My brother and I got a chance to spend some quality time together this past week. Booked a guided crappie fishing trip with Carl Painter of Sardis Lake, MS.\<br /\>\<br /\>We left Chattanooga a balmy 54\* and by the time we got to Sardis the temperature was 41\*! The next morning the day of our fishing expedition the morning air was about 27\* leaving frost on the truck windshield. It did manage to get up to just shy of 50\* by the end of the day. (What is this stuff about Global Warming??) I thought the dogwoods would be blooming that far south.\<br /\>\<br /\>The crappie caught at Enid Lake have to be better than 12&quot; to keep. You can keep up to 20 per person or 50 per boat. It is truly a crappie trophy lake. The first crappie caught was 14-1/2&quot; and the second crappie caught was 15-1/2&quot;. In total for the day we caught 18 crappie with 16 of them 14-1/2&quot; or better. The two shorter fish were 12-1/4&quot; and 13-3/4&quot;. It only takes 8 Enid Lake crappie to make 12…honest. After filleting them out we had a little better than 12 lbs. of fillets. Yum, Yum.\<br /\>\<br /\>The water temp. was 43\*. We fished with minnows (spider rig).
