Thanks for the reply. I was thinking it might be good mushroom hunting and of course in the boat as well. Sounds like I better keep looking!!

Been kind of wanting a gps unit and had my heart set on a used gpsmap 76 but as yet haven't found the deal to make it work.
bPS's has the Magellan Triton 500 for $99.00 which is about 100 dollars...

Except it was a little older. a 17' foot Lowe. Like already stated, the guy I bought mine from had really taken care of it. It certainly does not look new but I'm very happy with it. It also has the...

Any locals willing to share what is their favorite bluegill/perch lake? About a 35 mile drive for me and I tend to fish Big lake or Bear. I have tried a couple others but I would rather get to know...

They were clear. I put in at the ramp on 700W near 9 and 124. Didn't have any trouble at all. I asked the guy at bait shop and he said all the ramps were still open. I fished for about four hours and...

Thanks. I was at Salamonie on Monday and something was tearing the top to pieces. I figured it must be some kind of bass but didn't know. I almost cast a rapala floater but was jigging crappie with...

So, are the white bass good to eat? How do you fix them? And last but not least, what did you catch them on? Nice mess of fish!

Steve

Got out for about four hours this morning. Talked to a guy on the ramp who said he'd been catching them in about 5' of water. Did that for awhile and caught a few nice crappie and several small ones....

Makes all the sense in the world once someone puts it in terms a rookie can understand. Thanks to all!

Steve

Okay, another "newbie" question. On an entry level fish finder are there clues as to what kind of fish are on the screen? I don't mean clues generated by the finder I mean clues such as depth and...

Gee, that's too bad, BTW, do you have the gps coordinates for said "honey hole"? :p

Steve

Well, for starters, it's a campground or "resort". In the middle of nowhere and hard to find, seems like every road going to it is one way or dead end sometimes. But there is also a store attached to...

A little town called Huntington, about 25 mile south and west of Fort Wayne and about 40 mile or so from the Ohio line. Usually fish some of the more northern lakes. Big lake, Bear lake and the like,...

Thanks, but unless they have a "newbie" class I'll pass this year. Just not quite ready for that yet, although it would be a great way to learn I think. Do you know if the check in will be at...

Three of us went out this morning and it was beautiful. We fished about 4 hours and caught two decent crappie and a bluegill I kept cause it swallowed the hook. Talked to several other fishers and...

Brother, a friend of his and I are headed there this morning, looks a beautiful day whatever else happens!

Steve

Son and I went fishing this morning, he's 30 and the first time we've done anything "together" since he was in pony league baseball. So, that was good!

Driving out, rolled down the electric...

Thanks for the thoughts, I was just curious. I remember as a kid visiting with a friend who's parents had a cottage on big lake in Whitley county. At night, there were boats with lanterns crappie...

It seems from what I've read here and on other sites many more crappie are caught from reservoirs and impoundments than are caught from natural lakes. Is that correct? If so, why would that be? There...

First of all, thanks to all for the thoughts and opinions. Catfan, I see what you mean and I would never have noticed such a thing on my own, as I said, I am very much a novice and probably could get...

Wife and I got out about 8 oclock this morning. We found an area of stick ups in about 14' of water and anchored kind of on one edge of them. Fished for about an hour and had no bites on crawlers or...

Okay crappie gurus, here's a couple of pics from a local reservoir lake.

When buying something like this for the first it's so hard to make a good decision or even to understand exactly what you're buying. That's the great thing about forums and people who are willing to...

Did a search and found lots of info on gps units and it seems this one would be a good choice for me. I'd like to ask anyone who has this unit a couple or three questions but first I'll talk about my...

Did you have issues launching or loading? I know Roush is being taken to winter pool and there's about 5-6' of moss exposed on the ramps. It's like a ski slope! I think they've started dropping...

Ever heard of them? I was at Wally's a few weeks ago wanting to replace a reel on an ugly stick. I had a reel in my hand and happened to notice this uglycast reel on clearance. Said it was designed...

That's a nice fish, but really, I like your hat!! Go Colts!

Steve

But that information is in a book from Sportsman Collection. There are actually two books
A "northern" book and a "southern" book. I put those those in parenthesis because the state is actually...

Anyone ever fish it and have success? I live only a couple of mile from and have tried my hand several times this year with absolutely no success. Mind you, I am very new at this. I have tried...

I've been woodworking since the early 70's and the desire ebbs and flows. Biggest reason I never went professional as it's a hobby and a release for me. I also reclaimed some wood from my brothers...
