Retirement!!! I'd recommend it to anyone ... particularly if you are blessed with good health to go with it. ENJOY !!!

Just got back from 5 days at LOZ ... used the new Power Pro Slick 8 V2 for the first time and REALLY like it. Casts great with 1/32 jig. And that 4/15 braid helps save a lot of snagged hooks. It...

We will be at Alhonna the same time ... Monday check-in ... cabin 4

I'd appreciate some feedback from other c.com members on sickle hooks vs. regular hook shape for catching crappie. What do you use and why is one shape better for you. I use a 32oz. jig head. ...

Last year, one of the members alerted us to a sale on Pflueger President reels, which I really appreciated. I bought two and have enjoyed using them so much I want to get more ... when they go on...

Saw the same thing two days in a row at LOZ on Wednesday and Thursday of this week under a pontoon boat that was raised up out of the water. Couldn't get any to bite on Wednesday. Got 5 to bite on...

Just not all 6" at once, please!

Many years ago my Dad and I were fishing a bank at LOZ using the trolling motor. A skier came by us pretty close, waving and hollering. We kept fishing the bank and the skier circled and came back...

Try: Pop Snagger on Youtube. Has a video that looks like what you described. let us know if that's it. Also look up: popsnagger on Facebook. If that's it try: Dennis Higgins, 34113 199 St.,...

Day Dreamer,

Took your advice and looked at the hook cleaner on BPS site. Was a lot of comments that it didn't work well on eyes of smaller panfish hooks. Have you had that problem?

For those with bi-focals, bigger fingers, and not a lot of patience, I discovered an easy way to clean the paint from hook eyes. Take one of those push pins with the plastic knob on it for...

I use PowerPro Super Slick 8 ... 4lb. test ... and I use the Huckabee knot for my crappie jigs. It allows a lot of movement of the jig head. And it is pretty easy to tie.

It may be an old fisherman's tale, but I've always heard that when the cows are lying down, the fishing isn't going to be good. And it has been my experience that this is true a lot of the time.

Just a heads up ... in one of the previews of ads on Black Friday, Gander Mt. will have the Rapala HD fillet knife on sale for $39.99. A good price if you're in market for one. Not sure if that...

I bought one today for $48 from Dick's Sporting Goods ... one day sale, good till 11 PM. Free shipping. Go to Dick's Sporting Goods website for info.

A good approach is to contact a real estate agent you or someone you know trusts. They will send info on a regular basis. I've got one I've been working with. Email me if you want his name ......

I'm looking for some help from fellow CDC friends. I'm not able to get the Krappie Kings show on TV and would like to see the one done recently from Lake Kinkaid, Il. Anyone know how/where I can go...

I like the Shimano Spirex series. Comes in a couple of styles depending on line weight. Can't beat the automatic bale release. Cost: $59 at BPS.

Monark King 190,

Thanks! Russ Bailey is the guy. I found the video I was looking for ... go to: Russ Bailey youtube. Get list of shows from Midwest Crappie Shows ... scoll down, click on Load...

DJCoop52,

I've fished Kinkaid for over 20 years. A beautiful lake with lots of deep water and different topography. I like to put in at Paul Ice Ramp. It's right across from the marina ... a...

I always use the uni knot for everything. It's easy to tie and the more the fish pull, the tighter it gets. It's the knot they use at Bass Pro ( at least at St. Charles, Mo ) when they spool your...

To all the great people on Crappie.com .... MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR! May Santa fill all your live-wells and fish-baskets with 14 inch crappie!

I have a 1988 StarCraft Super fisherman, 16 and half foot, v bottom with walk through windshield and 90 hp 2005 Mercury Optimax. It's old, bought it new, but I really like it. Yes, a strong wind...

Count me in ... love to use Bobby Garland baby shad

It just doesn't get any better than fishing with your son. Wish I could do that more.

Looks like a crappie fisherman's bonanza! Love to fish with those BG lures.

That little lady joins an elite group of people who fish ... not many of us can claim we caught a 10 lb. bass.... my personal best is only 7.5 lbs. I'm not even close to her! And she caught it on...

I've fished at Kinkaid since 1981, and while I always fish for crappie, I've only caught 2 Walleye ( and three small Muskie ). Good luck!

Alhonna Resort at the 8 MM sells gas and has a restaurant.

I also spent some time researching marine batteries a few months ago since I needed to replace one of mine. Depending on the type you need ( deep cycle or starting ) and how much you want to spend,...
