Here in WV when the temp hits 56*-58* they really start firing up. By 58* they are up in the heavy cover, and in shallower water here. And 58*-60* is when the bite is really hot here for Crappie. ...

I worked as a tackle salesman for alot of years back in the late 80's and 90's. Kentucky and Barkley were in my territory(not the western side of KY lake). IMO the best fishing is on the eastern...

I have fished Lake Orange a good bit. Your picture is the calmest I have ever seen Lake Orange. It seems like the wind is always blowing on that big lake. You are a braver man than I to take a...

I like to fish the brush in the lakes here in WV. And normally how I do that is with a bobber. Then I cast into the wind and allow the wind to blow the bobber across the top of the brush. So my...

What do you guys consider the ultimate dropper rig?? Or in other words how do you put together what you consider the ultimate dropper rig?? Do you just tie your hooks to the line above you sinker??...

IMO the amount of Crappie a certain structure is going to hold is totally dependant on the lake and the surroundings you put the cover in. If you have the only cover in a very big flat then that...

Do you have a thermometer?? What temp. is your alloy??

I have cast with all types of lead. Personally I do not think your alloy is your problem.

IMO it has to do with:

1. Mold temp at...

I like to fish tree tops. Basically there are two types of tree tops that I look for. One is from a tree that has fallen down into the water. And the other is normally a group of trees where a...

That looks identical to the Grizzly 1648 I sold. Except the Grizzley had a solid seat across the back where yours has two seats.

When I put the floor in mine I did it with a 3/4" sheet of...

I am hoping to get back on the lake this summer at the earliest. Hopefully for sure by fall. I have been shopping for a new boat to take out with me this year coming. And I couldn't think of a...

I have used several different lines and types of line to fish for Crappie. Currently my reels are spooled with 10# SpiderWire or 4# FluroCarbonm line. I also use some 20# Berkley Big Game on my...

Skidz I would really appreciate it if you could take a couple of pictures of what the floor looks like. I would really appreciate it. Tom.

Fortunately I do not have to pay any "alimony". I play cards with a guy who worked for the local newspaper for many many years. He always took the "linotype"(type set) when they were throwing it...

I like doing it that way in windy weather when I am floating bait over top of sunken brush piles. The state puts alot of X-Mas tree fish locators in our lakes here in WV. And I float a jig with a...

I will tell you how I found mine. Do a search on "Cold Water Diving Gloves". The best products for cold weather are what those cold water divers wear. You will find several good links when you do...

I have probably got about 1,000# of WW in those buckets under the bench that needs to be cleaned up into ingots. I have about 2,000# more of WW already in ingots and on a shelf not in the photo. As...

Anybody have one of the G3----1756's?? That looks like a pretty good boat. The front platform is very small. It looks like a step only, but it probably has some floatant under it. It looks like...

Can you think of anyplace else you would like to be as much as fish camp??

I like to hear about other peoples fish camp. So I would like to tell you about ours. Then I am looking forward to...

Thanks guys. I am really loking forward to learning some stuff from you guys. I also joined because I am hoping to do alot of traveling in the next few years. And I want to mostly travel to lakes...

Great job. Now all you need is a sharp knife, and some potatoes for a good old WV fish fry. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing the pictures!! Tom.

IMO the trick is in the extra heavy sinker. That sinker makes the line drop straight down into the brush. There is always a hole in the brush, you just have to find it. Then when the big sinker...

I thought I was particular about my jigs and flies until I ran across this forum. Man you guys pay some attention to detail. Heck all I do is pour my jigs. Then dip them in white paint, then dip them...

You guys will probably think I am crazy. But I actually use a casting rod(7 foot) with an Anmbassador reel and heavy 20# line. Then I tie off two short 6" leaders for my minnows or jigs. I use a...

I already have a custom seat built that I use now. It works perfectly on a flat area. I will be putting it in my new boat. That is one reason that a casting platform is out of the question. The...

Anybody have a phone number or location for this F&F?? I will look and see if he has a web site. Thanks, Tom.


Never mind, I found their web site. Going to have to give them a call.

I have been looking at the G3 boats. And I have actually been offered some good deals on a few new G3's.

I am just not sure about the stick steer for the above reasons I pointed out....

Yes I have. But I ruled it out. I talked to several boat mfrs. and dealers about a stick steer. They all said the same thing. Anything over 25 HP is dangerous to run with a stick steer. A few...

I am new here, and don't want to step on any toes. But I sure hope we don't start any Crappie Tournaments on our WV lakes. Sutton is my favorite Lake. And it is great for fishing. But I hate...

Below is a picture of my casting table. I cast bullets, sinkers, and jigs. Been casting for along time. That is one of the old Hilt's production pots on the right. Table is set up for bullets...

I am in the market for a new Crappie Fishing boat. First I will tell you what I have. Then how I want to change it. Looking for tips, possible places to buy(I can travel to buy), And particular boats...
