Deep into the creek, we finally found our crappie playground using red/chartreuse & red/white tubes in about 5-7 feet of murky water...it was like every cast made came back with a tug and wow...before we knew it we had caught about 80 crappie...granted, only about 8 were keepers, but the fun was definitely there!
