    Default Back to the basics-- I forgot how much fun it is.


    I have spent thousands on crappie equipment, sonars, pole holders, Ect. I keep 21 poles on my boat. I spyder fish, long line troll, crank baits ~& jigs. I have spent thousands on equipment and on and on. In the end, I catch more fish & bigger fish, jigging with one pole straight down. I have caught thousands with all the methods, but in the end, give me one pole & the THUMP!

    Yep. Thanks for sharing. My preference is single-pole cast and retrieve, vertical fishing, and flipping.

    Spaceman- I love casting for them, today they wanted no movement. Up and down only.

    Trypman1: I am glad to hear today you found what worked. I like your one pole preference and wholly like your reference to "back to basics". Something fun and rewarding about one-on-one fishing. I use my 3 preferred techniques until the fish tell me what they want. Congrats.

    Poles are like Kardashian sisters: one is all a man can handle.

    Your not the only one!!! I've done the same thing, now my long rod for trolling and for sprider rigging have been collecting dust for 7 years or more, about 30 of them, vertical jigging and shooting docks is all I do. Catch a lot more fish now than I ever did with 8 rods!

    Roger - I now use my spider rig mount on the bow to hold rods with different baits so I can do a quick switch when single pole flipping, casting, and vertical jigging laydowns and structure.
