well just sitting here watching the rain, love the rain, and thinking about the slump I have been in cant seem to catch any fish lately. well I came to the conclusion that I need to go back to my ole way of fishing my lakes. I learned from BUGMAN you dont need trees to catch crappie on LOZ and from DRFISHJD you should fish cedars on TRUMAN LAKE and from GONEFISHINGEE and THE HOGSTER I learned shallow and dirty are a good thing,CRAPPIE CHATT said fish hot water shallow and real slow, these are a few of the things I have learned off this site, now having said that I will say this. some times you have to go with what you know not what you learned, so I am going back to the beagle basic slow trolling,and lots of it see if that gets me out of my slump. sure have learned a lot here and hope I have showed a thing or two to ya'll good fishing to you and yours and will report back in a couple weeks... crappie up yall
