You know if the pro's use them there must be a reason. Fish can smell very well .Sunscreen and gasoline to name a few are not a natural smell. Many people believe thats how
spawning ocean fish find...

I use it and have good luck with it. The pro cure I got on amazon and is pure anise oil, not a percentage. It masks human scent and is a powerful attractant.

I love this time of year because the lake settles down to normal . All the people who think they can just throw a line in and limit out are gone.
Taylorsville can be challenging.

Well it wasn't easy and we had a hard time our first year out. But we persisted and one day I asked a nice guy with his son about crappie fishing at a gas station and he said no swivels and use...

Yeah that would do it hugh. We clean our fish at home. I wish there was a place to clean them there. A place with power so I could use my
super swift electric filet knife.

Thanks dannyr3_8. I must confess it comes in handy for me also. Nice thing is after you come in ,just pull out the bag , tie a knot and its in the dumpster.

Three years ago when I got the bug I was looking at John boats and my wife talked me into a full on deep hull 75 HP ( low hours
on the motor ) used boat. Its all set up with swivel seats ,...

Well guys my hats off to all women who venture in to fish with their men. I knew my wife was invested when she caught
her first fish and I saw the look in her eyes. Also when she spent all day out...

My wife and I got out about 730 A.M. at Settlers Trace . The lot was only 1/3 full. We went to our favorite spots and did our usual thing.
We have been fishing there for three years now and i am...

Oh yeah good fishing CrappiePappy.

Yes sir been there and done that. Just being on the water doesn't mean you will get fish. Same thing when one person in the boat catches all the fish. What your using and how your using it
means a...

My wife and I took a drive to Settlers Trace to do pre spring recon. Arrived at around 10:30 A.M. and parking lot was full on both sides all the way down with trucks and empty trailers. Water wasnt...

Thanks for the update. We are retired and have been married 30 years this July. All our three children have left the nest. Its awesome that your wife and wives in general decide to
fish. Heres a...

Sweet....thanks for the report.

Settlers Trace is the ramp we use. Crappie fishing was smoking hot last month. I do think its returned to its normal pace productivity wise.We sat over the fish Monday and threw everything at them...

Ha ha....thats for darn sure. Thats what will happen too . People will go out and find it hard fishing and the word will go out that
the spawns over. The parking lot at Settlers Trace will turn to...

I am of the opinion that the spawn doesn't happen in a two week period or even longer. I think there will be great opportunities through May.
I am also of the opinion that there will always be a...
