Hogg,
Look at the G3 WOF outfitter. It has no decks. You would have to buy seat boxes to mount your seats.

I bought a 1860 from F&F two years ago. Doug is the guy to talk to. He will let you spec it out however you want it. Mine is 18 long, 85 inch beam, 60 inch bottom. Front/rear casting decks, rod...

redearhoosier,
I have fished that area that Kelly catches those fish.He is fishing in the river, I mainly fish the lake above his spots. I have caught shellcrackers that looked almost black with...

Here are some I caught in the lake above where Kelly caught his. Smaller fish, but higher numbers.

Gang,
I think on average, the Savannah River has some of the biggest shellcrackers in the south, next to Santee Cooper. Look at the link (I guess it is ok to post). I fish the lake above this...

Hey gang,
One very valuable website is pondboss.com, go to the left hand menu on main page, click on "ask the boss" it will take you to the forums page, there are plenty of forums to learn about...

I like him too. If you do some research about him, when he was fishing tournaments he was a fierce competitor, He tried to intimidate others, very confident in himself and was very strong mentally...

I would have a permanent smile plastered on my face.:D:D

Disco,
I would be interested in seeing your rig. Sometimes I fish for them on a big reservoir, not sure if it would be pratical to use the waggler since the wind/water can get choppy. I also fish...

worm on bottom, no float, they bite very subtle sometimes, watch your line. Alot of time they swallow the hook. Good luck and enjoy

I agree that there are many different colorations, depending on water, feed, time of year, etc. I have caught them almost black and also caught them with alot of yellowish/greenish tinges with molted...

Chap,
Real nice fish. That fish looks a little "different" than the typical redear. Coloration and body shape is unlike most that I have caught. I wonder if it is a mixed hybrid? Did you catch...

Beautiful shellcracker, did you release it??

Jr.

shiner...pesty little things

It might work, but, it is real hard to beat a worm for shellcrackers. I experimented and tried crickets on beds that were real active, nope, they wanted worms instead. I'm going to buy worms in bulk...

Bluegill,
I think I have that in-fishermen video. I will have to look. I will make you a deal, I'll send it to ya, I'll pay the postage, but, you have to send it to someone else who is interested,...

Nice fish. Too much fun!!!!

Not trying to start anything, but, I think there are alot of variables of when any certain fishery can be hurt by keeping fish. For example, a 4 acre pond can...

Aside that, a less expensive way to go, a pack of culling tags and a good culling beam will keep eyeball culling from hurting you at weigh-in.[/QUOTE]


That's right, about the culling...

Go to Pondboss.com, on the main page, left side, click on "ask the boss" it will take you to the question/answer forum. More info on there than anywhere else on the web. I love that site. Good luck

Nice Perch, wished I could catch some like that.

I took these pics of a location I found on my home lake. What do you guys think?? Might hold shellcrackers if the lake comes up? Right now the lake is about 13 feet low. Those white things are...

He was thick, I wished I had him on my digital camera, but niece took pics on hers, printed a pic then deleted it. Seems like sometimes when skin mounts are done, the taxidermist gets the skin out of...

I weighed this one, he was a true 2 pounds.

Jr.

Elpatron,
I wasn't referring to your post either. You said you weighed yours. I just wished more people weighed their catch. Truth be known, most bluegill that are kept probably weigh 8 or 10...

Although not a true fishing scale, I have weighed alot of bluegill, shellcracker with my pelouze. It is battery powered and very accurate. If more people would weigh their catches, there would be...

Yep, that is a shellcracker. Here are a couple of pics of some that I caught at Clarks Hill. Notice the date on pic....full moon, prime time for bedding fish. Great tasting fish. Second pic shows...
