Our pleasure...that's what this is suppose to be about. :D

Let us know what part of NE Indiana as there is quite a bit of distance from where Travis is referring to and the Rome City area. And...

You are in luck. I ice fish that area but more importantly my brother-in-law lives in the Rome City area and ice fishes all the time. :D

You can send a message here to me if you don't want to...

Me too. ;) Thanks Ed.

I really like the yellow one :cool: and the decals was a nice touch. Thanks again.

Tim: What would be the best way to troll the cranks at that depth? I tried trolling cranks before and haven't had much luck controlling them at depths. And thanks for the minnow tip...might give that...

It's exactly what Roberta states...like a swarm of bees.

Get this though the only keeper was an 11 incher right on the bank. And no more would hit and we tried hard to duplicate that cast. The...

Oh yeah. Congrats on the largemouth. All ours were around 1.5 pounds.

Water temperature was 76 degrees. And most of the crappie we marked were with bait fish.

Bill

You know it just didn't (and doesn't) make sense to me. I use to bass fish all the time, do it now just for fun once in awhile, but you could usually get them to bite. These crappies were complete...

Well...fishing stunk Friday through Sunday. :(

I'm sure the weather pattern and full moon contributed but this is our worse week-end in months. :confused: The crappie were very deep over deep...

Okay...I'm off tomorrow at noon and be back Sunday night. I'm going to try the spinner combo that Travis suggested. I'm too cheap to order from Bass Pro so will continue to use Wally World's curly...

Hmmmm.

Keep in mind that if you have an oil injection motor then MAYBE it's okay. The oil will be injected when it runs on starter fluid so it might be okay. I'm not advocating you use starter...

Great Travis...now it's your turn to help me. ;) We constantly have bluegills "peck" at the trolled curly tails and we NEVER hook one. And we lose a fair amount of tails. What type of spinner, how...

Got out this morning at a northern lake that is natural but only has a maximum depth of 23 feet. Water temp was 76 degrees, north wind, chilly, and spitting rain early.

Trolled in 8 foot of water...

As will I...back Monday evening.

Going to troll deep for 'em. Tried cranks (zero fish) last week-end for a couple hours and my wife caught the biggest (12") and most on a curlytail. Go figure.
...

Actually that's a good question. My fishing partner and I had that discussion a couple weeks ago.

I never paid any attention to it...sometimes up and sometimes down. He insisted thay have to be...

I went to my local Wally World (probably one of the smallest in the USA) and the Shad Raps were $5.34!!! I bought a small Bomber instead. I have some small Rebels from my "old" bass fishing days so I...

Thanks Roberta and Travis for the tips. I'm a big time supporter of trolling for crappies but ALL I've ever used are curly tails. Now I have something else to try.

I'm guessing the crankbaits...

Thanks for the posts guys.

I didn't get out at all. Minor surgery on my foot and stomach (I know...they aren't related but hey once you're out might as well get everything done) ;) I will be...

See my 6/14 report. It turned into two days and rain (storms) forced us off one of those. Fished for bass the next day to keep my brother-in-law happy. Caught a few little ones. Going again tomorrow...

Understand the "catch up"routine when you get back syndrome.

Sounds like it wasn't a bad trip. I'll make you feel better...went up year before last, 2 hours north of Wawa, in July. The weather was...

Not a bad way to be Cane Pole. I have pretty much survived the same as you (no grandkids though) so understand where you are coming from.

Treepotato keep in mind that Salamonie has a warning for...

Well I should have stayed home and fished my pond. All it did was rain :mad: . A few small crappies between showers .

Spent Sunday fishing for bass :o so didn't have a chance to see if crappies...

Welcome OT...and please feel free to ask or report any crappie info you might be interested in.

I can tell you that you are in a good part of the state to catch some nice crappies. If you need...

Well...still looking for more posts. C'mon everyone you all have to be fishing once in a while. Moose and I will eventually get tired of talking to each other.

My pond was on fire this evening and...

Small world huh? Moose is a Purdue grad so the little "slam" was against him. My son... a long story. He was suppose to graduate in 1989 but quit with one semester to go. He just finished that long...

Thanks Moose and Indy...let's show those North Carolina people (they have a high posting rate) we catch crappie in the midwest too. And we talk about it.

Moose I've enjoyed your posts over the...

As promised...but not proud of it. And let's hear how others are doing. You don't have to be specific but maybe weather conditions, type of baits, deep or shallow, etc.

The weather was 'right",...

You got the hard part figured out. ;)

The cover close to the break lines seem to be the best place to start. I hardly ever fish for them in the cover or right at the edge. It probably is...

It was in the Wawasee area. There's bunches of small lakes in the area and most are electric only.

I've found the best way to catch them is small curly tails fished slow. They are moving out a...

Well...don't post here much but since I am the moderator I should at least say something. So hi to all who frequent here and if you need anything just give me a yell. :D

Now on to the report....

I live and fish in Indiana so my vote is: Indiana.

I haven't posted before (been reading for months), just did on the old site to see if I could help Roberta out, but I do run another site for...
