A common, round sharpening steel works... but only sharpen the outside of each half or have the 2 blades in the machine (unplugged) and sharpen like any kitchen knife, My knife says Rapala on it and...

I was born and raised in AR and have a lot of good memories of days fishing I just moved back the Fayetteville area from MO and am surprised I don't see much about the local lakes. Doesn't anybody...

I'm sorry but I don't understand these rules. 99.9% of the time I fish by myself. I can only use one ot two rods but there is 8 or 10 rods in the rod box. How does putting my name on my rods help...

Ah... OK, thanks. Just out of curiosity, what is a "Fitz?"

BTW, I am only suggesting that guys could be a lot more helpful with just a little more info. For example "I caught a nice limit on...

So you limited out on LOZ... That is great and you did good. The only problem is LOZ is a very large lake and your information may be great where you were but I'm fishing 30 miles away in a...

Thanks again! I got a ticket many, many, years ago on Horseshoe. I had a 10' aluminum jon boat and would pull the battery out of my pick up to run the Shakesphere 606 trolling motor. I got the...

Thank's for all the useful information.... er, ah, can you tell me where on the DNR website that talks about battery boxes or the number of rods I can have? Somehow I must have missed that page.

Back in the 1980 - 1995 period I lived in Cape Girardeau and I fished So. IL heavily, Rend, Kinkaid, Egypt, Cedar, Devil's Kitchen, and yes, even Horseshoe and the Ohio out of Golconda.

I am going...

Just a thought... ain't much spawning going on in 48 degree water.

I know this is a crappie forum but this is a super neat video out of Alabama

OOOPS! Now the link quit... If you can get it to come up it is of a guy catching a 16 lb. bass. It was done by WDEZ...

YEP!!! That's it... Thanks!

I would go with Garmin... I bought a Helix with GPS and DI. I am on my third transducer mount and second transducer. Zero help from Hummingbird. They said I must have run over a stump. I was...

I had one back "then." It had a cable that you could lower and find the temp at any depth. It actually worked... nowadays you can see the thermocline on your depth finder and nobody cares what the...

Truthfully, there are no rules because it all depends... location, depth, density, etc. I talked to a guy that had a heated fishing dock on LOZ. In Feb, I purchased minnows and took two disabled...

Many years ago I was fishing a long underwater point. A skier came by and fell close enough we could talk without shouting. I asked him, "Why don't you ski out there in the middle? The water there...

I was anchored on a spot on LOZ, using my GPS controlled Ulterra. I had been there for an hour casting a single rod and had caught 3 crappie and four white bass. Here comes this boat... I think it...

Coffman down to Indian Creek. 47F. IIRC.

Got there around 7:00 AM hoping to catch some crappies.

No luck so I tried trowing an old Shadrap thinking a white bass might hit it. No luck there either... danged ol' "green...

What is amazing about this conversation is that everybody seems to think that anybody that fishes catches a limit every time out. The real truth is that on any given day 1% of the anglers will catch...

It is a LOT better now. Back in the old days, I remember fishing a 3 day, national championship bass tournament in Missouri. There were contestants from California, Florida, Illinois, Texas,...

I have not been able to put my boat in the water for months due to family issues but I finally got out today. I wanted to get on the water to see if there were issues with boat, motor, batteries,...

Old thread, but hit a nerve with me... My best fishing bro was on Perry Co. Community Lake one day. He was in his big boat but only using his electric motor when he heard a commotion, looked up and...

Thank you for letting us know you did well at Brown's Bend.

That of course is Brown's Bend on Lake Michigan, or is it Lake Girardeau, or Stockton, or Lake Norfolk, or Smithville, or, Truman, or...

This is the thing that irritates me to no end... You fished Brown's Bend... and that is on lake Eufaula Alabama, or is it Toledo bend, or is it on lake Girardeau, or Table Rock or maybe Lake...

Met my old fishing bud Jim Strong, at Clearwater on the 14th. At one time we pretty much owned Clearwater and had some of the best outings ever on that lake. The last time we were there was 20+...

OK... so that was on lake Millwood in Arkansas or maybe it was on Lake Sardis in Mississippi or perhaps on Lake Shelbyville in Illinois... Maybe it was on a lake in California... So why did you post...

I appreciate it.

Depth and speed is definitely the key, but I am not at all sure that lead core is the answer. I have found that the only way to know how deep your lures are going takes a LOT of time on the water. ...

Have you ever trolled a flat to the point it started to fall off into deep water? Yep been there done that. Normally I would make a big 180 and troll the flat again (if I were catching any thing.) ...
