We stayed at the Shawnee Bay resort the end of March. Wind, rain, lightning. You name it, we had it. Wind chills down to 29 degrees.

We were watching the weather prior to the trip and my response...

Hey Yankee,

The first day, we had southwest winds and we had no trouble getting out.

When the winds came from the north and east, we were grounded within the Bee Creek bay.

We did stay out...

Just got back from 4 days on Kentucky Lake.

Water is very high, dropping and rising. Cold fronts galore. Rain. Lightning. High winds. One low sittin' boat got half sunk at the dock overnight....

The jig heads I picked up at Cabela's. I also dip a toothpick into a crazy glue bottle and apply where the tube meets the jig head. I also take a little iso-alcohol and wipe the oil off the tip of...

Hey crappie24...

I'll be leaving for the Shawnee Bay Resort early tomorrow A.M.

I expect the water to be high and muddy. Blaze orange-black-chartruse is what I'm starting with, but red-chart or...

I dip a toothpick in the glue bottle and use it as an applicator. It's really a small amount. There is no smell. At least not until I put a sparkle chartruse powerbait crappie nibble on it. Then it...

Hope to give you one of these next week. They're hangin' up to dry. I always put a drop or two of crazy glue where the tube meets the jig head. Keeps 'em from falling down:

I like to use Shore Lunch breading mix. Not sure if you've heard of it, but has just the right seasonings in it.

I use the electric filet knife as well. My daughter cleaned up her first fish using...

Good job Whiskers! Bet you're glad to be off the big boat and in the smaller one. LOL.

Hi Ernest!

Thank you for the DVD. I sent you a check in the mail.

I was going to attatch this thank you to your original post, but after 182 replies and 14,000+ views on that post, I didn't...

Thanks much!

I'll be with the wife and kids on Jonathan Creek later this week, Wednesday-Saturday.

Any help would be appreciated. I've never fished Jonathan Creek before.

Thanks!

How deep were the minnows if you don't mind my inquisition?

Thanks Skip!

You said you fished water 7 to 10 feet deep.

Can I ask how deep you had the jigs?

Thanks.

Because the sun sits in the southern hemisphere, the northeast corner of the lake will be warmer. Fish slow.

I'll agree with the accuracy thing.

Set an empty coffee can out there and see if you can put it in the can from 20'. If you can't put it inside the can, see if you can get directly beyond it so...

If I may ask, what were you using? Minnows? Jigs? Color? Thanks.

Ya got a keeper there!

Nice crappie too. LOL.

Do you haveany preference regarding the round vs. re-useable split-shot?

Thanks!

What color do you prefer? Thanks!

Got my jigs. Very nice work! Can't wait to soak 'em.

Thank you!

What size hooks as well? Thanks.

Can I ask how you rig up your minnows?

i.e. double minnow crappie rigs, single hook under a split shot, lip hooked or hooked under the dorsal fin etc.

Thanks!

Hey RFD2630, welcome!

One little deal I like to do is set up a bunch of tube jigs at home. After you put the tube on the jig, put a drop of crazy glue where the jig head meets the tube. It stops...

Welcome from the Windy City Seth!

Just got here myself. Great people here. Very helpful.

That 3rd one down looks familiar. LOL. Could be a killer.

I've been fishing the Chicago area all my life. I'm used to fishing shoulder to shoulder in a crowd.

What that guy did was nuts. It's not acceptable to put others in harms way. This isn't Nascar....
