Thread: crappie dot com and fishing

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

i hear ya mr. mike...those same thought's go through my mind all the time. sometime's a man just has to get back to the basic's and do what he know's and does best. i think a lot of it is the individual's confidence and what he feel's comfortable doing. good luck! hope you get out of your slump...did'nt look like you were in a slump when i saw ya. good fishing

I hear ya Beagle. I've learned alot since finding this site. Still alot more to learn but it sure is a fun process.

Beagle we have done the same thing many times. We have learned alot off this site also and hope we have helped others. If nothing else supplied a few good laughs.:D I told Polebender the other day to use the kiss method & havent heard from him since. Hope he new what the Kiss method was

Keep It Simple Stupid = Kiss?

Beagle....If you're in a slump,,,Then I must be in the Tidy Bowl!! I can feel it, OUR time is a COMMING!

beagle is always in a slump when the freezer isn't full.

Mike you are lucky, some of us were born in a slump!

I was a little nervous when JJ starting talking about this kiss method, and thought maybe he just needed a little time alone with Mrs. JJ.:D

I do a lot of analyzing for a living and naturally this rolls over into my fishing and earlier this year my son reminded me that we used to catch a lot more fish when we just went fishing. I have learned a lot from you guys about different methods and I need to remember that there are a lot of different methods that work but what I know works more times than not.

i have to agree... i think we all are analayzing the crappie too much. how smart can they be ?? i mean hell .. would you eat something that has a hook in it ?? i quit im going back to the basics
