i live in southern maine and have heard the oldtimers call them calico bass before but for the most part we call them black crappie

[Jigwiggler]

Yeah, most of the people I know refer to them as calico's.  Calico or crappie, they still taste the same!  Mmmmmmm!

of course, i learned to fish from my grandpa (dad doesnt fish), so i learned the old timer way i guess bill

Tim,
There's no one better than an "Old Man" to teach you how to fish

I'm gonna try the flyrod today for some more of those beauties. C&R today....plenty in the freezer.
