Gonna Chase A Few Crappie

[Biglerma]

Headed down today to Shell Knob. Going to try our luck with the crappie for a few days. Will fish Kings River mostly. We usually run up past Viola. I think I'm bringing the entire tackle store with me, so hopefully we can trick a few into biting. I have to scout the way as I have my dad and 83 yr old grandpa flying up from Mobile AL next weekend to do some fishing. My grandpa has owned our place in Shell Knob since 1972. I haven't had the chance to fish with him at Table Rock in years since he lives so far away and doesn't make it back very often. Hopefully we can find some fish and have a few laughs.

I've been reading the crappie posts, but most are from the other end of the lake. If anyone has any tips on how deep the fish are or what they have been biting on to point us in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Thanks!
