I just about caught a muskie when I was last down there 2 years ago and they've probably doubled in size since then. It was only probably 30" long but it was really FAT! Of course I hooked it right...

Not very good. The cold front that came in didn't help at all and neither did the wind. We went down on Sunday.

Ended up with 3 crappies, 1 decent 10" one and the other 2 were only about 6". ...

Well we're leaving for Brushy at 6 so hopefully we'll get into something! If it's crappy maybe we'll pull anchor and head up to morse. I'd be up for some big perch! :D

Hey ed420 have you been back to brushy yet? Curious if you were still catching anything.

We're heading over there tomorrow I think, going to bring bait for crappies and some walleyes and see what...

I found some at Mills Fleet Farm in Mason City last weekend. They're not actual "roadrunners" but basically the same thing.

I live north of W-loo. I'm going to be heading to Brushy one of these next couple weeks. I'm waiting for the water to warm up a little first though. I caught some good crappies there 2 years ago. ...

You're not too far from me. :D I live in Clarksville.

I've caught a lot of crappies in George wyth never anything that big though. Which lake were you on and what were you using?

That must be the tourney my friend was telling me about. Thanks for the info on the fishies. I'll have to try the res. I would love to get into some slabs! :D

I do have a quesition maybe someone...

I tried the shrimp thing on Friday. Didn't work for me. I tried that and wax worms. Ended up catching 2doz. bluegills all on the wax worms nothing on the shrimp. Also caught 3 crappies all on...

My friend really swears by Mcbride.

How come coralville is better? Bigger fish? More???

I've never fished around there so any help would be great.

I've always heard pretty good things about that lake and have always wanted to fish it. My one friend said they have a crappie tourney there every spring. Anyone have any info on that? Might have...

I've only been there once and that was when we caught that nice stringer. The first day we caught a few nice walleyes and some FAT bluegills then the next day a few more walleyes and then the...

Well we ended up at Beeds Lake not Pine. Ended up keeping 2 doz. blue gills threw back probably a dozen smaller ones. Also caught 2 decent crappies and one smaller one. It ended up being a lot...

These were all caught at Brushy! Best crappies I've ever caught!!! There are some HUGE ones in there if you can find them in all that structure.

I'm actually north of waterloo about 20 miles. Theres a couple lakes up here I would love to put some in. Looks like it will have to be a covert mission though! ;)

One of these days I would love...

As long as you don't get caught I suppose! ;)

Any iowans know?

Yep that's the one. Not sure if it will be any good yet. Have to wait and see I guess. I'm just ready to get the pole in the water! :D

Heading out for the first time this year! I think we're going to be going to pine lake and give that a try. Supposed to be catching some bluegills and crappies there. I guess we'll see. Hopefully...

Milk Jug maybe? That's what it looks like anyway.

I just recently found this website and love it! Awesome information here.

Never really thought about building structure to put in the lakes. Especially out of pvc and stuff. GOOD IDEAS!!!
...

I have some relation in Albia maybe I'll have to visit and head to Rathbun! I've tried some lakes up here have always been able to catch some but now I'm after the BIG ONES! :D

I've used jig...

Just found out about this site. I'm just starting to get back into fishing real hard. The kids are finally getting old enough where I can. I really want to get into some serious crappies this...
