Thanks tadpole for the post. About all this weather is good for is for remembering the fishing trips, making crappie jigs and getting your gear straightened up. I am reading post relating to eletronics, fishing methods,rods, reels and anything else that comes to mind. Warmer weather is coming if we can just get over this little cold spell. Then the fun will start over again, I guess this is God's way of giving us and the fish time to reflect on our many blessings. Everyone sit tight and keep safe so we can enjoy fishing when it finally warms up.......crappie1133
