I learned a few things during this years annual migration to Florida I thought I'd share. I discovered a "new to me" long lining rig I have had some good success with.

Last night I watched "It's A Wonderful Life" with James Steward. You know, that black and white classic from 1946. And while I'm watching it, it dawns on me that it really is "a wonderful life". Especially with my family and the family we have here on Crappie.com.
