Thread: Welcome new members

Hello everyone, I just joined the forum and have already learned a lot. I'm from North Carolina and fish local likes such as High Rock, Lake Norman, Tuckertown, & Badin. I grew up cane pole crappie fishing with my grandfather and family...a lot of good memories. As I got into my 20's & 30's I got very involved in tournament bass fishing as well as taking my kids crappie fishing as they were growing up. My kids are now in their teens and I have came full circle back to crappie fishing and my son is right there with me. There's just something about the simplicity of kicking back with a cork & minnow or getting more serious and breaking out the slingshot on piers. Anyway, I'm sure I will enjoy this forum and look forward to learning new methods to catch more slabs.

Welcome from Indiana

Hello fellow crappie anglers. I am from Northeast Indiana. Have been "creeping" the site now for a few months. I finally decided to join a few weeks ago. I finally decided to join because of you guys. On some fourms, the people on them can be a bunch of (insert bad word of you chioce). But, that isn't the case here on CDC. Everyone seems to be so willing to share information regarding crappie fishing. That being said, I have fished all my life. First, with my late father and gradfather, mostly bluegill and catfish. Later in life, I took up bass fishing and I got burned out on that, have fishing local tournments for several years. Then, about four years ago, I got in to a mess of crappie and I was me that was hooked. I love all things crappie. I love the fact that they can be picky, that they may or may not be holding to heavy cover, everything. That is another reason that I really like this site, it seemes to be a text book crappie fishing. I look forward to sharing stories and information with like minded anglers. I wish the best for all of you.

Howdy all. Just joined up and looking forward to enjoying the site. I'm a Crappie chaser from way back. Life took me from it 10 or 12 years ago though. Now,I find myself with a daughter that loves to fish! So,here we go. The last boat I owned was a Smokercraft Pro Angler. Nice rig it was. Seems I'm in need of another "Crappie Craft". Oh we've been bank fishing. It's hard to sit there and watch all the boaters heading out while bank bound. I tried to put it off,but quite simply we need to get back out there. My wife picked up a couple slabs yesterday. She was as pumped up as I was,and my daughter was worse. I have 2 girls in fact. One is a pretty darn good shot and deer hunter. The other has angling in her blood. Stream trout fishing has been good to her,but boating is her dream. My brother-in-law just picked up a new Lund and it's a real sweetheart. That did it. So it is writen,so it shall be done. By next spawn I'll be back with bells on. Or at least jigs on. He and I used to hit the Crappie hard. He's moved on to Walleye and the bigger craft for the big water,but I'm itching to hit those slabs again. So glad I stumbled onto this forum. It may tide me over while I get rigged up again,Mindog.

I'm a Newbie...Got to get rid of the GUPPY. Great site! Caught one last week that still had eggs. A late bloomer I guess.

I started fishing in 2007 and I really enjoy fishing for crappie and blue gill. I have a 2007 tracker pro crappie 175 that I do most of my fishing in. I'm still kind of new to the fishing sport and would like to get some pointers and tips on how to more efficiently catch fish.

welcom to CDC . Florida has some good crappie fishermen . met a few at www.laketalquinodge . nice lake not much heavy play traffic .several from the Ga. bord fish there .
