I think Im gonna start up a CA members club...yep u guessed it "Crappaholic's Anonymous"...we'll have our meetings down at the LOZ and start it off with a Beer!...oh well if none of you have this problem...I apologize in advance...except for BugMan...that boy got Crappie Blood in him...

russell and Im a crappaholic. I have been this way oh since about the end of duck season. After I spend all my reserves on that I go and spend what I don't have yet on crappie stuff.:D I think this really is a disease. Imagine telling the bossman that you've got to go to crappaholics anonymous meeting......hehehe.

Izzy.......cabelas really......where, when? My mouth just started droolin

Crappie fishing can become a obsession like it has become with me but i would'nt change a thing it is the only thing i know where you can spend all day on the water and go toe to toe with a species of fish [that we all know can be super finicky]that when they are not biting you want to go back the next day and try to figure out what you done wrong or if your lucky and they are tearing it up you cant sleep the night before a trip cause you know what you're in for the next day and as a bonus those white fillet's are as good of eating fish as there is on the planet.Cajun save me a charter membership cause i got it bad,how did ya do at wally world?i'm headed there today after work i need another new reel i broke a bail spring in my okuma.I will get my fix today since i cant fish i can shop for the next time i can.

Yes I will say I am addicted to bait shops/tackle shops like, women are to walmarts. You just never know when you might find a hot new bait that no one else carries. So far I have stubbled on 1 hot bait so far. Still looking for more.

Ted I'm the the same boat you are. Bass Pro just put the Quantum pti reels on clearance. I bought 3 and ordered 3 more 7-9' roods. Plan on buying some curly tail grubs in bulk from barlows tackle. Unfortunatley I can't buy lead heads because they don't sent it out here to Calfornia (have I said that I'm ready to leave this place). Plus I'm trying to find someone that makes horsehead jigs so I can by a bunch. I'm starting to run out. That means I have about 100 left LOL. When's the next meeting?

ST. LOUIS MILLS on 370 rascal, Cabela's web site says opening as early as the fall. It's only 10 mins. from Bass Pro. crappiencali, i'm sold on those pti reels too. Bought one last year and now i've got 4 kenetics and a catalyst, they're smoothest spinning reels i've ever used. Addicted to tackle, you bet I am...izzy

Buggy,
I saw alot of stuff on the clearence rack there at St Roberts, found a 2 pk of Blakemore Roadrunners red/white for 50cents. I also bought one of those slabseeker rod and reel combos...I took it home hacked off the trigger on the handle, turned it over and mounted my UL Quatum spinner..woohoo those lil light-azz bitin crappie better watch out...Man I must have missed 30 fish with that stiff rod the other day...Im sold on that slabseeker rod tip.

Shoot you are right, I'm even scouring eBay for anything that I can get my hands on that is a decent deal. Do I need anything? NO! Will I buy it anyway? YES!!!
