James Bendele's reports have not been good for crappie this year, but I bet with the flooded growth this year for the spawn that the next few years are going to be crazy good on Falcon.

In 2023 some publication (i can't remember which) published their top 25 crappie lakes for numbers/size and their top 10 for trophy crappie. Below is the trophy crappie list. Yes, I saved it. Lake Fork is the only Texas lake to make the top 10 for trophy size. No surprise on the top lake.

1 Grenada Lake, Mississippi
2 Lake Washington, Mississippi
3 Arkabutla, Sardis and Enid Lakes, Mississippi
4 Alabama River, Alabama
5 Lake Fork, Texas
6 Santee Cooper, South Carolina
7 Kentucky Lake, Tennessee/Kentucky
8 Lake Talquin, Florida
9 Lake D'Arbonne, Louisiana
10 Eufaula, Ok

When in doubt, set the hook.

Arkabutla is gone and Washington sucks. It got scoped out KY Lake seems to be making a comeback from the Asian carp invasion. I’ve fished half that list. Can’t speak for the others.
