Sad for sure... We made a big jump this year, though, so I'm happy for that. And the young, upcoming stars (Parayko, Fabbri and Gunnerson and Tarasenko) got a ton of playoff experience which should...

YES! We can beat them at their arena (already have) and if it comes back to Scott Trade, anything is possible.

Blues have shown they play better when their backs are up against the wall. Will they...

I hope they bring that same Game home for Monday's game!

I have to admit, after the first 3 games, I thought the Sharks' had our number and we were near elimination, especially after being shutout...

The vendors, restaurants and Bars will be licking their chops as they prepare to count the money rolling in!

As much as I love the Cards, my eyes will be glued to the TV and the Blues/Sharks game!...

Count me in, too! I have not missed a Single puck drop since the first game with the Blackhawks! Could this be the year?
My nerves are already shot, but I am Happy-Happy-Happy!

Good Luck on your race!

(Throw a Lure overboard and long/fast troll on the way down :-) )

Here you go. (Nice Crappie!!!)

Man... Those are some Dandies!
Even the brown Crappie Nibbles that lady is holding are Huge :yikes

Some tasty eating ahead!

Nice job, congrats!

Wow! That's a lot of minnows! Didn't know a 50 gallon would support that many. Right now, I don't know if any place around here sells them by the pound, but will start looking around.

I hope I can...

I tried a black barrel but it has seams about halfway up and it started leaking at one of the seams, so I switched over to a blue one with no seams.

My tank is up and running. So far, so good.......

Very nice, CP!

I'm hitting the back-water sloughs next week.... Can't wait...

Thanks for the report!

Here you go, Wilbur...

Thanks Mean Green

Yea... it was a productive day on the new boat - lol

I bought a thermometer and fish food today and a bracket to hold the aerator with 2 air-stone lines. Got a filter coming from Amazon tomorrow (Aqua-Tech Power Aquarium Filter, for 20-40 gallons)

Good job, guys! You sure know your stuff when it comes to catching those Crappie!

How about throwing us rookies a couple bones on how to do it? Not looking for any of your honey-holes, but what...

This is a great thread - thanks for starting it, Gilman!!!

I'm going to make one myself and have a couple questions...

1) I have 55 gallon Blue Plastic Barrels and a couple Black ones. Would...

I would think there are closer places to stay than Springfield, but I might be wrong.

I would call the office and ask: Thomas Moroney - 217-381-6377 (cell)
If you are going to use minnows, I'd...

You may be able to find the "Older Style" cable like mine (with the crimped-on eyelet) if you look around. (I may even have an extra one somewhere, if I do, I will donate to you, free of charge. Will...

I know this has been talked about before, but thought I’d contribute the info on my project in case it helps anyone.
I noticed my trolling motor cord was frayed badly in two places – imagine that? ...

I Love those rod-holders, they are adjustable, left or right and you can tilt them up if you're tight-lining. I like to position mine for Crappie level with the water. And, like you said, they come...

I bought those at:

Sea-Dog 90° SS Rectangular Base Rail Fitting, 2 Sizes

They come in 7/8s diameter or 1 inch. (I went with the heavier 1 inch in case

Had some rod-holders from pontoon boat I kept. They were mounted on aluminum angle iron.

For the new Stinger application, I bought SS bases and a length of 1" SS Rod. The bases, top and bottom,...

Now, that's funny about not telling your buddy until you got to the landing :Rofl

Who the heck wants to eat a greasy duck when crappie are available? (It is fun shooting them, but too much work...

I have a Minnkota Dual Bank charger (Model MK 210D) that I really like.

It has 3 stages of charging and indicator lights that show the progress of each battery.

Now that's a dandy! I can picture about 15 or 30 of those in my live well :fish

Took the Jon out the other day to run it a bit before putting it up for sale.

Decided to check out a slough on the river I'm thinking about Crappie Fishing.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much...

Holy Mackerel! I mean "Holy Crappie"!

Congratulations! And what a nice sportsman you are, turning that pretty baby loose!
Now exactly "where" did you release that fish? :juggle :fish

P.S. has...

Nice catch!

Just curious, but is that a "Coon Roll Cage" the fish are in? If so, great idea!

I have a couple of those, never thought about using them for fish - lol

Amen, Kenny :cheers2

The temps near the bridge were hovering around 39F at around 11am. (Was going to fish the South side of road, next to the rip rap, figuring the sun had heated up those rocks and drew in the bait fish...
