Hello! Questions on Crappie fishing

[roblough]

Hello everybody,

I'm new to NC Angler and I'm a crappie enthusiast who knows a little about crappie fishing but not a whole lot. Does that make sense? How can I say I'm a crappie enthusiast who doesn't know "a whole lot" about it? Sort of contradictory, huh? I grew up fishing Ky Lake and went back there last year with a guide and brought back a cooler full. I live in Waynesville, NC and I can't find anyone who fishes or even guides for crappie on the lakes here in the mountains. I'm most intersted in Fontana where I'm told there are a lot of crappie, nobody is fishing for them, but they are hard to find and hard to catch because the lake is so deep and the water level is always fluctuating so much...................messing with the spawn, etc. Any thoughts?
