I have fished it for several years and caught some very good Crappie. Not much accommodations in the area.

I have fished everywhere within 100 miles of there. Very good Crappie fishing for the last 40 + years. I also have a nice house for rent in Trussville.

Sea Foam is the best fuel additive I have ever used. Been using it for many years. Friend of mine had the rear of his boat sink overnight on the Alabama River. Next day, we hauled his boat to the...

I haven't been on the forum for quite some time. My best fishing buddy passed away a couple of years ago and it hasn't been the same. He was an old WWII Marine that had some tales to tell. He...

I am a devout Crappie fisherman but also love to catch Bream. Got spoiled when I was allowed to fish in a private lake in Aberdeen, Mississippi. My Dad and I caught some huge Bream from this lake. ...

That will take a cork down

Cabelas has the perfect bobber stops. They come in quantity of 40 in whatever line class you want. They hold snug to the line and won't slip unless you put pressure on them. They are more precise...

After 45+ years of Crappie fishing, I have nearly as many uhoh's as Bill Dance. Certainly I have launched the boat without the plug, but once I launched it and didn't have a plug. I got the boat...

I've caught a lot of them in backwater sloughs. I can remember my great grandfather caught one that reached all the way around a #3 washtub. This was in the early 1950's.

I have been running Optima SC34DM Blue Tops with my 24v Motorguide Brute since 5-19-2007, which is labeled on the batteries when I got them (easier to keep up with their age). I can run for three...

Here is the minnow bucket I use, it is a six gallon bucket lined with insulation. I use the Super Bubbles areator which is quite and economical. We often spend three days with the areator running...

I have two Optima batteries in my boat that were purchased in 2007 and are still running strong and recharge quickly. One item you might like is the ProXtra II. It is a charge-on-the -run device...

everything I have caught at Weiss is 9". Are Gill Nets the problem?

Is there still a limit on Crappie?

Maddog: I hope this is not too late. Joel Stone in Leeds is the best taxidermist I have ever seen. He did my 3 lb Crppie and it is just like it was striking something.

Try Don Larson 483-6518 Cordova. He is a good mechanic and does boat repairs.

Here is one way to do...

Thanks Agruss. The best time to go is when you can. This just happens to be when I can.

The reason to tie your hook level is it is assumed that the jig resembles a minnow and they swim mostly level. They look odd if they are slanted. Just a thought.

We are going to Elk River Thursday through Saturday. Any tips anyone can give would be appreciated. We will be staying at Group Lodge.

I have been an insurance adjuster for 43 years. No insurance policy covers mechanical breakdown unless it is due to an exterior source, such as the infamous ice bag getting over the water intake. ...

Good luck getting one of the cabins. They are booked a year in advance.

I have utilized 4'X8' pegboard from floor to about one foot from the ceiling in in my garage to hang all my tools and a good bit of fishing stuff and boating stuff. You can find it better that way. ...

I have two, one for me one for my fishing buddy. They are worth their weight in gold. Keeps your face from getting frostbite and doesn't fog up.

Hey Ship. I enjoyed your article in the latest edition of Crappie World Magazine. Very well done. I am from Trussville, fish a lot of the same waters you do. I am in a Grey and Blue Venture boat...

Thanks for the info. I have Crappie fished for over 40 years but never on Wheeler. Look forward to it.
