I have been living in Madison, MS now for about 7 months now and have never seen a lake were you could not catch large quantities of bluegill but could catch crappie any day any condition. I catch 20 crappie for every bluegill I land on Ross Barnett. Almost unheard of. Of course in Mississippi, they call crappie "white perch". Maybe that is why I catch so many.
Went out for 4 hours this morning. It was very sunny out, so I fished under a bridge for most of the morning. Caught 20 nice keepers (10-14 inch) again the old fashion way. Caught half of them straight lining about 22 feet down in 30 feet of water. The rest were caught on slip bobbers about 10 feet down in 20 feet of water. Only landed one other species of fish, a small channel cat. I did see what appeared to be some incredible striper surface action though. I don't think my 4 pound test would hold up to that.
