I went to splitrock res this weekend to see if the crappies wanted to play and man did i have to work to find them. I started out on sat and went to the narrows a place were i always find them and nothing but 2 slime darts and 1 perch went back to the main part and found some crappies at another spot that i find them at i got two 12" crappies and one 14" smallmouth bass moved a bit farther down the shore and got 3 more crappies just before dark then said to myself that i have to come back in the morning where i left them. Day 2 i go to the place that i got them the nite before and only got one 14" crappie moved around a bit and got one other one about the same size i then started to get nervous and said time to go to my old faithful spot and thank god i found them there. I hooked into some of the best crappies that i have gotten so far this season, one at 15 3/4" and the other at 15 1/4" and very black too, these fish are the darkest fish i have caught so far this season. I also caught a 15 1/2" smallmouth there and three more decent sized crappies and called it the day at 4:15pm. the rock is at full pool and gin clear there was a few people enjoying the day and the parking lot was some what trash free i hope it stays that way. It was good to get back to some of my old stomping grounds again i have a lot of good memories of that place.
