I think he was talking about you posting in all caps. Haven't fished that lake before but there are plenty of guys who have. Give the post a little time to be read and you will get some advice...

Have2fish, I agree with Stucky76. Just give your post a little time and keep up with it and answer any questions that others might have. Then the first thing you know you'll have a lot of advice.
Tonight I know of three guys that fish RC a lot have gone to the tournament in Millwood, Ark. That's why they haven't answered you. cheers juggle

Shotgun ear, (sorry couldnt resist) 15 to 25 feet of water bridge piilings lots of throw backs 9" fish must work it hard for keepers. Minnows fish for about 5 to 6 hours and bring at least 1# of minnows

I think it is hard to say exactly what depth they are going to be from day to day. The best strategy, in my opinion, is to start in 15-25 ft. of water and work your way deeper if that doesn't work. Don't be afraid to move if you are not catching keepers. You will find them eventually. If I don't catch a keeper in 15 or so minutes I'm moving on. Just my opinion. The smarter guys on here may have some better advice.

Move, Move, Move, untill you are on the fish you want to catch. And even once you find them, and they start to play out, MOVE ON (don't expect to keep catching them there, once it's over there).

Learn something from that spot you just fished (repeat or revaluate what you just learned) and move to whatever should be your next move (based on what you just learned).

Crappie are hard to catch, day in and day out (that is just how it is).

Watch the moon (directly overhead of underfoot is the best times), watch that and you will see the results being much better on most days/nights during that time, twice per day/night.

Crappie and Black Bass are not the two easiest fish to catch, you just have to move, change patterns, and understand they are not going to bite the same everyday (Crappie and Black Bass more so than most other fish).

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it,

Dont be afraid to try docks on RC. We did well in the past. My personal preference is blue/ white 1 /16 oz jig

Fishing RC or anyother lake only 1 day is tough...
Talk to other crappie chasers and the bait house...
Early they are around 20 - 24 ft deep... by 11 they maybe 30 ft...
First try to find some kind of pattern... juggle
And as Mark said MOVE, MOVE & MOVE again....
Sometimes when I am catching dinks I move to the next column....
If they are at 25 ft more likely they are at that depth on the next column.... if not come up 2 ft and go down 2 ft...
Dont expect to limit out sitting tied up to a column for 3 hours.... realmad
My 2 cents.... cheers

I promise you if you listen to guys like keith and mark they will lead you in the right direction. I've only fished RC about 5 times and their advise put me on the fish my first time out.
