    Sparkie that is a huge help! I truely appreciate it. That’s the exact information I was looking for. My original plan on ice off was to start where the ice fishermen were getting them, but I was unsure if that was the correct approach. I will probably work deep to shallow ice off and hope my electronics can help me along the way. I picked up a map at a local bait shop a few years back that has structure marked in the areas of interest. With a little luck and a good presentation hopefully I can find some fish.

    Chaunc, that’s too bad about crappie camp. I never made it to crappie camp, but I only heard about it last year. I don’t realize it would have been the 5th year! I tried to make it down last year but unfortunately a wrench was thrown into my plans. It’s a little bit of a drive down and sometimes things come up. I did see they have the kids fishing derby put on by the lake association this upcoming year, so I intend to bring my little one down and a friend for the day.

    As always thanks a lot for advice guys! Hopefully someday I will be able to post a few tips to help a fellow fisherman! I like to think I’m getting there....slowwwwww but steady.

    The crappie camp, chaunc was referring to, was writers who contribute to the Crappie Now Magazine. It was every other year. Then I tried to have a crappie camp for the board, but felt I needed before hand help, to make it happen. To make something like that happen, it takes more than just me, pre planning to make it happen. Plus the cost to rent a pavillion to hold the meals and gather in. Being retired, I can't put out money of my own, and then things don't come together. Mostly not enough in attendance to make it worth while. And would be probably renting one of the cabins up at Pymatuming, which costs a bit. But if people would be willing to go in together renting cabins, it would save some money too.

    Anyone have any comments about it, would welcome them.

    I hear you about crappie camp, it’s tough to get people to participate and be committed. Maybe an alternative would be people from the area meet up and grab a beer or some dinner. Sit down and shoot the xxxx for a while.. move on and make smaller plans from there, until we can climb another step. I plan dates down there every year to take vacation and fish, I’m sure a lot of you are the same. Hopefully in the future we can get people together even if it is to shoot the xxxx over beers and food. Basically it doesn’t have to be super organized, just a way to introduce yourself.

    Chaunc, in an earlier post Nwpacrappie posted this.

    Yes sir I will be there May 3 and 4th if anyone is around. I will head down first thing Friday morning and stay until Sunday around 12-1pm. I know the owner of a local golf course who has a kitchen and she’s always willing to keep the kitchen open until after fishing hours! I have 2 other week day trips scheduled as well in May but those ones are a time crunch! I am planning on one more probably the last week of May or first week of June depending when I can get off work. That one will be a little more of an extended stay I hope. Other then that depending on work I could do a weekend day as long as it’s a little in advance.

    Hope you’re not too early for the main spawn bite this spring with this extended winter weather. Hopefully they’ll be in the shallows by then. Keith, pick a day and we can all meet up for coffee or something and get to know each other. Everyone that wants too attend can chime in after the day is picked.

    Well it sounds like the weekend, he is there would be good. But don't want to effect his fishing, lol. What do you think? Will post some thing after, we get some comments from others. For me Saturday would be better. Thinking I know the golf course he is talking about.

    I don’t have to fish ALL day ha ha. Chaunc by the way this weather has been going I may be ice fishing then! I figure as long as it’s 50 degree water temps I should be able to find something. I have been getting good info on the ice bite from a friend who fishes down there so I at least should have an area to start. I guess they have been on the crappie with a few eyes mixed in. All on the south end so that gives me hope. Been itching to get finished with the boat and motor maintenance but the weather has been brutal. Just made sure the trailer was working up to par and plan on installing a new fish finder. Just old fashioned 2d, but hoping the chirp can help me locate a few more brush piles or structure. I run a small 14 ft deep v sea nymph with a 8.8. That motor is older then dirt, I’ve been saving my pennies for either a new motor or a brand new to me, used boat. Tough to take my little one out when she is stuck with bench seats. Spring can come fast enough! The golf course is the Walnut Creek golf course.

    Just got off the phone with an ice club member. He said they’re out on the south end ice fishing. Invited me to come up and fish. Kind of leery about getting back on the ice this season. I think I’m done. Probably get my boat out of storage mid month and get ready to head to Ky lake beginning of April. I’ll be in touch.
