Old School tricks of the trade thread maybe ?

More than 50 yrs ago I read about putting 2-3 bumblebee in a jar and sinking it
Claimed the buzzing would attract crappie
Doe' s that qualify as an " old time trick"?

hmmm, seems to me they would either drown or suffocate

Have your partner sit close to the net, and you will catch more fish, than him!

Bend the point of your hook outward just a tiny bit for better hookups.

Read to hook a crappie behind its dorsal fin with a small float and release it and follow it back to the school. Moving marker bouy. Never tried it but sounds like it would work.

Seen it done before .....I didn't but I saw a guy do it in another boat .....and YES I am pretty sure it's illegal

Good reread. Preserve history. One good boom on the Sun and the GPS is fried.

Not a myth the meat inside Beaver Tails cut in to small strips works excellent for Panfish, it is so tough one piece will last almost all day.

We Dairyed for over twenty years and I would watch the cows and use as a gauge for the fish bite it would be right about 80% of the time.
