for a serious crappie getaway:
1. if there is water in it, san carlos. on the res no services except dirt camping. big fish big numbers.
2. bartlett. north of fancy scottsdale. decent camping undevloped but crowded or big buck resorts. numbers but not size except occasionally.
3. alamo. out in the middle of nowhere. nice camping facilities even electric. reserve ahead of time. nice fish decnt numbers.
4. rosey. outside of lovely globe, which also serves san carlos, with many cheap hotels and very nice camping at the lake. big fish tough to get to bite. much is new here lake down to 60 percent from full last couple years and some would put it at the top of the list. not me toughest bite of all and lots of snags. san carlos is what some might call stupid fishing and rosey the master challenge to over come. my view is theyre just panfish lets winch them babys in and eat tacos.
get back to us a few weeks before ya boogey and well advise then.
im gueesing late march would be my choice to make sure things have started and water hits low 60s.
