Produced by one of the best tricks I've used:
Use lake water to mix - chlorinated is a no no. No minnows no problem.
Good luck out there - we're getting them in AL.

Maybe that's why I never caught one - in FL we caught black crappie (speckled perch is the name there) almost exclusively and here we get white crappie, rarely a black.

In NE Texas they are few and far between.

Ray Hubbard has quite a few of those. Cedar Creek not as many.

I've caught a couple of them on Benbrook. We always called them Magnolia Crappie.
