Just got my Crappie World today and looks like my sub expired if this is Spring 2010. Gonna have to think about it before renew. Jim

Dutch, I didn't fully understand the question. To me longlining is lines way back of the boat pulling jigs, roadrunners or even plugs. I guess you could put a float way back there with a minnow. ...

Camotoy, thanks for sharing. Carried my 4-yr old grandson Nathan late this afternoon and kept 6 in about 2 hours. He reeled em all in and actually caught one all by himself. He loved it! Which...

Timbo, welcome to crappie fishing - you came to the right place. Good bunch of guys and most willing to help. Can't help with dockshooting - still trying to learn myself - but may be able to help...

Duck, been there, done that - at Talquin. Cranked first day, then trolling motor only or friends for next 3 days. Mechanic said he had rebuilt carb, then when I carried it back he had to do it...

Score, May be too late for you but this weeks Market Bulletin has a special section of tree farms in GA, addresses, and types of trees. None listed a Frazier Fir. There is also a Christmas Tree...

Score, good looking mess of fish from day before and like your marker. Was curious about something. When you say 'trolling' what do you mean ? When I say I'm trolling I mean long line trolling...

Cowboy - being retired I don't feel good spending that kind of $$ either - plus friends say I am just tight anyway. But have used Bass Pro Uncle Buck Rods, not poles, for years and only broke one...

PopPop, Think you could have a 'Girdler' or a 'Pruner'. Noticed a couple of small oak limbs today while scouting deer. Smooth rounding on the edges, broken through the center. 'Googled' this up. ...

Dawg - I bought 9 & 10' whupping stick rods last year to replace 10/12' BPS Uncle Buck poles and really do like them. I carry oldsters fishing that are bad to step all over your stuff, bend it...

Lb - I use driftmaster and do not have the open side, but if you mount the holder as shown on the right side of boat I can see where a striper or hybred or even a solid hang-up could pull the rod tip...

Cook - I had U-Haul install trailer hitch and wiring on new Toyota couple of years ago. Hitch is great - no problem. But with Toyota - and many others now -they have to install a 'Converter' box...

I thought about mixing wood and pvc using Earnest Paty design that he posted pics of on down the way in this section using half bucket, short pieces pvc and 45 degree el's. But in the center put a...

Cat - I've used 10 and 12 ft BPS Uncle Bucks Crappie rods for years trolling and spider rig. Hard to beat at $18 for 12', $16 for 10. They collasp (?) down to about 3-3-1/2 ft and have several...

MO, go over to the Georgia forum and look for thread 'Trolling For Crappie Year Around' from 2 or 3 days ago. Info you want is there but entire thread is good info on trolling. May be what you are...

I use to go to the 'Fisharama' in GA every year and the guy that made those was at several of the shows. He gave them away just to get you to try them -- said they really worked at attracting fish...

I long line troll most of the time when they are not hitting a cast jig and cork or a roadrunner. I usually fish out the back of my boat - a 16' Fisher Marine - and I fish on the left side -too...

Splitter - assume you've been putting in at Redlands ramp -- the Swords ramp is not far away and there is a bridge just south of there - believe it may be Swords Road. Also, south of there is Blue...

Ship - would also like a copy. Thanks in advance, Jim. [email protected]

Went back to Appalachee side up from Blue Springs and Swords Wed 4/9 - from about 3 to 7 caught ZERO crappie. If it had not been for a few hybreds would not have had a fish. Long line trolling and...

Bob - got it and it looks like a great rainey afternoon read ! Thanks for sending and thanks for all your hard work. This much info didn't take you hours but days to put together!! Jim

Skip - had right eye done 3 weeks ago - still in the 'drops 4 times a day' mode. Was nervious going in but there is absolutely no pain. You are awake but drops numb your eye and you will see some...

Thanks - just looked and he is not in phone book but that 319 # could be a cell. I enjoy longline trolling but need to work on slow/spider/pushing, etc. Will give him a call this week. Thanks, Jim

Harley - who was the Oconee guide - am interested in a guide trip and in pushing or slow trolling would like to learn. Appreciate name and number if you have it. Thanks, Jim

Thanks - good luck. I do hope to start getting to some of the organized things - went to one at Oconee 2-3 years ago and enjoyed it. Think they have gotten lots bigger since then. Deuce, will look...

What is going on in April ? Is this another one of the fishing slabfest, crappie fest or whatever -- not sure of the schedule. May have time now to start attending some of these and meet some of...

Jimmy - so glad you're back. Follow docs orders and get back in a boat asap. Jim

You're right about Oconee wearing you out. Never seen a lake that can turn on you like that. Wore me out again Sat. Does seem the lake was better for me 5 or 6 years ago than last couple or 3. ...

Fished Appalachee Sat from about 2 to 5 o'clock from Swords on up about a half mile to big cove on left. Wind tough, waves, etc. Finally caught one decent crappie long line trolling over the...

Thanks for all the good suggestions. After reading both here and off the GA board I see I am not alone with problems with these things. I think the biggest problem is that Uhaul converter is too...
