I never fished for crappie at night, what is the technique? Do you fish with lights or in the dark

I fished Friday thru Sunday mid cove around the 10mm and caught spawning fish in 11 to 13 fow, some of the females had dropped there eggs, several males with black bellies.

Friday was the best...

I fished Fri. & Sat. 10 mm and caught a few males off the banks in 4 to 5 foot of water but caught the females in 25 to 30 foot of water in front of the docks.

Some guys I keep running into were...

Found out today, Yes, using a laser sight for bow fishing is legal.

It falls under section 3 CSR 10-6.410(12)"As an aid to fishing methods, an artificial
light may be used only above the water...

I was wanting to know if you could use a laser sight for bow fishing?

I know it is not allowed for hunting, but is it the same for bow fishing?

People claim that with a laser you don't have to...

Maybe some time some how the corps. will figure out when and how to regulate MTL, but I'm sick of that lake, i love to fish it and have fished it for years and every year its the same o same o. The...

During the spawn, a jig under a bober 18 to 24 inches cast out at an angle and reel it in slooooow once you find a spot your going to catch fish, you may have to change colors and work over the same...

Nice catch!

I guess what I'm doing might be called chicken leg rigging, casting a jig and dragging a minnow, lol.
worked well @ LOZ Sunday morning.

One more tip, I use 2 liter bottles and some line to mark mine when I first drop them, and usually drop 3 or more structures faily close together, the bottles lets me see where there at when dropping...

whitemike,

I,m building something close to those except I am using the black drain pipe.

I shoved a 2 liter bottle in the top (help keep it up right)and capped it.

I plan on putting fish...

Nice report, I guess most were stuck at work like myself yesterday, 70's in Jan. I can almost here that grease popping,lol.

Thanks for the tips, you are already helping, lol.

Are you vertical jigging those over structure or casting and slow retrieve?

Thanks for the welcome, Charlie. My jigging skills are underdeveloped to say the less, lol, just trying to find fish for now, work on jigs later.

Hi everyone, I'm new to fishing LOZ, this is my third time out, I've been fishing Mark Twain & Truman (AKA WOOD)till now, anyway put in @ Shawnee Bend at 9:00 and fished until 2:00.

I caught 7...

I see alot of folks are using electric, as was I until mine bit the dust. I found that I could fillet crappie almost as fast with a knife as I did with the electric.

I did replace the electric...

I'm always in the market for a good fillet knife and I was currious what your favorite knife and blade size is.

I've been using Rapala's 7"1/2 rubber handle and 6" birch handle for everything and...

Not 100% on this but I think clear slime is minnow eggs, minnows spawn all summer long on tree branches, vegatation and brush.

Thanks again Jeff

Jeff, Thanks for the report.
Did you happen to get some morning water temps?

Jeff I haven't been on the lake in about 3 or 4 weeks but was on durring the high water ealier this year and the falling water. Had the most luck around the dam area on timber 8 to 12 feet deep on...

I would also suggest calling your US senators, Brack Obama (202-224-2854) & Dick Durbin (202-224-2152) and letting them know how you feel about parks being closed in Illinois.

I am still on the...

All this theiving talk reminded me about 10 to 15 years ago they broke up a couple of the theives that were going to Lake of Ozarks, MO., thousands of docks, and stealing boating and fishing gear and...

They should be hung like horse theives!
I'v got over a dozen locks on my boat and trailer, heck, I had to engrave each one so I know where it goes, my key ring looks like a nightwatchmen's set,lol.

I,m going to MTL, the reports I'v read haven't been that good, but i have to think these fish are going to the bank or are real near it.
Good luck, I'll let u know Mon.

Thanks guys, just got my 1st limit and I'll be trying your suggestions out as soon as I fry them up, thanks again.

Can any body tell me how to cook home made potato chips?

I can't get them all crispy, and some are just plain soggy.

Oil temp., time, draining method, etc.

Thanks, Everybody
