Bob O,
Great report, very informative. We will be up from Long Island on the 23rd. We would have been there this weekend but due to other factors we had to push it back. By time we get there the crappie bite will more than likely be a done deal, but a week away from home and work......who cares. We stay with Dave Roll down on Fisherman's Landing. I dont know where Hogback is but we do fish Lonesome bay and big bay. We will try your tips and hopefully we can come up with at least dinner, if not crappie we will eat Pike......we are not picky.
Once again, great report.

Thank you, I found it on the map. it's all the way at the other end of the lake. it will be a nice little run with our tiny 15 hp but we will go for it at least one day. It was closer to the log cabins where we stayed yrs go.

Horton,
Try for crappie at a rock that is submerged just north of jennies island. This is on the north end by Mitchell bay. North of Jennie say 100 yards are three buoy anchor just inside the middle buoy and cast into the rock. We had good luck there in the past.
Good luck!
Bob

just back from our annual trip to blk. lake. We are crappie fisherman and did great.v The weather was perfect. They were biting friday over in the tavern Is. area, as well as, big bay - we were working 2-poles and couldn't keep up. The area was a morning and evening bite. I also caught a few bull-heads, a northern and a small channel cat. It was a great weekend.
