    Default $50 for Long Lining/Dock Shooting Article - this is kinda a contest....please read


    I'd like offer some of y'all the opportunity to make your mark on crappie fishing history. I'm documenting different techniques on a new part of crappie.com which will kinda be an online book on the subject. The intro is here: Crappie Fishing Tips and Techniques - Crappie Fishing

    It describes a number of different ways to fish for crappie, and I'd like to add detail to each of those. I wrote one up about Spider Rigging which can be looked at as an example. It's located here: Spider Rigging How To Guide - Crappie Fishing

    I'd like something similar about Long Lining, and another on Dock Shooting.

    Here's how it'll work. I'll accept 3 applicants for each topic (you'll have to PM me and get my acknowledgement/approval). The applicants will create their article. I'll post the articles here, and I'll also create a poll for our membership to select one Long Lining Article winner, and one Dock Shooting Article winner. The winners will receive $50.

    Please PM me if you are interested.

    I hope this makes sense! Post questions here.

    And especially cause this is a wholly new idea, it's subject to change as we learn what works best.

    If in the future you would like something about what we call "dock pitching" up here, I'd be happy to try and help. We work docks differently than most do down south, may be a regional thing. I'm not sure you can lump it in with dock shooting, as we don't actually go up under the docks with our baits (usually 1-2" of dock clearance). More about boat control and working the outside perimeter.

    This is a great idea. I'm no writer but am looking forward to reading the applicants and the finished product. We have some great writers on here

    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!

    OK, thanks to strmwalker, I think I have Long lining covered, and night stalking covered too.

    Only Dock Shooting is left. Any takers?

    OK, we're going two have a two way shootout for Dock Shooting. This is done. We just have to wait for the articles to come in and we will all vote for the winner. This will be cool. Thanks to all of you. I will publish the articles as they become available.
