I'm planning to try to spider rig and troll to find them and then mark the spot and then hit them with everything I have to enhance my odds. lol

Comment by Allen Morgan on October 8, 2017 at 6:09pm: John, I know the Great Lakes are getting stocked with Lake Trout, and a few of the bigger inland lakes are also stocked. Which ones, I couldn't tell you.

Comment by JWinpisinger on October 8, 2017 at 6:01pm: Thank you Dick, john and Carl! I'm asking because I may have an opportunity to go after some in the coming weeks. One lake has white and the other has black predominately.

Comment by carl hendrix on October 8, 2017 at 10:35am: JW;; ANOTHER WAY TO PUT IT IS;; IS THERE A TASTE DIFFERENCE;; BETWEEN A REDEAR;; AND A BLUE GILL ?? NOPE !! BOTH ARE EXCELLENT TABLE FARE !

Comment by John Sheehan on October 8, 2017 at 7:10am: I never caught or ate a White Crappie , so don't know . I think their usual diet is a little different which may make them taste a little different some times.
