blooper961 Extreme Angler Registered: 12/04/09 Posts: 1539	Now that a lot have chimed in,there is a reason I pit Pat Mayse in my list all the way at Paris.I had relatives up there and Pat Mayse is a lake if you find the crappie schooling,people would fill the freezers for themselves and all the neighbors.

Bass forage...Crappie forage...pretty similar. Not a coincident that every great Bass lake "usually" holds a good population of Crappie too.
