My new to me fishing rig. Built in '84 by Empire Boat Works for the TP&WD as a Game Warden patrol boat. I just bought her from the second owner, 17' OAL and some 80" of beam. And yes, that's really a...

I also use the Betts Mr. Crappie slip floats, unweighted. Sometimes I will stick a porcupine quill into them to get a little better/quicker indication if the crappie are rising with the bait. You can...

Long Lining is what we refer to as traditional trolling. It amounts to having any number of rods out the stern or sides of the boat and pulling the bait at a pretty good distance behind the boat.

Yesterday was kinda slow around the shop/office and one of my coworkers talked me into leaving early and going fishing. So we peeled off around Noon, I ran home for the boat and gear and we met up at...

I generally fish with 6-8 rods. Four set up like you use, 6 footers with Shimano Sienna 1000 reels, two 8 foot BnM rods with small baitcast reels and two ten or twelve foot BnM rods with small...

Look about right jimfish?

As long as my arm from my hand to my elbow!:D About 18-20 inches.

Yep, two 3-way swivels. I tie the 3-ways to the braided line and then use 6 pound mono for the lure leaders and sinker leader; this way if I get hung up I can quickly break-off, re-tie and get back...

The quality isn't much better but it is bigger.

When we go it's a weekender. Set up camp and fish from Friday afternoon through Saturday night/Sunday morning, pack up camp and leave Sunday after we wake up and eat. We really get serious at night...

Summer Crappie Tactics

Once the Crappie Spawn is over and the “weekend warriors” have left the lake, die-hard Crappie anglers know this is just the beginning of great fishing. Many of the Crappie...

I don't fish Summerville much; but I do hit Granger alot. I have a boat as well and maybe we can get together for some slab nabbin'. I ain't gonna get up at 3 AM but I will fish UNTIL 3 AM! We...

Hey Don, FroggerZ is right, there aren't many of us on here; but there are a few.

I live in Bertram, just West of Georgetown on Hwy 29 and Northwest of Austin by 30 miles or so.

I fish...

I have always used a slip float as well. Sometimes, especially when the whites are running as well, I tie the jig to the back of a topwater (like a tiny torpedo) with as much slack as I think I need,...

As far as I know the stator is just for ignition, not for charging a battery. It works like this:

The stator creates electrical energy from the magnets in the flywheel passing the coils that make...

Kayak Fishing Stuff Forums mostly geared toward kayak fishing (obviously), but there are a LOT of good ideas that will cross over to canoe fishing as well. PLus tons of pictures and DIY stuff.

Keep at it, find it and fix it. Use the money you saved from not buying a new boat on new rods, reels and fishing gear! :)

Same here, I would guess at one time they trolling motors on 'em.

And permanent residence does NOT include fishing camps, cabins or RVs. Having a freezer full at your lake house is illegal if it is over the above stated possession limit.

I have taught Christian Apologetics for years now and thought I would share some of my lighter learnings with the people of Crappie.com; jokes and maybe some interesting tidbits I have learned along...

In Texas possession limit doesn't include what is stored at your 'permanent residence'. However, 'permanent residence' does NOT include your campming trailer when on a fishing trip. The defenition...

Widow Maker Sandwich:
2 fried eggs (broken hard yolk)
one (hamburger-patty-sized) pan sausage patty
8 pieces of bacon (4 on top, 4 on...

I am gonna hit Buchanon tomorrow before the front arrives. I have never fished for crappie there but I am gonna see if I can catch a few. I have caught several while fishing for whites, so we will...

How many people use cast netting or some other method for catching your bait.

If not why not?

"Man, you shouldda been here yesterday...!"

Yea, I get the same thing. Now I tell everyone that as well, wether I did any good or not!

I just semi-rebuilt an 81/2 foot fly rod someone gave me. The back part of the handle was busted off so I cut the back of an old rod that I broke @ Caddo lake and Gorilla glued it in. In front of the...

I just wanted to let everyone know that me and the family are heading to Granger this week to see if we can scare up some crappie. I am only home for 14 days so we are going during the week (less...

The three things I never leave home without are:

My Leatherman multitool, currently carrying the Surge model.

My flashlight, currently carrying the Surefire E2 Outdoorsman with the KL1 (1 Watt...

On a hunting trip out at Granger I lost everything when I flipped my boat. Well, everything that didn't float and my bow. How I managed to grab it on the way over I'll never know.

I lost myself...

Bowhunter here also. I hnt anything that is legal but my passion is for wild hogs. I have hunted them in five states! This one faced off with a Thunderhead, and lost, at Lake Granger, Texas!
