    Default Thanks to Crappie.com ...


    I ate fish tonight I joined crappie so I could use the advance search function to research small fish and shore fishing. I have been catching crappies under the legal size ( 9 inches) with small crappie tubes. One of the threads suggested using 2 1/2" tubes for larger fish. I could not find any tubes that size, but did buy some 1/8 oz black chartreuse crappie road runners. There was a thread on road runners that was very informative and the reason I purchased them. They produced 3 nice crappies that was a good meal for the wife and me!


    I grew-up in northern Minnesota and we would fish crappies through the ice with minnows. I fished only once in awhile on vacations for nearly 50 years. A couple of winters ago, we moved our snowbird location from near the Gulf Coast to the middle of Florida. I started catching bass up to five pounds off the shoreline and docks ... I was hooked on fishing again. Last winter, on a lark, I used my ulti-lite and casted some small trout lures off the dock ... caught large bluegills the size of crappies in Minnesota ... I was hooked again on fresh pan fish for supper

    I fish Banner Marsh in Illinois ... one of the best place for Bass ... probably not saying much relative to Florida I knew there were nice crappies because last fall I caught several large ones on a 7/16oz Strike King Midnight Spinner ... that's a big hook! I am looking forward to trying some other suggestions I found in the forums.

    To the forum and glad your learning some new things about pan fishing in your area.
    Lots of knowledge to be gleaned on this subject, and as long as we continue to eat good food
    that is healthy for our brains, we will continue to be subject to learning more about our species
    of choice. Have known of several friends I met in the service from Minnesota that have opted
    for warmer climes, even here in Texas. Acclimation is important, as we refuse to be swayed
    towards ideas foreign to our own ideas. Really, I'm seriously kidding in some ways, but.....
    serious in others. Some folks are just more prone to messin' with other peoples minds, and
    I'm seriously guilty in one or two of those areas. Enjoy all that is offered and laugh loudly
    when the opportunity presents itself.
