I live here fish dayily and a good limit of crappie gets more attention than 4.5 lb small mouth. Its a beautiful lake, just not a lake your typical fishing style, or aproach is productive.With that said, hope you get to visit
go to the smalljaw site mentioned, an read an reread everyday till you head this way.
if I can be of any help just prior to your arrival the day before email me I have a dock buddy who is staying on top of them (crappie), will help if I can.
