Crappie Angler you have a PM.
We limited out again today on an evening trip. everything was going great tell we got back to the boat ramp to find my truck had been broken into along with many...

Good luck, If they were already in good before the front It should not take long to get them going. One of these days I am going to come up and try Eufaula, It sure is a good looking lake I have past...

Any time you bleed a fish of any kind it whitens the meat, Some fish need to be bleed to help on the flavor, however crappie is not one of them, at least not according to my taste buds.LOL .

Skip you sent one on the first group of jigs, but a crappie liked it so well it decided to take it home and show it to all its friends.LOL
Hey CrappieAngle come on over I am only 4 hrs away.

We had a very good day today at Ray Roberts. Todays trip was set up as a learning trip so we spent the better part of the day learning new areas and learning new techniques on catching crappie. After...

I use both, I have used plastic a lot longer than the hand tied jigs however I have been real pleased with the production I have had with some of skips jigs from Thump It Jigs. You can get more flash...

I got mine at Academy, they look good.

I use 1/16oz mostly but I do use 1/8oz in deeper water.

The crappie should be staging out in 10' or so if the water temp is in the low to mid 50's, Once the water gets to around 60 they should start moving in. You will find that in the early part of the...

Good trip today on Lake Ray Roberts, I took out a friend on a evening trip we fished for about 4 1/2 hours and ended up with 32 keepers. It was funny 25 of the keepers came out of a honey hole 4'...

I use the Renegade weedless jig heads all the time from Walmart for my plastic tube and solid body jigs. What I like about it is they have 2 prongs instead of one to hold the squirts up. Most of the...

I've been crappie fishing for 40 plus years and I had never seen one come out of the water before. Just goes to show that when you think you have seen most everything, You see something new. Thats...

On my Fridays trip we were fishing shallow in about 1 to 2 ft. of water working some thick root systems strait lining jigs, As I was lifting my jig up out the water a crappie came out of the water...

I use mainly spinning reels, I set mine so that you can pull it out easy but not so light that you can't reel without the trag singing, The crappie have soft enough mouths that it does not take much...

They were on a spawning pattern most came out of 1 to 2 foot of water using jigs.

I did not go out today. but we did pretty good the last 2 evenings.

Makes me want to go deer hunting not fishing.LOL

I am with Buckhorn on the Power Pro Hi Vis yellow, The more I use it the better I like it. I would suggest giving it a try it impressed me.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to you and your family for your loss.

I took a trip out Friday the front had already dropped the water temp nearly 10 degrees but to my surprise the crappie were still in shallow water but note that the water temp was still 60 degrees...

Just adjust the knot on the eye.

Welcome Coony I am fairly new to this forum myself. Looks like to me a good place with good folks.

I like the Wally Marshall rods myself. but a good rod with great senitivity and balance is the Berkley Cheerywood rods in 7' lenths, only $19.95 at Walmart here in Tx.

Yes I would treat it or better yet paint it. Just because it is treated does not mean it won't rot it will just last longer before rotting.

They started here a couple of weeks ago but still have not come in good yet. They are running late here in north Texas aswell. Mighty one of the best ways to find good spawning areas is to fish the...

I had a no show today, so I went out hitting some new areas. I ended up catching around 22 this evening on your #16 jig. I have a group of 6 in the morning, its going to be a long day LOL.

Man you did get fixed up. Happy Birthday Skip.

The only time that I can see that the sunny or partly sunny days would be better is in the early spring as your water temp is 59 or 60 and a sunny warm day will bring the temp up to 67 plus, this...
