Any crappie up there?

My bud and I fished G-ville the morning of 10 Nov on Big G. Happy to announce BG mayfly is still producing fish. The bite was slow but we managed to catch 31 of which we only kept 11. 20 of them...

You should give it a try. Great fun to see a rising fish, cast upstream of him and hook him.

Well, I guess it's over for me right now. Crappie fishing has slowed down and it's time to get the fly rods out because the hatches are beginning on the trout waters. See you guys in the fall...

Red has been very good for us this year - the smaller the better. Generally we try to stick with 1/24 or 1/32, if possible. Even when pushing, we used light red jigs. We would rig enough weight...

Once, while fly fishing the Holsten River in NE Tennessee, I was doing pretty good catching stockers from 10-12 inches. An osprey was circling overhead, dove into the water and hauled out a 14 inch...

Wow, what a tough day. We launched at the Riverside Street launch in the channel and fished the portion of lake down by the dam with no luck at all. We couldn't find any fish on the fish finder and...

See my post above.

That is great, hope you load the boat.

Weiss abused us today.

Well, Weiss Lake had its way with us today. Only 2 keepers caught - which we promptly put back in the water when we got back to the ramp. Started the day at Yellow Creek pushing jigs and promptly...

I've always been told a high pressure situation will push the fish down while a low pressure system will bring the fish up. So far, this year, we have done well when the barometric pressure is...

Does anyone know of a good jig pushing rod that has a very stiff backbone with a Fast/Extra Fast tip section? The 12 footers I have now start bending well below the joint between the two sections...

Truly, a blue ribbon day.

This is the part of crappie fishing I'm completely baffled about - the transition between deep water and spawning grounds. So far this year, we have been doing well during the cold weather locating...

Good line. Someone on here, I forgot who, recommended me to start using spinning reels with a larger spool and that combined with Suffix works very well for me. I try to pull out all the line (at...

We will. But sometimes I wonder if we get too fixated on how we caught them the last time out and forget to be flexible.

Tough day today. Perhaps my fishing bud and I are stuck in a rut - we only managed 15 keepers today. We pushed jigs and we vertical jigged - got more strikes vertical jigging - sometimes casting...

Anyone know or hear if any of the tagged fish have been caught yet in the Crappie Rodeo?

You're not kidding, slow and you can barely detect the bite. We missed many fish, some really good ones got away and we threw back a bunch of short ones.

Launched out of Little River Marina, armed with some crappie tags, and hopeful to catch a money fish. Didn't happen but we kept 29 keepers after fishing from dawn to dusk. Conditions were good with...

Question: How much is the entry fee/crappie badge? I looked on the website and could not find the pricing.

My recommendation - get something about 6 feet with a very fast tip. I have a rod with fast tip that I spend my time watching the tip when I'm vertical jigging for that very faint tap - and the rest...

Agruss and Ccollins,

Thanks. That's the information I was looking for. Since we have a Cabelas close by, I'll take a look at them before I purchase one. Our older Foodsaver doesn't seem to want...

I know this isn't really related to this part of the forum, but there's not really a food prep sub forum - so here goes. Any recommendations on a vacuum sealer that is heavy duty enough to seal...

Thanks.

Problems with the hull?

I'm beginning to look at a boat to replace my last one, bigger for safety's sake. The boat I'm currently interested in is an Xpress 20 foot CC bay boat. It's powered by a 150 4 stroke Yamaha and...

Fishing yesterday, 3 Feb 17, my buddy was having a hard time contending with the wind - which was gusting from time to time. Seems his trolling motor, Minn Kota Max, was either a little too slow or...
