Hi all, it's been awhile. I just got my first boat and I have some questions. It has a 20 hp Mercury, where can I find info on it as far as maintenance and that sort of stuff. I got it from a friend...

I'm not new to the Iowa board but it has been awhile since I've been on. So what is the Iowa Club?

I agree, most of the time I come to this board there is nothing going on. My son and I have been fishing Big Creek with pretty good success the past few weeks.

I go there often and I recently talked with one of the employee's. He said as of now there are no plans for closing the store although there are some store's that are. He did say that the Ankeny...

Welcome from Iowa

The bass was 3lb 9oz by our electronic scale. He actually landed it by hand over hand because the reel couldn't handle the fish. I later found out that he tightened the drag and his line snapped as...

my son and I went out last Sunday and fished for crappie, not a bite one! We quit that and drove to Jester to try for bass. My son caught one 4lb bass on his crappie pole and lost two others when...

The crappie fishing in central Iowa is not!

Way to go guys! Now they just need to move in here in Iowa.

Nice catch! Congrats from Iowa.

You know, we've been out a number of times to some tried and true spots but we have not even had a bite. Except for the bass my son caught. Not sure if it's just been to cold and the water has not...

Son and I went out Sunday, no crappie however my son hooked a 2lb bass. but it was sure fun being outdoors.

Yeah it's been slow here in the Des Moines area too. I try everything this time of year just to find out what they're hitting. But for sure it's slip float and minnow as the weather warms.

OK, we now have ice out in the central Iowa lakes. Is it still too cold for the crappies or should we be able to catch them now? Yes I'm pretty new to crappie fishing but eager to learn.

Welcome from Des Moines!

Awesome design!

Count me in too!

Hello all! I want to get a new rod and reel for crappie. I want to give myself the best all-around spinning outfit possible for fishing from bank and boat. What suggestions do you all have? I'm...

I'm putting new line on my spinning reels however I'm a bit confused as to which way I will put the spool of line on the unit. I have to put the spinning reel on upside down so which way do I face...

I have not been to Don Williams but I have been told that the crappie fishing is very good. I do plan to fish there this spring.

Thanks guys, new to the board. Your replies have been very helpful. I currently use Silver Thread AN40 and Suffix Elite and have been very pleased but I do need something I can see better. I will...

This line was recommended to me by a friend, however he said to use a heavier test because of line memory. Anyone have any experience with the Mr. Crappie Line?

Thanks fella's for the welcome and info.
