A friend of mines dad has the bluegill/shellcrackers wired on hat lake. He fishes it a couple of times a week by boat. He complains about the lack of crappie there all the time. Seems to me he is always complaining about a lack of them, so I am guessing the population is low.

When my son was little, his baseball team had a picnic there. I was watching a guy fish from the dam and he caught a largemouth that might have pushed 8 pounds.
