I agree with CossaSlab. I use the Bobby Garland Baby Shad in licorice and chartreuse on a 1/32 oz jig head casting to the outside edge of the light and letting it pendulum swing back to the boat...

My favorite method of fishing is flippin' into brush and working every square inch of the cover. My method is to take whatever plastic grub I am using and texas rig it on a regular 1/32 oz. jig head...

Thank you Cricket George. All I can say is those sunfish are beautiful and they can sure swallow a big bait. We have a blast catching them with the little kids.

Whenever I have just a few hours to fish, I take my boys and neices and we head to the ponds close to the house and catch those little bluegill. I never thought of eating them because I figured they...

There was no snow in Eager/Springerville, it wasn't until you South of Alpine or between Pinetop/Lakeside and Eager Springerville that there was snow so the roads right around Eager/Springerville...

I haven't had a chance to get out and try that spot but I did take a long drive up to Show Low and over to Springerville then down the Coronado Trail and there is still a ton of snow to melt. I am...

The wife and I took our boys to San Carlos this past Wednesday and Saturday. My boat is out of commission so we did some bank fishing. My son had a few bites but no takers. I spoke with a lot of...

Nice catch. Though I am not a huge fan of bass, they are sure a pleasant surprise on light gear. Gotta love those sliders!!!!!!!

I have two young boys so they have to stay entertained doing something when we are fishing, trolling is a great technique on the lakes I fish but we do really well casting and retreiving. Actually...

Out here in AZ the minnows are expensive so I stick with artificals only. This past few years I have been using Gulp! Minnows and this past year I have been really impressed with the Realistix...

I was out there yesterday and the water temp was 58 degrees at around 2:30 PM.

My wife has a Food Saver but I have never used it on fillets. Questions: After you pat the fillets dry and freeze them a little, is it okay to stack them two or three high in the bag before sealing...

I would have to agree with "Micropterus salmoides"...the small town legend guys sure know their stuff.

IAMMAC,

I hope you have some time to do some lake reports with all that fishing coming up!

I'd fish. You can always catch up on the highlights after the game. Those are some beautiful jigs...I go with the hometown boys "Card Jig"

Yates,

I tried your technique over the weekend at a small 15 acre pond close to my house and we did good on the bluegill but not specks.

Man, I definitely need to learn to fish better in the Winter. I understand that if you can find them in the Winter in our Arizona lakes you can really kill em'. I have been reading the posts from...

Yates,

Thanks for the info. In Arizona we don't seem to have a winter pattern since mid 50's is about all the cold the lakes get down here in the southern part of the state. I will give your...

The picture of the Kentucky state record is one beautiful fish. I have caught 3 lb crappie here in Arizona and they sometimes look deformed (super fat and short) but that Kentucky record is...

My Dad uses them with the open part up.

That is perfect and I love your avatar. Ya know, my Father started me fishing before I could walk and he has always been a big bass fishermen. Finally, one time he took me crappie fishing when I...

Bobby Garland Baby Shad...Licorice/Chart. all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skip,

I use just one Aurora and it brings in plenty of shad...man two would blind you as bright as they are but I know a lot of Arizona Crappie Fishermen use two all the time. I tried all types...

I don't fish Roosevelt much but I fish San Carlos Lake a lot. At Roosevelt, we usually launch at schoolhouse and troll the boowie (l know my spelling is off) line in about 30 to 40 feet of water...

It is great to see some Arizona folks on this site. I have only been a member of Crappie.com since June 2008 but I have been researching the site for about 3 years now. Finally decided to become a...

Grizz,

San Carlos. I have buddies that catch 3 lbers at Roosevelt lake but San Carlos is closer to home for me. We fish about every other weekend, during the day in Spring and when it gets too...

KCMO, even though you already ordered your rods I thought I would add my $ .02 anyway. I have been on a life long search for the most versatile rod for vertical jigging, casting and occasionally...

Sorry...it is pipe insulation not installation.

TeamCJSE

I am mainly vertical jig with one jig but my Dad loves the Kentucky rig. He has a hard time seeing and is not as good with his hands and tying knots so I help him pre-rig before a trip and we wrap...
