Good job, Russ, and great post. Thanks for sharing.

You're right Russ, a good fisherman will never run out of fish no matter how many people you help. And I get about as much satisfaction hearing back from others, that I helped, who caught fish and had a good day, as I do catching them myself. And most of my posts of successful days fishing I can attributed to guys like you who taught me how to fish, and recently a lot of my success is because of c.com. And for that I thank all who contributed to that end. Not too long ago I was putting my boat in at lake Erling, a lake I fish a lot, and a gentleman that I've "known of" who fishes that lake exclusively and is probably the resident expert, came up to me and asked me if I was going to be fishing "white perch lake" and I told him yes. Then he said, if you don't have any luck within 30 minutes then come back south and look for my boat, maybe I can help you out. Well I did just that, didn't have any luck, came back and found him. He gave me 2 or 3 tied jigs, my first to ever use, and of a particular color, orange, pink and green, and some instructions on where and how he was using them. I limited out that day because he helped me and I learned something new about crappie fishing. And I thought to myself "now that's the kind of fisherman I want to be, unselfish."

Well said Russ!!!


I have always tried to post a report with new stuff or techniques that have worked for me. I am great at making others mad when I do this but don't care lol. I don't have to get on here with every post and say what I pro staff for because in all honesty I use more than just there products. I don't know many folks who just use one companies stuff. There are multiple companies that sell great stuff and what can be found with one company may not be found with the others. Everyone knows the folks that try to promote there products all the time. It gets old for sure. I personally don't care what body of water ya fish as I can find and catch my own. I like to see depths and techniques as that is more useful info. I have no problem when someone says what they used to catch fish even if they are there sponsor. What also gets tiring is when ya know some folks don't fish or rarely fish sponsor of friends stuff and post like they use it all the time. It gets old when ya know people are being called and asked to post on products because they need to sell stuff. It gets old when ya hear the only reason I use this stuff is cause they gave me the stuff free!! If the products are good then all this behind the scene crap wouldn't be occurring.

These people I know and have fished with and listened to there stories about what I have said. It's just not in me to do that kinda thing.


If you have been around for any period of time it's not hard to figure out where the folks are fishing any ways lol. I have met and helped a lot of folks on and off the water. I just like to fish and enjoy the therapy of the great outdoors. Some folks may or may never learn that giving is better than receiving.

Post pix with or with out lakes like has been stated. I personally like to see everyone's success pix!!

Good post Russ, the info you post on here has helped me be a whole lot more productive in a very over pressured area, especially without the grass beds to fall back on. Thanks!!!

Good mess of fish. Glad you caught a bunch.

Well said Guys. Nice catch Russ. I think some have no problem at giving very useful information that a new guy like myself likes to read and put in his arsenal.

Great post Russ! Wish I would have seen this before I went out today.

I look forward to each of your post ... Conway is the toughest of the lakes that I frequent and I have enjoyed reading and learning from your post. Keep Catchin and Keep Postin!!!!
