Most fishing up here is off Lake Erie in marinas. Not a lot of crappie lakes per say. There are a few other spots but people up here don't talk to much about crappie. Most everybody chases walleye...

I have a '86 tracker and it has a wood floor.

Sorry then. Guess I need to learn how to read to, you did say caught not kept. Sorry again. Sorry Chaunc. I definitly feel like a assume without the last 3 letters.

I can't imagine keeping 150 fish, then go the next day and catch 100 more, seeing how your son posted on a different web site about those. People like U are why we need statewide limits, not just...

Saturday ended up with 22 black crappie. Caught lot of small fish as well. Biggest was a 13incher pushing 14. Fish stuffed full of eggs. Didn't catch many good fish against the banks. That seems...

No limit on Erie for size or number bagged. Last week was my best week so far. Fish were up against the bank. Water temp was 66 degrees. Caught a bunch casting a jig/twister and slow retrieve. ...

So where I was fishing last Sat the water temp was 66 degrees. Today the temp was 54 degrees. That was a huge drop. Fish are definitly no longer against the bank. Did catch a few in deeper water...

tubes with nibbles via baitpump worked good for me last week. Out fished minnnies. Went over an area with a minnow, no hits. Went right back over with tubes/nibbles caught 3 fish.

I was a little upset. I know some don't have respect for anything. It would be different had he seen me by boats or up on docks or whatever. I was alone nothing but empty docks and crappie.

I...

I like the expanding on it. Just think it should be perhaps statewide. I read about the 9" limit, but there are just some folks who keep way to many small crappie. I think statewide 9" limit and...

Just a fyi for everyone. I just talked with Dnr and Watercraft office. You are absoulutly in your right to fish in marinas out of your boat. They own the land around the water and even the land...

how do you handle the buttheads Russ? I was in a marina yesterday when a guy informed me I couldn't fish in there anymore cause the marina was closed. I put in at a public ramp and motor up into...

Thanks for the update russ. I almost went monday but been wackin and stacking ducks up in MI. Weather is suppose to get a little better next week so I will make it out a few days. I picked up...

A book I have has this discussion about colors. Remember black and white are not colors. The lighter colors need light to hit them to be visible. That's why dark tubes, and even black work good at...

Did you jig for them russ, or use a jig under a cork like the one video?


The marina I've been fishing I've only caught black crappie since labor day. Caught real nice white and black crappies...

That's great. Why not make it totally statewide though. Does this not include lake erie or it's tribs. One marina I fished for years the knuckleheads keep every 8" fish they catch. God only knows...

great tips guys. I have been casting a 1/16oz jig with a twister tail under docks of Lake erie marinas. I let it fall and reel it back in. Some bites come on the fall, some on the retrieve. The...

I have one that was a combo with a 6ft. slab seeker rod. I love the little reel cause how I hold the pole I always have a finger against the line to feel those ever so light taps. I caught some...

Welcome from Rossford OH. Right next door. I've been catching them crappie out of those many marinas along lake erie also. Not retired though. I have been using roadrunners with the thunder...

YIKES! I need to clean mine also. But that acid sounds nasty. I don't want to use anything that can eat a hole in my boat.:eek:

I've just started using RR's, without a bobber. I have done well below a bobber and tipped with a minnow. Just started using them this past week without a float with a thunder tube filled with...

Had the same idea here in northern Ohio yesterday. Hoosier and buckeye crappie sure look alike.

I've had the same results. Did OK tues and weds. with about 10 both days and some nice size fish. Thurs. was like pulling teeth with only 2 fish in box and 2 that came off. Today, Fri. I put in...

june is most likely going to be late. But then again if the weather stays this way it could be good. But most years june would be late for the spring bite.

I like the 1/16 oz roadrunners with the thunder bodies filled with niblets via the baitpump. Sure if fun to cast it and feel that thump. If I slow down just put it under a bobber. Also like tandem...

I live about 15 minutes from janns. So when I decided to start tying that's where I went. Don't know about the powder paint. I do think that gander mtn. acually had the strung marabou cheaper...

I just started tying yesterday. I bought the min. I thought I needed to see if I'd like it first. Well of course I do. But I bought bloodquill marabou feathers. How much of the feather do you...

Check out this site about old outboard lower units. Says no perfectionist when it come to lower unit. Says it's very hard to replace the seals so it doesn't leak any...

I'm going to the smokies from 5/13 thru 5/18 and am wondering if there is any crappie action to be had. I remeber there being a lake between say the bass pro shop and sevierville which is were I...
