When crappie dot com members share their cheer.
They talk about their baits and jigs
And even show their boats and rigs.
We wish each other all the best
And no one here puts down the rest.
God blessed ol Slab to do his best
And man he surely passed his test
I thank you guys from C.D.C.
For sharing all this wealth with me.

Wannabe...Silent bite, holy cow
Not a fish in any sight
Round yon corner minner and jig
how come my catch is so light?
If I catch one I'll go wild
My post about it won't be mild.
Just one fish for Pete's sake!
shipahoy41A Crappie.com Christmas Carol
(sung to silent night) written by Michael C Carter. 11-30-11
silent night, cloudy night
Wife's asleep
Fish are deep
There are crappies
Big and small
Going to get one
To put on my wall
Get the boat in the water
Get the boat in there now.
Silent night, cloudy night
Thanks to mom
And Crappie.com
Got myself
A keeper
All I did
Was fish deeper
Take the boat from the water
Take it home right now
Silent night, cloudy night
Clean the fish
Make a wish
In the corner
I see my wife
She is happy
There is no strife
Peace and joy to you all
Peace and joy to you all
ShilohRedLakes with crappie fill the night
Jig and Minnows Santa will bring
Minnows and jigs may catch a fish rather then sing
Boat loaded up with bait, off we go to see what bites
Over the hump, thought the cypress stumps
I see a bobber tilting it must be a bite
With Rain deer antlers for rod holders
A red light to show
just where the bit is going to happen on these cold winter nights.
With a big gust of wind and round house swing
here comes a 5 lber swiming along by fin
now we all know the old saying
Now Sardis Now Grenada come on Reel Foot
Pickwick and Ky lake along with Eufaula,
Logan Martin, Weiss lake along with
my Richard Willams jigging rods
Its going to be a long night
Snatching crappie out of the lakes
Filleting them and then frying up a mess
Soo to all the good Crappie.com members
cover your head, Snuggle up to the boat
get a good nights sleep or Mr Slab will not bite.

A Tribute to Smithville Lake, Missouri
Cold water at Smithville’s callin’
And I’m sick and tired of stallin’
Christmas Crappie wrapped in a bow!
Let us go! Let us go! Let us go!
The crappie bite was fantastic
On chartreuse and white soft plastic
There’s a 9 inch length limit, so….
I let ‘em go! Let ‘em go! Let ‘em go!
Now the crappie.com folks say
That there’s limits of fish to be caught
Where are all those big fish today?
In my livewell, you’ll see I’ve got naught!
The bite is slowly dying
And I’ve got no fish for frying
So back in the lake they go
To let ‘em grow! Let ‘em grow! Let ‘em grow!

You better watch out for Crappie.com
You better not cry for bigger fish
Better not pout for losing the big one
I'm telling you why you need to be good
Slab is coming to town
He's making a list for crappie jigs
And checking it twice for hooks, lines and reels
He’s Gonna find out Who's putting out trees
Slab is coming to town
He sees you when you're fishing
He knows when you're catching the limit
He knows if you've been truthful or not
So don’t lie for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out for Crappie.com
You better not cry for bigger fish
Better not pout for losing the big one

An Ode to Wiskers, a CDC Kentucky Lake Legend! (to the tune of Frosty the Snowman)
Wiskers the fisherman, you're a happy jolly soul
with a decked out boat, and a ZEBCO reel, and a BnM fishin pole.
Wiskers the fisherman, can spin a tall tale they say
He knows where to fish, and the Crappie know he'll be catchin them some day.
There must have been some magic in that ZEBCO reel he used
For when he placed it on the pole, all his buddies were amused
Oh Wiskers the fisherman was as skilled as he could be
and his friends all say, he can laugh and play, and catch more than you or me
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Feel them big slabs bite
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Wiskers is eatin filets tonight!

T’was The Night Before Fishing
By
Michael C. Carter
“Shipahoy 41”
December 7, 2011
Twas the night before fishing
And I couldn’t sleep
Crappies were biting
And brush piles were deep
My rods were all stacked
In the boat with great care
As the smell of fresh water
Drifted up in the air
The wife was all snuggled
Upstairs in her bed
I tiptoed out slowly
And not a word was said
I grabbed me some frog togs
And a skull cap too
And prepared to go fish
With just me and just you
Then out in the boat
There was a big noise
I jumped from my chair
To see my three boys
They were jumping up and down
On the brand new boat seat
Looking up in the sky
Seeing Santa was neat!
A little old man
Real fast and real quick
Had brand new rods
Said “Just take your pick”
He had to turn fast
He was running late
He’d been fishing too
And they all took his bait
He had a red suit
He was chubby and fat
Jingle bells were ringing
And he almost dropped his hat
His eyes they did twinkle
He had a nose like a cherry
One thing I noticed
His hands were real hairy
He didn’t speak again
But finished his work
Then grabbed his sleigh ropes
And gave them a jerk
“Now Dasher, Now Dancer
And you Rudolph too
Get a move on
We got more work to do”
We looked in the sky
We watched him leave
Stars under his sleigh
On this Christmas Eve
We jumped in the boat
Just the boys and their dad
This was the best Christmas Eve
That they really ever had
I heard him exclaim as he roared out of sight
Crappie.com is the worlds best fishing website santa

Christmas Poem
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
'SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS.'
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, 'CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.'
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
'MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,!
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.'
This poem was written by a Marine.The following is his request. I think it is reasonable.....
PLEASE. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men,women, and Canadian Forces for our being able to celebrate these festivities.
Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we
owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this small seed.

RANDY THE BLACK NOSED CRAPPIE
(sung to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer)
written by Michael C. Carter - Shipahoy 41
Randy the Black Nosed Crappie
Had a big recessive gene
And if you ever saw it
You might even say things mean
All of the other crappies
Swam around Kentucky Lake
They never let poor Randy
Go into the nest they make
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Ed Moes came to say
"Randy in Kentucky Lake
Read Crappie dot com today"
Now all the crappie love him
And listen to his great advice
Randy the Black Nose Crappie
You will never catch him twice
Now all the crappie love him
'Cause he knows what we do too
Randy the Black Nose Crappie
Is Hiding out from "G" and you.
Merry Christmas from Randy!
