...for this years lake reports.
I guess I can't say I have never caught crappie in the main lake in February any more.
That’s a nice mess!
Thanks. It took some looking but I found some. :biggrin
It ain't rocket science you can catch crappie in every marina on hype lake
If you have a slip rented you can. I had forgotten, when I had a slip rented I did catch crappie in February. Now that I’m retired I can’t afford renting a slip anymore.
I would consider taking donations for slip rental if offered. :biggrin
The weather was not suitable for fishing so I worked on one of the projects I have at church.
I don’t know what happened to me but the thought of going fishing just never appealed to me today :)
I should have fished today but instead I repaired a friends broken fishing rod. It was a custom 8’ bait casting crappie rod that I had built him.
Now it’s a 7’10” custom crappie bait casting rod. I managed to save it’s original action.
Nice, that’s a good friend.
I try.
I just about to talk myself into going fishing tomorrow morning. I know it will be cold but it’s forecast to rain a few days after tomorrow.
Bingo! The ambient temperature has risen 1 degree in the last hour. That has to be a trend so I’m going fishing. :)
I don’t know how smart it was but I went and caught enough for dinner. Wife is cooking them now.

You did better than I did! All I caught was Eagle food. That’s code for drum!
Eagles need to eat too. :biggrin
Today was proof that crappie fishing isn’t for sissy’s. :biggrin
I would have loved to go try out my new crappie lures I bought today but had to work. Still at work!!!! Nice haul Wrangler!

It’s only a 3 hour drive. :biggrin
How’s that 12 step bass withdrawal program working out? :biggrin
My wife made me take one of those 12 step programs when I got up to 6 boats at the same time. :biggrin
Haha. I can bass fish within a mile of the house. But I was told one pond I was fishing has crappie in it. So next time I got fishing I'm going there with my new crappie lures!

In a pond fishing from the bank be sure and remember the slip cork.
What to do when it’s cold and raining and can’t fish? Well there’s always reality tv. Let’s see what there is to chose from. There’s Bill Dance, and Jimmy Houston, and Hank Parker or maybe Russ Bailey. Any of those would be much better than The Real House Wives of Nowhere, New Mexico.
:biggrin
I only have regular and weighted floats
No slip bobbers.

There are lots of the worlds best expensive slip corks out there. This is not something to over think. If you shop around on amazon you can get bobber stops 50 for $5.00, pretty much whatever style you prefer. As far as the slip cork goes
Attachment 330197
4 pack for $0.99 at Walmart. They will work and won’t break the bank. I realize there are lots of highly advertised more expensive floats out there that may be better in someone else’s opinion but these get the job done and if you snag up and lose one you’ve only lost 2 bits. A quarter for you younger folk out there.
I've got weighted floats in that brand so they are plenty good for me! How do bobber stops work?

You put the bobber stop on the line, then a small bead, then the slip cork, then the jig. I just checked and there are several good YouTube videos that show how to rig all 4 different types of bobber stops.
Ok thank you!

For those that don’t experience chronic arthritis pain and wondered what causes it I have taken a few pics to illustrate how it is at least with me by using a simple barameter water globe.
Attachment 330226
If the globe looks like this it is a good day. I can do anything I want. Yes I know the iPhone rotates the pic so the small piece goes up in real life.
This means I’m struggling but still can function thru the pain.
Attachment 330227
This means I can still function but am no longer able to conceal the pain from those around me and the joints pop loud enough to be heard by those within 10’ or so around me.
This means I’m heavily medicated and fishing or hunting is not possible. It also means I am probably medicated enough that it is beginning to alter my personality. Others can tell because I usually begin making less sense when I talk or type and the pain is making me irritable and at times aggressive.

Anything above this also also means I’m checking my drivers license to see what my name is :).
Im here now otherwise I would never mention the pain.
