Crappie?

[Big Bass Shawn]

I would like to take the kids crappie fishing Saturday and Sunday. I will put in around Big Cedar/Clevenger Cove area, any good crappie spots around the Long Creek/darn areas that anyone know of? I bass fish a lot and have not crappie fished in quite sometime, but would like the kids to enjoy themselves. Any tips or spots would help out a lot. Thanks in advance!!!

Just guessing, but I am going to say it will be mighty tough. IF it were me the way the trout are biting I would consider Taney. Lots and lots of action for the kids, with some very nice fish. Launch at Cooper Creek and float to Branson. You will catch fish and have a great time. Table Rock Crappie this weekend in the Big Cedar area, may not be so kind. Wish I could help more on the Crappie, but believe that deal is getting close to ending, unless you are a real Crappie pro.

Good Luck on your choice As said in the old Raiders of the Lost Ark Movie, you need to choise wisely.

Thanks for the tip Bill. I follow your posts quite a bit and appreciate everything you have to offer.

What's everyone using at Taney? Trout eggs, rooster tails, or is the bite so hot that it really doesnt matter?
