I actually guide for crappie from February-April. With a jonboat. It's on the east side of Gainesville, a nice lake with cypress forest. Our biggest crappie are only 12 inches, however, except in rare cases. But we catch plenty of them in 2-3 feet of water, on artificials. I would say 25 to 75 fish per trip. And, we're protected from cold fronts, thanks to the woods. Email me at joe@seafavorites.com if you have any questions.
