I know nothing about the lake. He says "find a brushpile"...ok......easier said than done.

Posts above said 10-12 foot of water.....so slip bobbers then right? Or just straightlining down? He doesn't have a lot of patience so I'm hoping they hit good. It's actually good that I looked up and here this thread is today. He and some friends caught 120 last weekend on Nolin.

Thanks for any advice in advance.
