John...no crappie camp is scheduled for 2015. The last three were organized by outdoor writer Darl Black and I got an invite last year. It was also a promotional effort for local businesses and tourism departments.

Also, all my Mason Dixon ponds are about 80 miles east of Hancock, so this little gem is not close to you at all. I have, however, heard that Big Pool and Little Pool, backwaters off the upper Potomac, are good for crappie and bonus big pickerel.

Hi John. Nice to meet you. I've heard of Warfordsburg, but I'll have to look it up on the map. Maybe it's close enough we can fish together in the future. I'm a fly fisherman when I'm off of the ice. I hope to land some pan fish tomorrow. My 82-year-old mom loves 'em.

The Best,

Bruce

Thanks for your input on drill/ice auger, I'm 72 and don't like to drill a lot of holes with a hand auger. I have read a lot of positive reviews on the lazer auger. Thanks and good luck on the ice
