Holy Toledo, those are some nice crappies!

For some reason, I hardly ever run into them.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've caught any. 

(I think it must be the waters I fish - - I assume the technique is more or less the same as for perch, and I've caught my fair share of them).

The technique can be similar to perch occasionally.  However often times the crappie suspend which makes them tricky.

What is your size limit for crappies that makes cleaning them at home worth your effort?

For me it depends on the body of water. Some ponds I fish a 10" is a big fish and if my intentions are to keep a few for dinner, these will work. On other bodies of water, 15-16" are common so anything over 12" hits the cooler.
Just add water.

Where I was 9".  Generally the smallest I'll take as well. 

Dinner was last night.  I think we have 2 more meals left!

There was a night up by you.  F.R.E.D and I met up for smelt.  Couldn't keep the crappie away.  We will have to try there.  Although the place I brought you and Pat will be ready mid week.
