There ain't no greener pasture than the tournament spot.

I've won both ways, so I'm not going out on the limb either way. It's all in your personal library that's in your head. That sixth sense....

I use 1/8 or 1/16. Don't really add weight. But when fishing deeper or with wind and having to go heavy, I use the Capps/Coleman rig with the appropriate weight.

I go everywhere with two sets of rods. One with a double rig setup and one with a single rig setup. I use double rig in deeper heavy structure, when dealing with wind or current. No wind, shallower...

I've been roughed up there on KY lake many times before.

Lots of structure, and pressure. We fished heavy pressure areas day 1, but day two we found natural structure that did not have the...

Sometimes it's exactly that way, and other times of the year it'll be the exact opposite.

When artificial with "Capps and Coleman" style rig I would go light. Even simply using Donnies Knats. ...

Honestly BnM minnow rig is the rig style I use. I feel it's it has a lot of advantages including getting your rig out of a hang up.

BGJP or Sam Heaton, check them out. I like longer rod, 12 feet long, but that not really necessary, it's just that I like to handle nice fish on a longer rod. But reall your preference.

No wind,...

With lakes with current I've put structure in the TN river I've experimented with all kinds, up to 16 inch wide boards. In this case wider is better.

Smaller sized structure seems to me to be...

Blue/Purple When the crappie are wearing their tuxedos.

I caught the largest ALL male fish stinger ever on this 6-8 inches deep in a flooded cow pasture. 14lb 10 fish stringer.

Don't need scent with reaction bites. Speed is the key when spider rigging without minnows. Speeds from .6 minimum to 1.2 max. Anything with chartreuse in it is good. Clear lakes, see through...

Lawrence and Humminbird are both on my boat. They are different, and if you're serious about catching, you need both. Lowrance is good for maps on certain lakes, definitions and such. And...

P-line, flouroclear is my favorite. Very consistant line. Line strength changes depending on what we're rigging. I've gone from 4lb test to 15lb test. Depends what yuou're doing.

1/16 ounce...

BnM are the only rods we use. There may be other good rods out there too but we stick with what works for us.

I like a sensitive and flexible rod. Crappie detect resistance, and will react to...

I can relate to other similar lakes. Only fished Martin once.

Like Cave run lake in KY is similar. What they do is burry themselves in structure. It's a matter of putting a hook right down in...

Hi there,

For sure the show didn't make it on this weekend. It will be in the guide under Big Bass Battle. When you click on "info" on your controller then the info should show Crappie Time and...

Hey Guys !!! Whew !!!

I have been working nearly around the clock and headed out the door again now but I sincerely want to thank everyone for posting here and having some thoughts about...

Hey WB !!!

Thanks a million for the comment!

For sure the "library of lakes" and "real experiences" (water time) that I have logged away in my mind over the years is the basis for all my...

Hey thanks for the comment !!

You guys may get to see me catch a fish with one pole in hand that tipped the scales at 2.27 lbs on the very next show which we just finished on Lake Fork in Texas. I...

Brad ,

Decisions that I make on picking a few places to start out on a new lake come from my past experiences on similar lakes. Typically there will always be good numbers of fish in wide open...

Wow Jason !!

Its comments like yours that give us energy to do our best. Keep in touch and we surely look forward to making the trip to Russelville again.


Thanks,

Hi thanks for asking,

Yes we switched to single 1/8 oz Live Baby Shad by Lake Fork Trophy Lures since we were fishing much shallower (4 to 7 ft) water and heavy stumps. On day 1 we were Minnow...

Hey DI thanks for asking!

Yes we did switch to jigs. We were fishing much shallower (5 to 7 ft) and in heavy stumps. Minnow riggn is much more suited for the deeper water (down to 20 ft) that we...

Yes !! The Crappie Time Show is under the TV Guide title BIG BASS BATTLE since they bought the air time for 52 weeks. Click info on your remote for the Big Bass Battle Show and it will say Crappie...

Thanks Barry G !!

Hope we can get the bumps ironed out for an exciting show each time. Any input is appreciated.

RC

Wow Thanks HT !!

It is surely a juggling act to catch fish and be respectable in a tourney on a new lake and at the same time make a show for millions to see.

Hope we get the opportunity to do...

Hi Yall,

Just wanted to say THANKS to all the folks that have called, e-mailed, texed, and posted regarding our new show. We couldn't be happier from the positive comments that we have had...

Hi there CP !!!

Thanks so much for shouting and giving your opinion of the show.

To answer you there would be nothing better that I would like than to make a "Back in the Good Old Days "...

Hey man thanks for shouting !!

I surely would love to do a single pole cast flip dip etc. show however when we are doing shows in an actual multi-pole tournament it is tough
to compete when the...

Wow thanks Hunter !

Let us know what you liked and what you want to see in the future.

Thanks,
