Springfield Lake

i was just wonderin what part of the lake would be good for crappie fishing, or would i need to stay up in the river.

I would be surprised if you even caught a crappie in lake springfield. Given there should be some in there but my guess is the population has dwindled down to very few. Try McDaniels, there's a good amount there but with the heavy pressure from fisherman they are quite small.

There's good numbers of Crappie in Lake Springfield - I haven't really got a good pattern on them in Fall though. I would try any deeper timber on steep banks out of the current.

THanks for the info. the bass are a hit and miss every now and then.
