back when I met a fella with an almost limited out stringer one night on the bank. told me he had a stringer full of BLACK crappie ! Thought WOW , there is about zero "black" crappie in that lake and strolled over to have a look at them .... He drags out stringer full of male white crappie and says "see there all black crappie" ! :yikes I...

Whatever happened to that fella , ain't seen him around anymore ?:dono

Been struggling with a bad right shoulder and been pushing surgery back. Wednesday i picked up a gallon of water in a five gallon bucket. Guess i didnt lift with my legs cause i ruptured my bicept tendon. That put a running clock on getting my surgery. Luckily because i had been working with ortho off and on they was able to find me a spot. May...

I'm also curious if this is more a pond thing than lake. Once the water warmed in my pond, about 20 or more sunnies were cruising just below the surface in a large school swimming in the same direction parallel to shore. A bass was swimming beneath them. It was a bright sunnie day with wind around 5-10 mph, water temperature I'm sure warmer near...

First ties in over 10 days, might be a record for me. Got sick for the first time in over 10 years with a cold that turned into a sinus and upper resperitory infection. Finally starting to feel better so spent some time at the vise. Some 1/8 walleye heads tied using fox and coyote hair and spike it dyed tails. Did a few finesse baits as well. I...

They will be there last weekend so wanted to check out their usual spots. Check. So went back and made breakfast for my buddy, duck eggs and sausage with some of my daughters schwabbery jam. So pod. Then time to get fishing. Had stopped up at usual spots and talking to folks and watching not much was happening so decided to go to different...

BUT they is BACK ! looks like the last go to me for sure this time , thought they were gone for good , but this here cold front that rolled thru and heavy rain chilled the water back down and a big moon came along and low and behold there they are just a hammering away in short water AGAIN ! :highfive Mind you this , not a clue if they would...

When you have fishing bred into you through generations of fisherman, there comes a "sense" whether the crappie are there or not. This year my "sense" told me they were not., and they werent----BUT today Mid April i have the sense they are here bedding a last go---and waiting on me, Crappiegirl1 to come out and play. I havent even smelled them...

I know this is a long shot but have a friend who broke the butt section of a ERFS-67SULT-ST-TZ Slow Taper Special, 6'7". Any body have a broke top that would be willing to part with the butt section. Scott

Broke out the bass gear . Did not want to get to Sardis to turn around . Caught 17 on mainly Bass pro shop ribbon tail worms . A few on a buzz bait .All go back to thin the red ear which is how we fish when not chasing the thump .lol

Went for right at 3 1/2 hours today and caught a few, nothing spectacular. Stayed North of the W Bridge. Cleaned a half dozen but all nice and all Males. I'd say getting close. See what the rain does? Lost a few right on the bank, they were just taking swipes at the jig. I was told by a guy we were fishing by the bite really picks up abut...

Great weather , partly cloudy low to mid 70’s . The wind 8-18 mph was the only issue we had weather wise . We fished four boat ramps in the four hours we were there . I took the best tools for the job today , a couple XUL’s . Perfect for the small gills we caught . 28 for my fishing buddy , 31 for me . Combos were a 5’6” Daiwa Trout X XUL...

Magnet Fisherman Retrieves Key Evidence in a 9-Year-Old Murder I love fishing creeks and for the most part I’m always alone. Sometimes when out there the mind wonders in things like this possibly finding something you wish you hadn’t. Sent from my iPhone using Crappie.com

Well, i decided to change to Garmin for my navigation at the console. I’m seeing a lake level offset ( like lake master ). Is it available on the 93sv with lakevu maps? I’m not finding the setting. I hope this isn’t a pay for upgrade Sent from my iPhone using Crappie.com

Thank you takeum so much for the tales. They are awesome. Will put them to good use.

Many years ago, my dad had a friend (Albert) who tied jigs we used for striper fishing. The jigs were marabou with a round lead head. He tied the marabou in a way where the thread was totally hidden. The marabou went right up to the jig head and none of the thread could be seen. Sadly, Albert passed away several years ago. I've always wondered...

I watched this video, and I cringed about all the foam they seal into the hulls and stringers of boats these days. It's great when new, but if water does get into this foam, it's not going anywhere. My recent project has shown me that. Here's where I break into a sealed compartment in my 1996 Sprint Fiberglass boat and "find a lake". ...

Planning my first trip to Toledo bend at the end of May. What would be a good area to camp at? Where would be a good place to start looking for some crappie? Sent from my iPhone using Crappie.com

I used ActiveCaptain to upload 35.10 on my GPSMap 8610xsv and am experiencing flickering on my LiveScope screen that goes from a perfect view to a smudged flickering view then back again. Adjusted multiple settings including gain to no avail. Anyone else experience this? Sent an e-mail to Garmin as there is a 1 plus hour wait on the phone. ...

I wouldn’t mind pulling the trigger for one of these if I could find one at a reasonable price. Anything priced well is out of stock or the length of the rod isn’t listed. What I’ve found is stating $80+shipping, and they go up from there. I have 6’6” rods that don’t get much use so I don’t believe I need a longer version. I don’t know all of the...
