You re correct, I still have not found anything and was hoping someone might have accidentally run across something and this jog their memory

I know this will probably sound odd to a lot of you hard core Crappie guys, but I like a 6'8"-7' ML rod with XFast action rated for 1/16thoz- 5/16thoz baits for tackling crappie. The places I fish i...

Thanks for all the replies. I for the most part do not think it makes a difference except in certain unique situations, but I have a friend that believes it make all the difference in the world if...

Does it make one iota of difference if you are using hi Viz line verses something that is low Viz? I have always been curious as to peoples opinions. I am beginning to believe it does not make a...

:) I enjoy playing fish and love swamp fishing

You are correct I played the fish well with drag and rod. I was merely stating for the water i was fishing (plenty of wood, lily pads, and grass) I was able to not break off a 20lb Drum, 10-12lb...

I usually opt for 6lb over 4, but Stren, Trilene XL, and Suffix have been my go too lines for decades. I have landed a long of fish I should have broke off on each of them

I always buy the el cheapo Hamilton Beech carving knives at wally world with a sheep's foot blade which i prefer to the pointed blades on the twister. Never sharpened a blade before.

Mayes

on a 20ft nothing less than a 70HP and preferably a 90HP if you plan on trying to ski

I have a 40lb Min Kota tiller that recently I noticed the pro shaft seems to have extended out another 1/4-1/2" further than it did leaving a gap you can clearly see the shaft between the housing and...

SWEET! Here in KY I have only caught a few over the years and only in certain areas. Not really common here

Nice, I have pretty much stopped fishing and getting ready for duck season.

Mayes

I totally forgot all about it. Took my son shooting

I am limited to when i can get out and if I can get a limit I go for it. I would rather clean a limit and portion them out than clean just a few every time.

Son with a decent one

Go Crappie fishing and catch a Buffalo on 6lb
Mayes

I use a M/L Fast or Ultra Fast tip usually 6'*'- 6'10" range with a Shimano Sedona 1000 spooled with 6lb mono. I throw 1 1/6oz tubes mostly, but I catch everything from Crappie-Grinell. I like more...

My go to is a 1/16oz Red flake and Chartreuse. I also like Silver flake and pearl, Blue flake and black, Blue flake and White, and Re flake and white.

I just joined and just saw this also. I might try and make it by with my son. I have not seen Doug since we had a group Diver Hunt down on Barkley many many moons ago. I was lucky enough to get...

I throw mostly 1/16th oz tubes and finding a rod that is 6'9"ish that is rated for less than 1/8oz is hard to find that is not a buggy whip. I fish swamps I duck hunt in and need a rod with great...

I have bought several other rods, but for some reason I like that rod. I know its odd, but to me its a feel thing and other rods do not have the same feel to me.

Mayes

Not sure why anyone would be downed for catching crappie from the bank. The way i look at it is less equipment and hassle involved. I catch most of my Crappie from places I duck hunt and getting a...

I broke my favorite spinning rod for Crappie and am trying to find another. Loomis stopped production of this rod a few years back.

Glad he enjoyed the time in the blind.

After 39 seasons of chasing the ducks, I can say I have spent enough to have retired already.
