this surprises me.

last year about this time when the frontier was still a proto-type...blake from nucanoe made a special trip to Corinth MS (where i work) on his way to memphis just so that i...

i bought them at one of the auto supply stores.

the ones i used had a battery pack installed so that customers in the stores can push the button to see them light up.

you just simply cut off...

wal-mart here (Corinth, MS) sells a very similar one by arkie. they have white, black/chartreuse, and red/chartreuse.

i like the double-tail because the angle of the 2 tails allow a perfect...

my brother-in-law asked me to come to southaven this friday and go crappie fishing down at arkabutla. he teaches school in senatobia and some of his students pointed out some spots somewhere near...

no i don't add weight in front of the crankbait, i just pick a crankbait that is designed to run at the depth that the fish will be holding.

if fishing super shallow during the spawn i'd use a...

i like using crankbaits as a "fish locator". i like casting a crank into areas where i think crappie maybe holding. if i catch a few in a spot i will generally downsize to a standard jig setup and...

i love baitcasters for bass and until i started crappie fishing, i did not own a spinning reel. baitcasters are great for casting heavy baits. and they have that great, smooth retrieve. if you try...

i wanted my lights setup so that i could run them off of a standard 12vdc plug like a spotlight uses.

before proceeding, i double fused the positive leads on this setup. don't skip fuses !!
...

i built this one from using a clear tube that is used to transport light bulbs.

its capped on the ends by pvc and waterproof pvc glue.

the green LED strip was bought at autozone. wired in a...

i started using these last spring and have a good luck with them. the baby shad in "electric chicken" color is the first plastic that i rig up now.

also the glow plastics have worked good for me...

i had a good day yesterday fishing some blowdowns in shallow water.

i was there around 45 minutes with only 1 bite. almost decided to go home as a storm was moving in. so i moved to another tree...

i'm sort of in the exact situation. a friend of mine bought a 1984 aluminum bass tracker and asked me to help him re-build the thing. it has a new 40 hp mercury engine and the hull is in fine...

having a bigger motor would help you in a tournament situation where you might need to move to one end of the lake to the other in a short amount of time.

for me, i started having success at...

hey you should also look at the Roger Gant model called "the difference".

i have a couple of these and like them very much.

i also use one for the "float and fly" method for smallmouth bass.

if you take the rose trail exit there is a ramp location on the north side of HWY 72 next to a bridge that is now closed.

from there you can get to some really good spots in less than 5 minutes....

good article here about crappie fishing at night:

The Night Sight-Bite For Crappies - In-Fisherman

"Im in"

i usually tie the first hook about 12-18" above the sinker. then another about 12-18" above the first one.

the sam heaton rod is super sensitive. 9ft is about as long as i can use without...

very good question and i have the same problem.

one thing a guy showed me is to be very precise with the presentation. instead of dropping the rig into the brush pile i just hoover at the very...

i know the 170 is just an entry level finder and i mainly use just for being able to see the water depth, temp, and bottom contour.

but i was wondering if you would be able to see schools of shad...

crappie rods are long for several reasons.

1. trollers use long rods so that they can get the lure out away from the boat...which spooks the crappile less. also trollers use different length rods...

wow - i was just in his store last week. bought one of his "the difference" rods.

yes, those are nice.

i built my own because i am sort of a DIY geek...i am in the telecom business so i have ample experience with circuits, soldering, etc.

wow, very well done.

absolutely. i soldered the 4 "white" wires together and that is the positive lead. then soldered the 4 "colored" wires together for the negative. just make sure to fuse the circuit.

i used the...

absolutely ! the more fuses the better.

I'm using a rechargeable 12V battery that was removed from a small computer UPS/surge protector. i bought one of those $8 black battery boxes and added the wiring, fuses, and battery monitor to it. ...

yes, i left the tube long so that i can modify it if i need to. don't know how fragile that tube is. it is pretty thin.

i am going to try to find some heavier clear tube online.

i built this green LED "tube" light this past weekend. i've been wanting one since i seen some guys at pickwick load the boat with crappie a few weeks ago using one of these.

i left it submerged...

yes, that would be great. thanks !
