Every year when I was a kid, come March, it was time to go crappie fishing.
My family has a place off Wheeler Lake in Lauderdale County, and it was a prime location for crappie. We’d grab a bucket of minnows and some casting reels and hit the stick-ups in a green, flat-bottom boat.
Over the course of a few weeks, we would catch enough crappie to freeze and have a fish fry every couple of weeks for most of the summer. There’s nothing that comes close to that today…
