That's a nice looking Crappie Spartan. Looking at that got me wanting to get the grease hot. We had Crappie Camp up on Sardis Lake every spring for over 20 years and caught some slabs like that. ...

That's what I'm talking about.
THNX Spartan in Overalls!

If you're making the trip all the way from Michigan, the slabs must be awesome.

We gonna finally get our inaugural trip to the #1 rated Crappie Lake in Louisiana and we plan to pull some slabs outa Caney Creek. Been trying to get there for 3 years. Tornadoes and China Virus...

A lot of verbiage here. I suspect that the author maintained a steady journal over many hours standing watch on the bridge. This site does a good job as a source for where/how to fish and as a...

That's useful and informed information.

No I don't work for them.

The man asked if anybody had any experience using Gel type batteries in their boat. I was the only respondent that provided any useful, informed information.

Opinion...

I've used AGM batteries for years. Had 'em in my truck for over 5 years with no problem. Same with my car. Use 'em in my boat with same result. I've recently added an inboard charging system to...

That's the way I remember it. Never realized it was a competition sport until it was way late in life.

I fished Sardis hard the 1st week in April and caught a few nice fish. Not a bragging year...

There shouldn't be a problem with pole limits if they've limited creel to a maximum number of fish per boat. If people are double tripping then they should monitor the situation to keep that from...

The season suggestion is probably the best idea for sustaining fish populations and growing fish but it's not something that is native to the south and I'd bet it would be met with some serious...

Dead thread in the middle of the road,
So much verbage that just got old,
Dead thread in the middle of the road,
Stinking to high heaven.

Since I got entwined in the COE lakes quality fishing thread over the last couple weeks I've seen it morph into many sub-threads. Big vs. small, high water/low water, jig or minnow, single-pole or...

"When you got campgrounds full of folks who catch so many fish they bring deep freezers along with them then you got a possesion limit problem."

Guilty as charged! By the way, that band of fish...

Well Thanks Feeshrman for that word of advice. I think I'll do just that.

Count me in as part of the Thump gang. Light-action rod and you can feel the lips of a Crappie wrapping around a jig. I'm most likely in that crowd because I grew up fishing bass with a worm and...

I can can sit this one out since I don't know Crappie.

Well when I retire and can live life on my own terms I'm going to add fall fishing at the 4-lakes to my things to do. As far as that fishing camp in the spring I attend I joined it many years after...

I just read a thread on the Iowa size limit thread by Martin Mountain where he was talking about the numbers of big fish caught on the outflow. I can see how fish would pass over the spillway with...

Roger that!

I have no way of gauging that so I'll trust your opinion. Must be a few because people stay lined up to fish on the outflow.

My week at Sardis was < 10:1.
Same for the day I spent at Enid.

At just about every point where I've thought this thread is dead someone comes along and throws in something meaningful and relevant to core topic. I can't remember how far back in this discussion I...

This is a really good thread and I think the rationale behind implementing slot limits are well thought and good ideas.

I'm going to go with elimination of size limits and let's see what happens.

So enough on defending myself. I'm going to go off-topic and tell a fishing story. Back when I was a kid in Greenville my Daddy and his buddy, a Chinaman who sold tamales out of a push cart in the...

Let me try to clear up this misconception. I am not complaining about the fishing trip to Sardis 1st week of this month. We had great weather and caught lots of fish. Everything about this trip...

School me up on this. I thought the floodwaters were a result of excessive water from heavy snow during spring thaw in the upper midwest exacerbated by rains in the midwest. The flooding started in...

That was my thoughts too. The 4-lakes had no supporting role unless some of the flood water already on the fields and in houses made it into the drainage basin of the Talahatchie River.

We always called 'em Crappies, except when I lived in Louisiana where they were called Sac A Lait. I pretty much always lived in the south but have lived in other parts of the world as well. Never...

Did the 4-lakes acquire water off of the Mississippi River during the flooding of last year?
