Here's another vote for Nibbles, Usually, it's best to sort of let your nibbles 'dry out' before you use them. They tend to stay on the hook better if they have dried out some.

I was there today. I wasn't crappie fishing (bass fishing) but the lake is high...over 168'. Water on the south end was a little murky. The wind was high today and it was cold, so go...

Welcome from S E Texas!!!

I would think that if the bamboo is 'green' (somewhat fresh) it shouldn't split. Let us know how it turns out.

Do any of you use dogfood or cotton seed meal(cake) when you put out your condos? I've had mixed results and was wondering if you are better off just putting out the condo without any bait at all....

Thanks to all who replied. Looks like [B][U]properly using tilt & trim will do about the same thing as these 'hydrofoil stabilizers'. As usual, lots of good info from people who know their stuff!!...

Jerry...when you say 'trim the motor up just until it would start to porpoise' what does that mean? What does the boat do when it starts to porpoise? Is 'porpoise' some kind of high-tech term?...:p

Hi
I am thinking about maybe installing one of these on my boat. Anyone have any suggestions as to brand? They claim that they will 'improve ride, increase performance, out-of -the hole faster,...

Hi...just curious why some subjects in the threads are bold and some are not? Anyone know why?:confused:

Just my .02 worth, but I would suggest some type of Ultra lite spinning reel. I'm not sure if you will be using it very much for casting, but they are good for jigging & slow trolling. Good luck!!

Welcome from Texas. Prepare to learn a lot from lot's of 'pros' here...NOT moi!!! still learning ...lol

Another welcome from Texas. Lots of good info and good people here so don't hesitate to ask. And it won't be long until you are a 'Crappie expert'.

skip...I'm not too sure where Mill Creek is. My camp is in the Buck Creek/Indian Creek area, in the Toledo Village/Tall Timbers area. We caught some last year in some of the edges of the creeks, but...

skip - nice mess of fish! What part of the lake do you fish? I'm on the south end close to the dam. My son & family are coming in this weekend. Where can I catch some down towards the south end of...

Thanks guys...as usual, lots of good info available here...and lots of good people that will share it with you!!!

I know the subject of depth finders has beeen discussed many times here, but anyone know anything about the peak to peak watts number in depth finders. Looks like more watts usually means more...

Uncle Bob...I agree with you. That red line has lots of memory. I have changed most of mine out. Not sure about how much better ??? those red hooks are, but I do use them...and catch fish!!!
I...

Skip...what is the name of the marina that will have them? I fish Toledo somewhat regularly and would buy some..
Just my suggestion....white head/body and chartruese tail.
Like a friend of mine...

Hi Scrapper...welcome from Texas. You'll find lots of good fishing info here. Also, check and see if anyone from your area is on the state forum.

I recommend Lowrance/Eagle. Either the Eagle model 480 or 320. I think the 480 sells for about $190 and the 320 for about $150.

rls1936... what brand did you get? Also, what size did you get? I see some come in 3" wide and some are 1.5 " wide (according to the catalog). I assume all the hardware to install them came with the...

Any of you ever use any type of trailer bunk slides? I see them advertised in the catalogues of Cabela's and in Bass Pro Shop.
Also, I have heard using a silicone spray on your trailor bunk boards...

I am well-pleased with my B & M rods. I prefer the 10' model, but that's just my preference. AND, B & M is one of the 'sponsors' of this site, so hopefully, they will continue their support.
We all...

Steve..check out this web site. They show animated pictures of all types of fishing knots.

6 lb Mr Crappie HiVis yellow. Easier to see and price is good. But it seems to have more memory than it should?? Of course, it could be my casting abilities (or lack of).

Welcome from Texas, preacher. Great bunch of fish!!! What time is the fish fry?
