We usually cast around trees to find the fish. then if we don't get bit that way we go tree-to-tree verticle casting. All of the bites, mush, slack line, swimming sideways ect....

are you guys catching your fish? We've been getting them out of brush piles in roughly 10' of water with any color jig.

We've been out twice and got about 100-150 small ones and probly 50 nicer one's the next. Verticle casting around trees in roughly 10' of water.

On basscenter on ESPN2 they gave their boat a bath at the car wash. The hose gives enough power to get the microscopic bacteria that you might carry from lake to lake. They recommended this to do...

lol, i have a pillow just like that. the eyes have been beaten up, looks like it has cateracts. oh well. neat to say the least.

Yes we did!! Its awesome, till you feel a slight tug, set your hook and........snag!! they're easier to get out in a boat though. We got bit on the jig's way down a lot of times, which is crazy...

I carry my tackle in two or three of those small clear tackleboxes and throw them in my back-pack. I break my rods down (not snap then!! they are two peice) and put them in my bag as well. It's a...

Those are hilarious. The other day i was fishin off the only dock on the lake when 4 older kids from another school was getting ready to pull their boat out. They got the front clipped onto the...

Me and dad took the lil alluminum jon boat out to the lake that we caught a bunch of little crappies in on saturday. there are about 7-10 old christmas trees set up in a row sitting in (estimated)...

i've heard channel cats are the best cats to eat...but we don't have blues in my local area that i know of. I think "best fish to eat" varies person to person. i like walley and crappie. YUMMY!!!

HogPaw, thats funny, i just caught one like that last night!!! I think mine was an inch or two bigger though ;). LOL, that would be a heck of a fight!!

we used to use minnows in trees and i caught a 5 lb cat...not near that big!!! wow.

thanks a bunch guys. i'll probly use a notebook with tally marks, that way, i can take notes at the same time.

What is the best way to keep track of the # of crappies you're catching? I hate guessing and possibly being 30-40 fish off. also, we're headed out to the lake this weekend that produced around a...

Went back out tonight for about 20-30 mins. and fished that orange/chart. jig and caught 7, biggest 11-12". Smallest was about 8, most in the 8-9" range. I've got a plan now: bass fish during the...

think i'll get my fly rod ready for tonight. They were hitting my jig right below the surface as dad got the boat strapped down. flies will be fun.

Got the new boat ( cheap 14' V-hull jon boat, used ) out on the lake to try for some crappies!!! I started with a dark green/light green jig about 2-2.5' on a bobber. caught 5 that way around some...

welcome aboard!! im kinda a newbie to crappie fishin as well. ive been reading posts on here and have learned a TON. that dock(s) looks like a nice little spot. fish the deeper ones during the...

went back out last night...same thing, not a bite. i think i'll give it another shot tonight though, im bound and determined to catch some more.

went out today from noon-4 and caught two little tiny gills. ticked me off. tough conditions though, windy and storms in the area. i think i'll go out later this evening and give it another shot.

haha, thats the one and only dock on the lake. the lake is about 28 acres. just a lil wooden dock about 30 feet long, 20 into the water, and a lil boat ramp. good crappie fishing though. thats...

lol thanks for the tips cp. the only problem is that the dock is a weird one, there is big barrols to help it float. that is why i cant get my jig under the dock. idk why that color combo works,...

Hey guys, havn't been on here in a while. I finally got to go to the the older lake here and jig around the dock. I was usin a orange/chart. 1.5" jig in a white jig head w/ 4# line and my ol' ultra...

I use a tackle bag. Its ment to be a hiking bag, I think, but i have several little boxes for all my stuff. It works well enough for me. And when we take the boat out i just pack a little box so...

You guys ever bass fish these lakes? I found a little weekend anglers bass fishing club out of winterset that i will possibly be fishing a few tournaments with on these lakes. also, don williams??...

ROFLMAO!!! if bull frogs get that big, i am moving to mars or somewhere where they are not able to gulp us down like a bluegill!!!! then again, they can probly jump to mars when they are that big...

Nice rack! lol, i got ONE crappie the other day. first one of the year. i couldn't get ne more to bite though. good job

Hey guys, i found a new "secrete weapon"...here it is. its a little 1" long crankbait from bass pro shops!!! i got about twice as many on it than on worms!! get some, they are AWSOME!!
