I like the longer poles, because I mostly like to fish vertical cover, and can do so more precisely tightline fashion, or with short flips. The longer poles allow me to keep the boat farther from...

I have used some Outlaw, WM, B-n-M, Silstar, and HTs, and my favorite is my older 10' HT Crappie Commander. I bought it several years ago, and can no longer find the style, or I would buy several...

three at a time in Indiana, and I believe no more than two hooks per line. They have some convoluted method of counting hooks on crankbaits, etc. But I believe if you had say a vertical trolling...

My favorite color for clear water (reletively shallow fishing) is red glitter pearl leg tubes, and white/pearl curly tails. I also like blue and white, pink and white, and blue with clear glitter...

Hey guys, I am going with a friend to fish Dogwood for the first time this weekend. We are going to be after crappie, but he also wants to try to catch some perch. Anybody give us any tips (general...

Thanks CP! Always happy to help support this fine site!

Thanks, I'll check my BPS catalog, I have a gift cert. from there I need to use anyway.

Anybody know where I can order some? I have been searching the Walmarts around here high and low, they hvae creme grubs and tubes, but no one has the lil fishies, and I would like to try some on an...

Don't know what the water temps are at Brookville, but I have good luck resevoir fishing when the water is in the 40s suspending a tubejig below a float. I use a very small float, and a 1/32 or 1/64...

Just about all the people I give fish to I owe some grattitude, they let me hunt on there land, or a re old-timers who have given me some tips or "hotspots". I just clean them before I drop them...

Mixed results for me. I have tried the maggots, and one day we tore up the perch on them through the ice. the rest of the winter, nothing would tough them. I used the minnows in canada and the...

I see them feeding topwater quiet a bit on one of the lakes I fish, and they make a different swirl than a bluegill. Once you get the hang of it, you can tell them from the other panfish, and target...

Just a tip, I use some of the slider hooks, and also some similar hooks by Renegade you can get a Walmart, quite a bit cheaper. They are gold hooks, and unpainted, but word just as well.

Ah, I know the jigs your talking about now, I think. THey should work fine under a float. That is my favorite way to fish tubes as well. With some chop on the water to bounce the bobber, it gives...

A tip on the Blue Fox jigs, if they are the "roadrunner" like ones, they work very well. I cast them with a slow retrieve, or a slow retrieve with a tip dropping action to give them "fall", both...

Yeah, pretty dependent on where you are. Here in Indiana, they don't have as long a growing season. From time to time you hear of a 17-18" fish, but I have my sights set on 16". I'd like to get a...

I will be making some stake beds this year for the first time. I plan on doing some with pallets and scrap wood, others with a milk jug base, soem cement, and some pieces of PVC pipe.

Okee, just had to laugh. My buddy and I are planning a trip this weekend to look for some crappie, and we are hoping for some 50degree rainy days to warm the water up some! Is 30s days, down to...

Alright then. I will order a couple and give them a look see and a try. If they infact turn out to be the greatest crappie lure ever created, I will start the rumors accordingly.

Anybody tried these? They look like they would be good for some stained/dark water trolling I do in the summer. Just curious if anyone has tried them and how they worked...

Thanks guys. It sounds like there could be a progression of colors to consider. Like if red is working good at a depth in a lake, and daylight changes and the bite wanes, a change to a more pastel...

The 10' pole I bought has the foam handle, and is a bit stiffer than both the HT and the Silstar, and I broke both of those last spring. Hope it is as sensitive, but I primarily thill float fish...

I have at least a bit of an idea of color choices for different water clarity conditions, but is there a rule fo thumb or guideline for color and depth (all else being equal)? Such as, I know I have...

I just picked up a 10' Outlaw at our boat show. Can't wait to try it out, I like how light it is, as I like to do a lot of flipping and short casting with my long poles. Most seem pretty heavy...

Hey guys, I have a buddy who is going to upgrade his bow mounted troller. His old one is a cable control, and he is wondering about sticking with that or getting one of the electric foot pedal...

My buddies and I caught quiet a few on home-made beetle spins type lures last summer, trolling them off the break.

Thanks guys. A local sporting goods store is closing a location, and liquidating all inventory, so I am trying to find a good candidate among what they have, since they are pretty cheap. I can see...

What makes the best dock shooting rod? I have never done this but want to give it a try this year. Do you want a short whippy (Ugly Stick) type rod, or do you want a short, stiff graphite type rod?

You guys using the beaver tails, are the 2" better than the 1.5"?

Anybody know where I can order both? Up here in the north, we don't have a lot of crappie tackle to choose from at the local stores, and I can't find what I want in the Cabela's or Bass Pro...
