I'm hearing from someone who fishes west branch , that it will be a hard day of fishing . That the larger crappie go on a diet in the winter . Well I'm thinking that we will see some giants again at weigh in . This will be a midwinter bite , for crappie this is suspended in the basin time . Who ever fishes the hardest and keeps on the move will come out on top . So I'm looking forward to seeing who takes it home on the 8th of February , my guess is that it will be a threepete . Any bets ?
