Hello all , just wandering if any one has been gettin many Crappies ? Me and my son have went out the past 2 weekends and have done really well. I have 35 real nice fillets in the freezer <!--graemlin::)--> . Has been the best Crappie fishin in a long time for us. Hope you all are getting in on the action. The biggest ones we have caught ths year are 13- 15" range but very nice fish. Good Luck all <!--graemlin::cool:-->

I was checking the Illinois for a friend who fishes in your state. He like the river fish from the Mississippi, Illinois Rivers. He lives near alton, ILL. We work together in st. Louis, MO.

He offten brings me some bluegill & crappies all clean & frozzen. All I have to do is cook it.

He was telling me some of the crappies has a worm or something in them. some as big a dime & smaller. He toss them out & want to know if they are alright to eat if you cut around it. I myself have not found any here in MO.

I mostly fish in Lake's more so then in rivers.

thank you in advance.

Ernie
