5/1/2009 5:53:00 PMOh yeah, tried that too. I've read about all the small crappies in there so I thought, Worm+hook+bobber=small fish. Tried and true right..... Nothin... o well

Cast out and retrieve with a jigging motion parallell to the lilly pads. Maggots will out fish worms for crappie every time. Keep doing what your doing for bass, they'l l turn on soon. good luck

5/2/2009 7:09:00 AMDon't feel bad. I have had the same experiences the last 4 times out. I have fished Cassidy many times and despite the reports that they stock the lake with thousands of trout, I have never experienced a decent bite at this lake. Keep at it!
