    You guys must be better than me. I can't buy a fish out of a bush. I have been to Gun, Jackie and up at Ina and can't even catch a small male..... I will keep trying though.......

    There is a BOWFISHING tourney at Rend this weekend. The shallows will be stirred up to a froth, both Friday night, prefishing and Sat. night from the tourney. So the crappie may be a bit skiddish this weekend.

    Many years ago I use to stop Nason on my home from turkey hunting in the Shawnee to visit my goodfriend Don Hayes. He would borrow a boat from his brother and take me Crappie fishing out of there, maybe the Bluegill hole and the like, where we fished the bushes. God those were fun times.

    You just have to search for the right bushes that are holding fish right now. When the water warms up a little bit more then it will be just about any bush you drop a minnow in. Oh and Greg you just have not been paying much attention. I have been there just not as much as I like to go but now I will be down there as much as I can until I have my surgery. Just waiting to schedual the surgery through the spring spawn. It will take 6 to 8 weeks to heal so if I do it now then I will miss the spring spawn.

    Oh ya cracker.... LOL

    Good job and thanks for the update.
    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:

    klnduck, good post, but dude, but punctuation and capitalization, please. It's the difference between, "Helping my uncle jack off his horse", and "Helping my Uncle Jack off his horse." Just makes it easier to follow and understand. Just sayin.....................
