Lake Poinsett is still being drained, but it seems like anglers have figured out how to catch the crappie. Crappie have been biting very well in 20 feet of water at about 16 feet. Minnows seem to be the main item crappie are biting. Bass have been doing well, as have the catfish. Several anglers expressed displeasure with the amount of bluegill they were catching (a bunch). Either way, it is catch and keep as many as you want. Please come and take these fish out of the lake!...
