I have a few unused vacation days, I talked to the boss about a couple spur of the moment days based on the weather. He said it was ok as long as work was ok. Seems like that might be the only way to...

Kincaid was 46 on Saturday. High water and very muddy. Could only see the jig about 6 inches.

Thanks for the clarification CT, I was wondering what main drag you meant. :)

We fished Sardis last year and caught about 50 in 2 1/2 days. The biggest was 17 inches and most were over 12. We're doing Enid this year. We've hired a guide for Thursday then we're on our own the...

Hey Steve, speaking for one of the 2 guys with you yesterday I can tell everyone it was COLD. It was kind of frustrating when you know where the fish are, but it's just too miserable to get there....

Thanks for a great day Saturday Steve. Learned a lot about the lake and did pretty good considering the conditions. One good thing for later in the year was being able to see the shoreline with the...

Thanks for the phone # Saluki, I will write it down this time. :D

Anybody know if the lake has come up any? I was hoping to go there Friday but heard they had it so low you couldn't hardly get a boat in. If not, I may try Glenn Shoals (Hillsboro). Anybody got a...

I hired a guide on Kentucky Lake last year the first day of a week of family vacation. He spent 5 hours showing me how to find good redear and bluegill spots, telling jokes and just talking about...

Heading down to Kincaid Saturday if the weather holds. It's been a year since I've been down there and I've got the itch. Anybody know what the water temps are?

Enjoyed talking to you Tim, I learned a lot about crankbaits, although my wallet is lighter now! You catch up on your sleep yet?

I also have a couple lakes nearby that are full of 8 inch crappie. My buddies laugh at me for keeping and filleting them, but they don't laugh when they're stuffing their faces after I fry them up....

I'm stopping by this afternoon, hope to see you.

Thanks! They're talking rain and thunderstorms for Saturdy so it may be another day in the barn cleaning boats and restringing reels.

I thought I read somewhere that part of Sangchris is closed to fishing during the winter? Or did I dream that? I was thinking about running up there Saturday an would hate to waste the gas.

Went out yesterday on a farm pond and it was about 4 1/2 inches. Some popping, but I imagine that's just expansion due to the severe cold.

Caught 1 13inch bass through the ice, and lost a couple...

Hey Mark, I used to go down to the Florida panhandle and decided to learn how to surf fish. I ended up catching a lot of fish from the beach in the mornings before all the swimmers came out. I got...

Back before I got hooked on crappie I used to primarily catfish. They are a very reputable business with a good selection of stuff. Good people too. A bunch of us met up there for a shopping trip/get...

I've seen a guy that did this on his pontoon boat. Had 4 c brackets, one on each corner and 2 sharpened 10ft PVC pipes. He would just stick 2 of them in the mud whenever he was ready to fish. It only...

Sorry should have said Crappie World mag. :-)

I was reading the new Crappie Work mag and it mentioned just putting a bunch of weighted buckets on the bottom with nothing in them to make an artificial stump bed. Especially in shallower water....

I might take you up on that. I've heard it's a beautiful lake but hard to fish. I'm about 2 hours away, but hate to drive that far and only catch 3 keepers.

I used to fish Coffeen a bunch from December throuh March, mainly for catfish. The thing to know is if the weather is cold, like 45 degrees or less, you can have the lake pretty much to yourself. But...

Alright guys, this yera is my first serious attempt at crappie fishing, so thought I'd keep you posted. Went to a 200 acre city lake here in central Illinois and caught 3 9 inchers in the first brush...

Great question. I was wondering if they spook when you get snagged and have to pull to bend the hook or break off? I hate it when the first cast gets snagged because now I'm wondering if we just...

Hey Denny, I went to Sangchris yesterday for the first time. I'm pretty new to crappie fishing, so not real sure what I'm doing yet. We fished up by the hot discharge for a couple hours. Got some...

Yeah Redtick, we've got to get out sometime and have you show me some crappie tricks. I've always wondered if crappie behave differently throughout the year in power plant lakes and if so, how. One...

Hey folks, been lurking for a while, thought I'd finally post. I've been an avid cat man for years, occasionally tried crappie with mixed results. This year I thought I'd try a little harder at it....
