Old Dw's Friday Bucksaw Report

[DMW1960]

Since This Was Only My 3rd Trip To Bucksaw Ever I Used Alot Of Time Scouting New Fishing Areas And Areas That Folks Have Talked About On This Board.

Wife And I Fished The Hard Woods And Tree Tops In 20 To 40 Foot Of Water Caught A Lot Of Nojoes, White Bass, Perch And Even My First Black Bass On Truman It Wasn't Legal. But It Was The First I Have Caught On Truman Using Crappie Jigs. Normally On Pomme I Get Alot Of Bass On Crappie Jigs. I Used Mostly My Bright Mustard Yellow And Chart Or A John Deere Green And Chart Or A Bright Kind Of A Lime Chart Jigs. Wife Was Using Minnows. She Had Some Luck Drifting In Coves. She Was Able To Get Her First 13 Plus Inch Crappie. I Think She Ended Up Getting About 3 Almost 14 Inchers.
We Ended Up With 18 Keepers Over 10. Learned Alot About That Area Of Truman. Alot Of People We Talked To Were Not Catching Fish.

Sorry Didn't Take Any Pictures, Ended Up Putting In About 5 Am And Finally Got Off The Water About 7:30 Pm. We Had About A 30 To 45 Minute Wait On The Water At The Ramp Trying To Get Loaded. Should Have Had A Movie Camera And Some Pop Corn! It Was A Great Show. One Poor Guy Got His Boat Half Off The Trailer And Had To Reload It. He Forgot To Put The Plug In. Another Fellow Tried To Launch His Boat Off His Trailer Without Removing The Motor Support From The Trailer First. He Also Had To Reload His Boat And Pull Out Of The Water. Sorry If You Guys Were Crappie.com Members But It Was Funny Watching You.

Sorry My Report Is Kind Of Late. Got In Late Last Night Back To Springfield And Had To Get Out Of Here Early This Morning. But I Knew Oss Would Give A Good Report.

YEP SOMETIMES THE FISHING ISN'T THE BEST PART OF THE TRIP. WATCHING THE GUYS AT THE RAMP WAS A BLAST! AND WATCHING WIFE WHO JUST STARTING CRAPPIE FISHING LAST YEAR GET INTO SOME 13 INCH PLUS FISH WAS NICE TOO. JUST LIKE LAST WEEKEND I WATCHED MY PARTNERS EYES ALMOST POP OUT OF HIS HEAD WHEN HE GOT HIS FIRST 13 INCH PLUS FISH! HE WAS SO PROUD OF IT AND ALSO THE FACT THAT 13 CRAPPIE WAS THE MOST HE HAD EVER CAUGHT AT ONE TIME! I THINK HE IS ABOUT TO DROP HIS BASS ROD FOR A CRAPPIE ROD.

Don't forget to try black and chart and you might try my new favorite color blue and chart made by Blakemore called crappie thunder, I just buy the bodies and use on a 1/16 oz jig head hot pink first choice with hot chart seconded choice. Good luck!

LOL BUGMAN WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF I TOLD YOU THAT SHE WENT THRU MY CRAPPIE BAG AND RELOADED ALL MY LITTLE BOXES THE OTHER DAY WITH SKIRTS? SHE HAD TO GO THRU OVER 20 TO 25 OF THOSE 24 COMPARTMENT BOXES TO FIND THE COLORS I WAS OUT OF OR NEEDED MORE OF.

BLACK AND CHART IS ONE OF MY STANDARD COLORS, I DON'T GO WITHOUT SOME IN THE BAG. I KIND OF LEARNED ABOUT BLUE AND CHART ABOUT A MONTH AGO ON POMME. I WATCHED A GUY FISH A DOCK WITH JUST A WHITE JIG WITH A MINNOW ON IT. HE WAS CATCHING FISH AND WHEN HE LEFT HE TOLD ME WHAT TO USE. I PULLED UP THERE AND COULDN'T GET NOTHING ON WHITE. SO I HAD A JOHN DEERE GREEN AND CHART ON AND A BLUE AND CHART ON THE BOTTOM. I HAD NEVER USED A BLUE AND CHART. THEY AIT IT UP! I GOT SOME OF MY LARGEST FISH ALL SPRING LONG FROM POMME WITH BLUE AND CHART.

I USE SOUTHERN PRO BECAUSE I CAN GET 100 PACKS OR LARGER. WHEN YOU ARE STOCKING 2 CRAPPIE BAGS 10 OR 20 PACKS JUST DOESN'T GET IT DONE. I HAVE A GREAT GUY WHO SENDS ME A CATALOG AND I CAN ORDER ONLINE FROM HIM AND PAY BY PAYPAL. HE SHIPS FAST AND HE IS HONEST. PLUS HE FISHES ALOT SO HE KNOWS CRAPPIE AND ALWAYS HAS SOME IDEAS. AND HE IS A MISSOURI BOY! HE TURNED ME ON TO P-LINE. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH CRAPPIE FISHING IS TRYING TO KEEP STOCKED UP ON ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS. YOU END UP GOING TO YOUR TACKLE STORE AND TRYING TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING YOU NEED AND FORGETTING THE MOST IMPORTANT COLORS. OR YOU LOAD A PLASTIC BAG WITH ONE OF EACH COLOR YOU NEED AND HOPE SOMEONE HASN'T JUST BOUGHT THE LAST PACKAGE ON THE RACK OF WHAT YOU WANTED.

THIS DEAL IS GREAT FOR ME. I HAVE A PRINTED CATALOG THAT I CAN MARK WHICH COLORS I OWN. I CAN TAKE INVENTORY OF ALL MY MASTER BOXES ABOUT ONCE A YEAR AND MARK WHAT I NEED. THEN I CAN ORDER ONLINE WITHOUT FIGHTING THE CROWDS, AND GET A PRICE BREAK FOR PURCHASING 100 PACKS OR LARGER. AND WHEN YOU KEEP OVER A 100 PLUS DIFFERENT COLORS ON HAND THAT IS IMPORTANT.
