If Crappie fishing were a religion, then February, March and April would be the high holidays on Lake Oconee..

Without exception, more huge crappie are caught during these months than any other time..

Patrons from all over the country make their annual pilgrimage to Lake Oconee to be rewarded with bountiful catches..

Specks, Croppie,  Sac-au-lait, Perch, or our favorite term, "BrokeNecks"...whatever you call them, Lake Oconee produces your favorite name brand year after year..

And our favorite  way to catch the big fish is to spider rig. The slow presentation with a dozen options are always the favorite pattern for the big girls..

My new Ranger 2360 allows three anglers to comfortably fish up front and get in on the action. It was designed with spider rigging in mind!
