I was there on Saturday and went to 3 ramps before I could get in. The water is the lowest I've seen it in years. The water temp was 64-66. Caught a few trolling but I think they'll be shallow...

Watts Bar - 62

22 keepers on Watts Bar.

I was at JR's 3/11-3/13, the weather was perfect and we had limits each day. It was the best trip we've ever had to Weiss. I believe the weather had a lot to do with that. The fish we...

Yeah.....the black water line was cheaper than the PVC.

The base is a 5 gallon bucket cut in half and filled with quikcrete.

Awesome!!!!!!

Actually when I put them in the water, the legs "float" and they pointed up. Worked pretty well.

I did one thing I would change on the next ones. The holes in the big pipe are slightly larger than the smaller pipe and the pipe turns pretty easily inside the holes. If they were tight I think I...

10' Piece of 4" PVC (cut in two 5' sections)
100' roll of 1" water line (cut in 16 sections)
40lb bag of QuikCrete
I had the bucket and I cut it in two.

Pretty easy.......probably took about...

Here's my first attempt at building condos. I went to Lowe's and I have about $20 in them each. I hope to get them wet this weekend.

Water Temp: 63.8
Water still up to almost summer pool.
Shad working in every cove we went to.

We caught alot of fish and ended up with 22 keepers. :) Found the fish 8-10' deep around...

Ed,

As a Systems Manager myself I know how difficult it can be to provide a quality website and try to make everyone happy.

As a crappie fisherman I am "hooked" on this awesome site. I...

My scales said 2 1/2 lbs but I don't believe that. I think it was bigger than that.

CP ---- I took your advise and posted a couple of pics on the Brag Board. She sure is awfully proud of this one. :)

I found a local taxidermist that I believe will do a good job. Looked at...

I'm in Williamsburg KY.......about 70 miles north of Knoxville on I-75.
Probably a little too far to Cookeville.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to check around here locally first.

By the way...

My daughter caught a nice crappie yesterday and I thought I would have it mounted for her. I have never had a crappie mounted. Do y'all have any suggestions for choosing a taxidermist? :confused:

Can't remember where I've seen it but I have seen a flat aluminum bracket that the trolling motor pedal mounts on. It attaches to the bottom of the seat pedastal. It looked to be adjustable and...

That's not a crappie. :(


That's a CRAPPAAAAAAAAAAY! :eek:

I've heard alot of good things about the stealth charger. It charges all the batteries from the alternator on your motor and also from a/c. I haven't used one myself but there are alot of guys that...

Took the family to "The Bar" today also. Caught about 15 or so and had only 2 that would keep. No pattern. Caught them from 12 to about 22' with jigs and minnows.

Sure was a pretty day...

I remember many years ago they came out with this unit and seemed to kind of flop and now that company is out of business. I believe that unit was really pushed to the bass...

Thanks crappiepappy.

This is a great site. It's about time we have a place we can share tips and tricks and learn more about this awesome fish.
I would love to join in on the Spring Fling. I...

I'm not sure what they're called but we used a single 1/16 oz jig that was like a fuzz-e-grub. It had rubber-like body and a marabou tail. Since the Weiss trip we have trolled about every...

not neccessarily in that order.

Memories that will last a lifetime.
This is what it's all about. :)

I have been crappie fishing a long time but its amazing how many different techniques are used to catch this tasty fish. I always had the belief that if you didn't have a minnow you couldn't catch...

I have a Paasche airbrush that I've had for several years. I would like to try to paint some baits myself. What kind of paint do you use? and where can I find it?

Great info. That should point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Thinking about slow trolling some crankbaits this spring. I have heard that it works but have never tried it. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what crankbaits and what size to use?
