Awesome.
Thanks for the report, I have to work to Wendsday, but will be back at Sinclair on Thursday.
Fished 8:30 until 5:30. Started in Rooty and bite was real slow. 12:30 moved to Nancy and started hammering them. WT 50-54. Water depth 20-40'. Fish suspended @ 12' to bottom. Best color for us was probably a Tennessee Shad paddle tail, some call it a crappie snack grub, on a plain head that I clear powder coat. Left Rooty with 6 fish, ended in Nancy with 36. All over 10". Threw back a bunch of 9" fish. Best fish was 1.78 lbs. with 2 at 1.5 lbs. All in all a great day on the water. Thanks to my wife for letting me fish on Valentine's Day!Last pic is partner with 2 of the largest.

I just bought my first boat. I love to fish, but all I have ever been able to do is fish off the bank or a dock. I throw a worm or minnow on the hook and hope I catch a fish. I found this forum and now I am hoping you guys can/will help me learn just how you do it. Any in depth in techniques, gear and how to use it all would be much appreciated. I will be spending the majority of my time on Sinclair and some at Oconee and probably rarely visit somewhere else. Also, would you guys suggest a good place to dry store my boat at a reasonable price. Catching fish like the ones above would be awesome!! Thanks!! Matthew 4:19

You will get a lot of advice on here but it is hard when you are just starting out and you learning how to use your new boat and fish for crappie, that is a double whammy. If you want a leg up, it would be really worth the money to go fishing a guide on the lake you like the best. You will learn how they handle the boat and get a years worth of learning in a day's trip. Other wise is it a lot of fishing all day and learning from what the crappie tell you. Remember early in the year a lot of days the crappie really turn between 4:00 and 6:00 and bite like crazy up to dark. Good luck. I have to be somewhere or I would type out some fishing tips for you.
