Default private lake fishing

I went to a private 15 acre lake with a few friends Friday night and
Saturday. This lake is known for large bass and some nice crappie. I
know of one bass over 13# that came from there. We wanted some crappie
to fillet, so we set up a light at night and tried several crappie lures
with no luck, so we got off the lake until morning. Most of us decided
to target bass the next morning, so sunup found us throwing topwaters,
still no luck. One guy pulls out a swim bait and lands a nice crappie.
Two of us start throwing rattling crankbaits and the crappie start
getting bigger. I switch to a spinnerbait and land another crappie.
Another buddy goes to a spoon and gets a crappie. When we go to
Texas-rigged 7-1/2" ribbon tail worms, we catch a few bass. Total, 9
crappie (all over 12") and 5 bass (1-1/2 to 2-1/2 lbs) I would not have
expected to catch more than one crappie on a rattletrap, and never
dreamed the crappie would outnumber the bass using bass lures. The only
bait we used Saturday that didn't catch crappie was the worm.
