I was at church last night and was talking with a fishing buddy, and he tells me that the town of Badin (?) is turning the Alcoa landing boat ramp into a park. Essentially the ramp will still be...

They are pretty cool. I caught one on back to back trips @ Badin this spring. Caught another last year in the same spot, but those 3 are the only ones in the past 15 years of crappie fishing. ...

Easy answer is stainless. It's more durable and holds heat better.

He acts like he’s working hard.

Here’s one more from last year as a photo test.

Thanks.

I'll try the app. It's even more confusing when I go awhile with no problems then it starts turning them again.

Caught another one yesterday.

and I have no idea why when I post a pic from my phone here it turns it sideways. Drives me nuts.

How common are they? How often do you catch them?

We caught another one yesterday. That makes 2 in 2 years, but those are the only ones I've ever caught. Just wondering how regularly...

That's it right there. And how many times have you figured them out because you kept at it and changed presentations, baits, location, etc.? A fisherman's confidence in his abilities will allow him...

I'm not a guide, but I don't see how this is an issue one way or another. Covid is everywhere. No one can make a legitimate claim that any one exposure was the source of it. Any gas pump,...

I've got a 13'er. They are pretty stable, and track very well through the water pushed by a relatively small motor, or even just a trolling motor.

None of them are rated for anything near a 75...

Surprised MS is only 4-4. I thought they were ground zero for big crappie. And surprised FL is only 3-13, but GA is 5 lb.


A lot of northern and western states with surprisingly big fish. I...

Nice work. I’m the one with the boys that talked with you at the dock on the way in on Friday afternoon.

It certainly seems like the fish are getting right. We did better Friday than we had...

We caught this one yesterday afternoon. Older brother reeled it in, and younger brother was the net man.




And of course, middle brother had to get in on the fun too.

Sounds like a great trip. It's a rare day you get size and numbers like that.

Wow..........

What you just described is a fiberglass bay boat. I have a Sea Hunt BX22BR that is 1 year old this week. It's about as perfect as you're going to get for what you described. I longline and...

We went Wednesday afternoon as well. Fished for a little over 3 hours with the kids. Tightlining minnows on jig heads 20-26' deep. We got a dozen good bites, but we were struggling to hang them. 4...

Mine is a bigger, heavier fiberglass boat, and it takes thrust from the motor to pull it off the trailer. I also have tall guide-ons on the trailer. I don't think the rope is a good tool for my...

I use Power Pro yellow 10/2 or 5/1 for casting jigs around docks and brush. Usually I tie directly, but I will use a fluoro leader if the water is really clear. It stays stained much of the year...

In the past year or two, I have come to the knowledge that many of the ads are based off of prior searches from that same IP address. Others may be based on your location and what others in your...

I wish I had a "ramp cam" I could access remotely. I'd like to get out in the next couple of days, but I'd hate to get up there and it be solid mud.

I drove by Saturday and it looked fair - like...

Wow. Thankful the Yadkin chain never gets like that. We have to deal with the mud constantly but not water over the docks. There would be a lot of houses under water at that level.

Presidents are my go-to for casting rods, but too expensive to rig a bunch of long poles with them. BPS has a black one called Megacast @$30 that is very smooth for the price. But my long rods have...

Merino wool. There is nothing better.

Warm, comfortable, low odor, highly wicking. 170-200 gram is lightweight for active sports, 230-260 gram is midweight better for sitting, then there is...

That is a sharp looking boat. Is that for when the crappie are REALLY shallow? :)

My fishing buddy needs a good fishing hat.

My only complaint is losing them. If you are one to lose jigs frequently, at over $2 ea., they are an expensive jig head. I know Ed uses his tightlining and longlining, always with a minnow.

I...

Ed is about 10 minutes from me. I was in his shop last week picking up a couple more rods. I started using spinnie's last winter with success.

Color can depend a lot on the body of water you...
