Normally 4 or better, but last year I was on 3 inches over 4 feet of water. ;D
Love those slab crappie, jumbo perch, and always love those bull sunfish. A.F.& A.M.

I would like to get out tomorrow and  live in the east bay area. Could someone let me know where in the Northwestern part of the state may be a good spot? I was considering Little Round Top. Good to see the pictures today. Thanks :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:
