Crappie bite on mcwinnegar was almost nonexistant. It could turn on any day though.

RE: Fresno - I caught a really nice crappie just off to the right of the walleye boat launch in that bay with the boat this summer.  Didn’t catch any others on the lake that weekend though. Worth a try there though.

Snappys can get you everything you need. Petes tackle (aka whiptail) is also a wealth of information on crappie fishing.
