I drive to Paragould, Ark. At Pillows Bait farm I pay less than $4.00 a pound for large shiners, These are used for Walleye fishing on the rivers.

The past few weeks we have been fishing a couple of smaller, private lakes. Trying something different for us. Sitting in deeper (6-15 feet) water and casting to suspended crappie. Cast the 1/8 oz....

Wappapello just jumped 10 feet after the 5 inch rain. Most of the lake is muddy and water is way back in the buckbrush. Doodlesocking seems to be the order of the day. You know, stick the jig down in...

I spent the extra money for the Navionics card. The detail is still pitiful.

I scrimped and saved an finally got $800 in one pile at one time. Did my research, bought what I could afford, and eagerly waited for crappie season. I haven't been this disappointed since I learned...

We spent Saturday and sunday on Sardis. We kept 29 on Sunday with at least 10 in the 14 to 15 1/2 inch range. Fished 5 ft to as shallow as 2 1/2 feet.

Last Friday winds up to 20 mph. We got blown off Sardis, so we went to Enid because we heard we could get out of the wind. Bouncing around and getting no bites- big fun. Suddenly I am in the lake. My...

What is a blue and white gnat and where do I get some. Heading to Grenada soon

one sweet deal

one heck of a deal

Thanks for the quick response. I will probably go on Thursday. Water likely too cold an muddy; but I am tired of watching crappie videos on youtube and need to be on the water playing with my new...

Has anyone been up to Wappapello since the big freeze? I have the fever bad.

were you fishing in 8-12 foot of water or were you fishing 8-12 deep over deeper water. You had me fired up to go yesterday but the forecast had 18-25 mph winds. Now we have 10 inches of snow and ice...

Those slider grubs work great on smallmouths also.

well it was worth a try. If it had worked I would have been in tall cotton.

I ordered one of those $95 depthfinders from Optics Planet, just hoping it wasn't a scam. Yesterday the company emailed me that the order had been canceled. No reason why. Shucks, I needed that...

Well, I sucked it up and ordered the 597 ci for $95.Hopefully this is not a scam. Even if there are add ons I'm starting cheap enough. A new toy. Oh boy.

After fishing with my buddy and seeing his Lowrance HDS7 in action I knew I had to start hoarding hundred dollar bills. Now I can't afford $1400 or even $1000 but I see a couple options in the $500...

In two weeks Asher creek (state park area) may be going great. Everything is late this year. Right now it is Lost Creek.

I went yesterday (saturday) by myself. In the main lake huge trees are floating down river. Went to Lost Creek, water cold and stained. Almost went home, but started catching fish immediately. In 5...

There is an interesting thread going now in Crappie Cover and Lake Structure. Ducksandbucks started it, "Cane work" is the thread. This whole endeavor is about learning, isn't it?

Around here we call the river cane- bamboo. When I saw the first boo bucket picture on crappie.com it was like a light bulb was turned on. So simple. I finally dropped a couple and am making a couple...

Late march 2012 the crappie fishing was almost great on Wappapello. Good numbers, good size. If we have similar water conditions (low winter pool) in 2013 the fishing could be awesome. Welcome to the...

Does anyone have any suggestions about the Lake Wappapello Fall pattern? One person tells me the flats next to the channel and another tells me to head to the back of the creeks like the spring...

I searched and read a bunch of old threads about maximizers. I used this when I had a junky 12 volt trolling motor, it was cheaper than buying a new TM.
I now have a 24 volt system (not 12 /24) and...

This spring the fishing here on Lake Wappapello was easy and very good. I thought that I had this crappie thing figured out. All summer I have struggled and caught very few fish. Fall is coming and...

Went fishing and the boat startred a little rough but then ran great. 5 days later, go fishing and the boat won't start at all. Brought it home, replaced the plugs, it needed that but it still...

I have a Maximizer from the 70's or 80's. Will it work on a 12/24 trolling motor or a straight 24 volt motor? I need to get slower on my tm.

I ran a 40 hp Evinrude jet pump from about 1991 until I wore it completely out 2 years ago. The whole rig-boat, motor and trailer were a dishrag when I finally got rid of them. Great motors, on plane...

We kept 23 crappie, most from 10 inches to 13 3/4 inches. Casting 1/16 oz crappie jigs. Most of our fish still in the creeks but they have moved off the banks a little. And they aren't too far back...
