    Whether your long lining, spider rigging, or pulling cranks you need a rod thats suited to that style of fishing. I had been using B'n'M PST's for pulling crank baits and they are a great rod for this....just the right amount of stiffness etc. But I tried using them for spider rigging as some ...

    During my short time so far on Crappie.com I have been amazed at the enthusiasm shown toward crappie fishing. Now I know that a lot of people have hobbies that they are passionate about (myself included) but it appears that most of us Crappie fisherman are fanatics. The time that some spend on the water is just amazing. It makes me long for the days I can get the chance to do the same.

    I can't tell you when I first saw the rod, because I can't remember when I first started fishing. I'm sure it was sometime before I could walk. My first memory of the rod was seeing it stacked in the corner of dad's closet with about six or seven others. It was wrapped in khaki colored muslin with a fabric tie string and had that special "old" smell. I asked dad where he got the rods and he told me they were his fathers. His dad left home one day and never came back, so dad inherited the rods. I always figured they were made circa 1917, but I think pre-WWII would be more accurate. They were all spit bamboo. One was a Southbend and one was a Montaque Flash. The others were names I don't remember.

    Chapter 9


    William and Billy went back at it. Billy climbed back up on the boat and William noticed he’d remember what he’d been shown. Billy moved to the front deck and set up on the starboard rod locker and opened the first box labeled fishing. This was the part he’d been looking forward to but after the story he’d just heard, he wasn’t quite as upbeat as he was earlier. “What’s in there Billy?” “Looks like jig heads to me Mr. Baker. Lots of them”. “Oh yeah, that’s my spares and duplicates box. Scoot it over this way and I’ll get it. It’s heavy though”. Billy did as asked but had to reposition himself for enough bracing to scoot it over. “Billy, you ever fish much?” “Sometimes Mr. Baker, but I don’t have ...

    Kentucky Lake Shindig at Big Bear brings in Billbob to participate in the festivities. Here's a picture of Billbob doing what he does best. Well, second best. What he does best is he takes pictures with all the women at camps, but that's another story. If that does interest you, you can read more about that here in a previous story: http://www.crappie.com/crappie/conte...tradition.html He may look mean in this picture here, but believe me, he's a real friendly guy, and he ...

    Of all the techniques used to catch crappie none is more technical as spider rigging. It takes multiple rods, reels, and rod holders working in sync with electronics and trolling motor. When used correctly spider rigging will position the lures in a spread out area covering the complete strike zone where the crappie are located.



    If done correctly, a spider rig not only catches a lot of crappie, but big ones. Of course this technique requires having ...

    Chapter 5



    William Baker had heard that determination in her voice many times before. There had first been Joe. Joe was the friend of the neighbor’s kids whose Dad died when Joe was in the 10th grade. Ann had seen to it that he was always included when manly things needed doing with William and that was even before they had kids of his own. Next was Tom, their oldest son Robert’s best friend. Tom’s mother died of cancer early on and Ann had stepped in to be his part time mother until Robert and Tom went off to ...

    We pull them through dark holes in a white desert like gems from a forgotten tomb. Many-faceted gems at that. Turn one in the light and it reflects various shades of green, pearl, purple, steel and blue. Calicos, strawberry bass, papermouths, specs -- crappies have as many names as America has regions. And since crappies persist in about 40 of the Lower 48 states, they’re subject to treatment by every regional dialect. Thus the long list of ...

    "You've got to believe your electronics". That's what I was telling myself on a short after work trip to the lake this spring. I had been working a jig along a secondary ditch trying to find some post spawn bass grouped up, when I looked at my SI unit and saw what appeared to be bluegill beds. Thing was, I was out off the bank a good 150 feet or ...

    Chapter 1


    It had been 3 years ago almost to the day when William Baker turned in his paperwork for his retirement after 42 years on the job as a machinist in a union shop. It had been a hard career, filled with overtime, missed opportunities and lost moments, but he was finally shed of having to be somewhere 6 days a week. The 2600 square foot house that his wife, Ann, dearly loved and the shop or man cave as he like to call it along with the 12 acres of land were all paid for. His two children, Robert and Susan were all grown up, married with children of their own and doing well for themselves. Susan was a real estate agent 7 states away in Virginia and had 2 little girls that were the light of any room they graced. Robert was closer ...
