Might check out Somerville. They have a huge crappie dock at one of the marinas, and I'm sure there are places to stay nearby too.

Sorry to stray from the topic, but, lp243, I heard a rumor that all the structure got drug up from under the LaMancha dock...is that true? If so, WHY??? would anyone do that?!

Several years ago I fished all day (8 hours) at the big marina on Somerville and caught 2 fish. TWO! Folks all around me were fishing with jigs and pulling them in left and right. Finally, in the...

If I'm online looking at TX crappie stuff, it's usually on TFF. But I'll try to swing by this porch more often. A few weeks ago a buddy and I took my two young'uns up the big creek at Hubbard Crk. ...

Hit it early this morning, fished some grass lines on the east shore in a series of coves south of the bridge messin' with the green carp. About 9, headed over to Amber Forest to a tree with some...

Fred, your help paid off bigtime! Check out my post for how we did!

sweet, thanks Fred!

Going tomorrow with a buddy. Gonna bass fish early, then may go look for the "white perch" as he calles em mid morning. What jig colors work good on Rayburn? Might have minners too.
Thanks!

What's the news over der? Don't wanna miss the December/January hot bite this year!

Hey fellas,
Thanks for doing a bang up job on your jigs, I can't wait to try em!

I'd also appreciate any feedback on how mine work for ya. I haven't been tying that long, and this is only my...

Hey fellas,
So I'm finally shipping mine out tomorrow. I hate to be that guy that's making everyone wait to get their toys till the last minute, and I was thinking about asking to be dropped until...

I'm game if you'll have me!

I just tell folks I love the taste of hardhead catfish. They usually laugh, and don't believe me, but blackened hardhead is mighty fine eating!

Then I tell them, like I'm telling you, I really...

Wow, Bug...I mailed those Monday from Hole in the Wall, OK. Can't believe they already made it there. Can't wait to see everyone's jigs! Take care.

I've heard that, as an alternative to putting on artificial scent, like nibbles, to rub your jig over the sides of the first fish you catch. May lure them in, may just cover up your own scent, but...

One boat I fish in doesn't have a livewell, so we bring a big ice chest. One side for food, one side for fishes, separated by a bag of ice. Works pretty well for a while, till the slime starts...

Here's some pics of my first jigs. I actually tied several of most of these, about 20 in all for yesterday's first foray into the jig tying world. Here they are!

The first is a purchased lure, a...

I'd love to be in on this. Definately a nooby, but I think I'll be able to put out something that will catch a fish or two ;-) I'll take some pics of my first efforts and post them on the Tying...

yesterday I sat and figured out how to tie jigs. Ended up with about 20, and I'm kinda proud of em.

My dad has diabetes, father in law, has it, I have a great chance of ending up with it, so...

Thanks guys...found some shops on ebay to get me started for fairly cheap...although as OCD as I am, won't be long till I'm buying everybody out!

Anyone ever tried using this type of thread? It's much more substantial than regular sewing thread, very strong, and thicker too. I'm starting to catch this bug but don't have any local fly tying...

Dude, that would be completely awesome! Thanks! I'll be in touch...

He's in NE Texas. Yeah, it's illegal to keep those fish caught on jug or trotline, only catfish and nongamefish.

I'll respond to your questions in turn:

I've fished over pvc structures before, and you're right, they don't hang up as bad as standard trees do. I've heard that they don't hold fish as well, but...

If you're setting up a dock for year round fishing in 8-15 ft water, this is what I'd do:

Get several Xmas trees set in concrete in 5 gal buckets, I'm talking a dozen or so depending on how big...

Anyone been there? Met a guy at Fort Phantom's crappie house yesterday who said he's been fishing the Lake Leon crappie dock and bringing home limits of fish several days in a row. This may have...

I agree. I accessed the Swap Meet forum through the dropdown bar at the bottom right. Get there and see that there's a page full of threads, but no hotlinks. None. Just the names of the members...

I'm telling ya, it's just not showing up on my screen. Like where the forum name should be on the list of forums page, the (# viewers) is just scooted over to the left where the hotlink into the...
