Great pics. As much as I like crappie, a flathead is a magical fish.

I understand what your saying, but I know they DO have someone who loves them and will take care of them. You're a good man. My son is 21 and I still consider him to be a blessing.

We are going to have to turn off the internet to conserve money. My wife is having to quit work for health reasons and money wll be tight. I will miss you and have learned a lot from all of you....

I never did post a lot, but enjoyed reading everything in this site. But soon we will have to turn the internet off. My wife has had to quit work for health reasons and my little check will be...

I am not trying to offend anyone, but I think the worst words uttered are democrat and republican. When asked what I am my answer is, American and proud of it. And God is never omited when I recite...

I can't a response either. Guess my need for a suction cup for my portable AIN'T important to them.

I keep my trailer locked at all times. Even when unhooked it is locked in the down position so it cannot be placed on a ball. Around here the meth-heads will steal anything. grizzly

I knew the gate going in to my favorite crappie spot has been locked since last Friday. I was just hoping the land owner was trying to keep people from tearing the road up when it is wet. But not so....

The females we caught sunday and monday are not ready yet. They had lots of eggs, but they were still pretty small and not developed completely.

If what you are trying doesn't work, fence the pond and run hogs in there for a year or two. They will roll and wallow and pack everything tight. Don't laugh, it works. grizzly

Here in central Arkansas my wife and I caught several 1&1/2 lb females over the weekend and thier eggs are still tiny. Here they are still a while from spawning. I am fishing a slow moving bayou...

Hey Chevy, I asked the same question last year with no results. With the river staying up as long as it did the fishing should be good if you can find the fish. Good luck to ya. grizzly

Guys I'm just little southeast of Searcy and as of 10am we've got 7 inches. I think the fishing should be good when the water goes down-- just might be a while. If you do venture out, be carefull....

Great looking lake and great looking fish. Congrats to both of you. Darn, those black crappie sure are pretty. grizzly

I still use cane/bamboo 75% of the time. They are all I use when trolling, and allways with a float to control depth. Where I crappie fish the average depth is around 6 ft. with some holes maybe 10...

I release the small crappie, but the small gills I usually keep in a trough at the house to use as flathead catfish bait. grizzly

I had an uncle who passed away last spring who used cotton seed hulls and cotton seed meal together. He would take milk jugs, fill them with the hulls then pack in all the meal he could, punch holes...

Also wanted to say, welcome aboard LazyJ. Looking foreward to your input on the board. grizzly

LazyJ, I'm on the bayou but about 10 miles upstream of the highway. But yes this is still a magical place too, where else could I make so many trips and not have seen another boat on the water....

Very nice. grizzly

Went yesterday and stuck out some bamboo poles around some big cypress trees and brush were there is nothing to tie yo-yos to. While I was doing this the crappie were flipping all over. So I tried...

Yes, I'm going this morning and stick out some bamboo poles around some brush so I will be ready. Will probably try to yo-yo later in the week after the rain. Oh yeah, I'll be on Des Arc Bayou....

Congrats MRSWVSPEC, those are some pretty birds. A bird gobbling at first light is an awesome sound. grizzly

Crappie are not the only fish I go after. I probably split 95% of my time fishing between crappie and flathead catfish. I enjoy the easy laid back crappie fishing, I don't take anything to serious...

Good catch anyway. I think I know what's wrong, NO BEER CAN, the fish were sober today.lol grizzly

I have the exact setup you are talking about on my 14 foot jon boat. I have the lights turned slightly outward maybe 5 degrees and you can see great. Mine are mounted low on the front so you can see...

My goto jig is a minnow. I'm so ashamed. grizzly

Hey, I still use bamboo, have it growing 50 yards from my house. It's free, light weight and strong. I've landed many big gar and grinnel without breaking one. I've cut them as long as 36 feet with...

First off, I think it would be tacky to even ask. Second, I agree, that is how they make a living and feed their families and I wouldn't feel right asking. Next, I agree with NIMROD, take someone...

Yes Slipcork, I still fish out of an aluminum flatbottom. I remember in 1972 when my dad bought this boat I thought it was big. But as I've gotten older and fatter a 14/36 is tiny now. But since most...
