Looking good. I need to get out there.
Still working on my boat after 5 years of sitting.
Good luck to you, if you get out again.
George

Got a lot of improvement to go. Fun though. 200739200740200741
Now if our lake levels will go down.

I'll second the Shimano IX series reels. I've got about 10 of these I've had for a looong time. Cheap and gets the job done. But, I've always been a quick fire man.

It's a goodn,

Replied to ur PMs.

That's what's so great about Crappie.com. Nice people willing to help each other. Offering to take me out and share info is a class act.

Looking forward to...

Hey Slabmaster,
Great info. Makes my decision easier.
Boat traffic is a fact of life on a lake the size of Nolin.
Lookin forward to catchin some of those specks you released.
Hope to see you out...

Colayn,

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
We're thinking about Wax because they have the motel and restaurant. That'll make weekends easier to pick up and go.
If we like it there, we'll...

The family and I are looking at finding a lake to keep our boat at for the summer instead of trailoring every weekend.
We live in Louisville, but the slip rental price (twice the price) and weekend...

Rollcaster,

I've tried both in 8lb, and the Offshore Angler seemed to have more line memory off the spool, but after dragging it behind the boat a ways, it performs very well.

Price is right,...

Hey Shine,
I can only give you my experience with my 225 ETEC.

Quiet. At the ramp with my wife launching, you can't even hear it running at idle and even at WOT, you can hold a conversation...

Was out at tville Sunday in the heat of the day. We fished for bluegill on the shorelines for my daughter. She doesn't have the patience for summer crappie fishing so we go after the dink bluegill...

Greenfish,

Congratulations on the new little fishergirl.

I so sorry to hear about her lungs. I'll keep her in my prayers. It's good to know she is getting great care.

Hope to see ya on...

Planning a family vacation in early August. Along with the skiing and tubing, gonna find time to wet a line, probably early morning and late afternoon.

Looking at staying at the Moors. Looks like...

We felt it here in Louisville, KY. Pretty good shake on the house.

If that was a 5, I sure don't want to experience an 8.0

Grizz,

You had me snorting coffee with that one.

Sounds like my Mom. Be careful what you ask.

That was a great way to start the day.

George

Joe. Didn't mean to spook ya. I would think the Mobil1 would be fine.

I use Castrol full sythetic in my truck and I wouldn't trust it to anything else. I loves my truck.

The synthetic...

Joe,

If you are talking about Quicksilver 2-Stroke Oil, do not use it in a 4-Stroke engine. It is formulated for 2 stroke engines only. If Mercury makes a 4-stroke oil called Quicksilver, that...

Shipahoy41,

That youtube you linked to was great. Thanks for sharing.

Somebody has too much time on their hands. And alot of creative talent.

Not to mention I learned something.

George

Thanks Greenfish

A couple more weeks will work.

Other commitments just became high priority, so it will be awhile before I can think about fishing again.

George

Yeah, it's just you.

Yikes, my nose just grew to keeper size.

It's an uncurable disease. You can only treat the symptoms by landing those specks.

The wife says I'm ate up with it. But...

George, here in Louisville.

T-ville mostly. Close for getting out for a 1/2 day and not spend a fortune pulling the boat.

Plan to get back to Nolin and Barren this year. If all works out,...

Crappiepappie,

Thanks for the reply and info. I know of a few blow downs that I can try.

It'll be good just to get out and be on the water.

I will definitely post results of any trips. ...

Gonna get out to Tville in the next couple of weeks. A little earlier than I normally do. Gotta get out there after alot of years without any serious crappie fishing.

Most of my experience there...

Super site. I can even follow these instructions.

Thanks for sharing willfish.

George

The BPS float n' fly microlite is on sale, or was last weekend. $30.

Various lenghts. I picked up a 9'6 ML. Nice feeling rod. Good balance.

Probably gonna pick up a 8 footer also.

Hey Crappie Xtream,

I RESEMBLE that remark :} Good post.

Does it count if the wife is paying for the boat?

Those crappie filets are pretty expensive. Couple thousand a pound.

Oh well. ...

I used a clamp kit from Harbor Freight Tools so I could custom make bigger clamps to fit my 80# trolling motor.

I think the kit was three dollars. Made two clamps and had enough for 4 more...

I'm with ejones. Tackle bag w/ 8 divided boxes from Walmart at 1/2 of what BPS wanted for the same thing. Room for jig heads, plastics, hooks, floats, sinkers, etc, etc. Lots of pockets for all...

For suspend/troll/spider, I have a alot of Shimano AX series and Cardinals that I've had for about 10-12 years and are still going strong. A little noisier than they used to be, but more than up to...

Finally back in the boat biz after 9 yrs.
