All info and replies are much appreciated. I hope time and the weather allows us to work in some time at Talquin on our trip. Thanks again to all.

I'm heading for Spring Training from IL via Biloxi and across I-10 headed for Jupiter. I'd love to crappie fish Talquin for a half day. Can anyone recommend a good guide?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated!

I am upgrading my fish finders to Lowrance HDS7 and 8 with SI and downscan. I currently have 5 inch units in dash both at the console and the trollling motor. I am leaning toward putting the HDS8...

Welcome to the site...you'll never regret taking up crappie fishing. This is a sport for a lifetime.

I was at a Grizzly Jig seminar a couple years ago and heard Ronnie Capps, of Capps and Coleman fame, say that they only use one color jig skirt: lime and chartreuse (Midsouth). He said if the...

I was there about ten days ago and caught a bunch of runts that looked stunted to me. I can only assume that there are better fish to be caught there. I used to go there more regularly but got...

I'm on my second one. Looked at the Triton TA196...great crappie boat...but I just love the quality of the Ranger boats.

Just my humble opinion.

I have a two year old Ranger 188 w/a 150 Merc Optimax...I love everything about my boat but the speedometer is not giving me an accurate read...Any suggestions for a quick fix or should I take it...

You are right about it being cool down there last week. Low 40's in the mornings, but nice in the PM. This week will bust them loose with temps predicted in the upper 70's and low 80's with warmer...

We spent a few days at Mansard Island Resort on the Big Sandy in TN last week. The spawn is not really on quite yet. The forecast makes it look really good for later this week. We didn't have the...

Old man hemi said it right.

I think the Good Lord must have big plans for you. I've got five kids of my own, and I know your dad is happy that you are okay and the other things can be replaced....

We just got back from spending four days at Mansard. We fished everywhere...Swamp, West Sandy, New Hope, Elkhorn, the Wires...and caught some fish everywhere, but couldn't establish a steady...

Man, that's what it is all about! That boy will be a crappie fisherman for the rest of his life!

That's great news. I'd rather watch Midwest Crappie than anything on TV...even if I have to look at Richard Williams :D. Aw, I'm just kiddin...I'd actually like to see more shows with old...

Other than waiting for the water to warm and to clear up, what works best for you in getting them to bite in cold and muddy water? Any successful strategies out there?

CR

I think there is a 25 horse limit on the lake. I had a permit a few years ago, and I caught 25 to 1 dinks to keeps. Maybe it's changed since then. I bought the permit after hearing there were some...

Congrats on the new boat...I hope you have many a great fishin' trip in it!

CR

Hey TNT,

Good lookers there...you better buy a new cooler or two...looks like you're gonna need them.

CR

Did you put in at Britton Ford?

CR

I admire your persistence. Here's hoping the "wind gods" smile on you this time around. Good luck.

For fishing around the Mansard Island area on the Big Sandy, you can't find a better guide or nicer guy than Richard Williams. His cell phone is 731-336-3550.
