I’m in from Oklahoma for the weekend. I haven’t been on Aquila in 20 years. Is it still a decent crappie lake?

Aquilla?.... YES+1  minnows or shad is what you want to use  Crappie should be transitioning by now & feeding up .Fishing @ depths you find the shad balls in should produce bites for ya.

It’s good for skinny 9-11” crappie. They just don’t ever have any shoulders to them. Some guys I know that fished it around 20 years ago, claimed that the crappie use to be heavier before they put white bass in it. The white bass are small in there but maybe they out compete the crappie?

Life journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved state.
But rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy carp what a ride!"

There is an abundance of 9-11 inch fish now it seems.
