[QUOTE="Levee Jumper, post: 5527101, member: 16248"] I would do as much DIY as possible. In terms of going and not knowing anything about the lake, I would go around the first to middle of May to catch the staging/beginning of the bluegill spawn and run yo-yo's at night for catfish. You can catch all the catfish you want on nightcrawler and yoyo's. Jig fishing the cypress trees in 3-5 ft of water on a grizzly jig tipped a wax worm will catch you several big bluegill and an occasional male crappie at the tail end of the spawn. I would refrain from trying to catch crappie in open water on the lower end out of a rental boat. Drifting with the wind with poles out the side turns completely disastrous in the wind and stumps. If you do get a rental boat, don't be the guy that yells for help because his motor will not crank, and its just the kill switch lol. [/QUOTE]
