We did use lights to watch rods. I was using my 18's. The bite was fast and hard, few soft bites for a change. Fish were down 4' to 18'.

After a lot of discussions with buddy's we finally tried spider rigging with the long poles last night at a lake that has been a difficult place for numbers the last few years. Without going in to...

I just ordered a couple Denali's in 18' as we sometimes need heavier weights here. We currently run up to 6, 16' Southern Crappie rods and really like them a lot but with 2 oz weights its often an...

I look at a lot of them and made a few but this one of one of our trips is my favorite, sadly the lake dried up and virtually all fish died. It has happened before and the lake bounces back in a big...

I make my own from pool noodles and have two green (for tree marking) and two orange (for suspended open water fish) and two in red without any weight on them at all slid over a holder attached to my...

Caught 81 today, missed at least 20 and left the lake with 74 keepers. Their BAAAACK! We were drop shotting minnows in 20 to 25 feet of water and burned through 10 doz minnows leaving them biting...

I solved the same problem many years ago and use whatever bobber I want. Find any hook that has a large eye, slightly angled to its shank. I use a S saltwater 1/0 hook. Clip off the eye and about...

I share the frustration guys. Also noticed they opened the gates back up at San Carlos so that lake will be falling fast again. We have a ton of fish located at Bartlett but since they started...

The dam is actually in pretty good shape, the masonry flaking off the face is just the gunnite that was used to help protect it many years ago when they also did the cliffs above the spillways. ...

Normally all of our lakes should be starting to come around but this year the only lake that is posting numbers is one that is about to dry up again. When full San Carlos is the largest lake in the...

Where we are placing the underwater lights while trolling. Still working it all out but having some exiting results. Wish the water would cool off soon so our minnows would stop dying within the...

Also trying different ways to watch what's going on underwater from a fish's perspective and it can be pretty telling. It's starting to cool off here enough to fish again at least.

Crappie...

Been rough going for a while what with the extreme heat and all but we just figured out the bite. Looking forward to the lower water levels and cooler temps the fall will bring this year.

Here in Arizona we have no limits of any type put on crappie. Catch and keep all you want of any size year round. They grow so fast a limit would be silly.

NICE! Ours look different, are they Black or White Crappie?

We also release fewer than 4 fish at the end of the day so into the live well they all go. We both use modified bass boats for our rigs so nicely insulated live wells also double as ice chests when...

Tha'ts an average fish here and we have NO limits except on reservation lakes where the crappie limit is 25 per person and easy to fill during the spawn.

3 fish over 17 inches yesterday. 27 total for us total with most at 2 pounds.

I have an Eagle Fish Mark 320 up front connected to my Minnkota I-Pilot in order to know exactly when the front of the boat is over the tree I wish to fish. I also have a 797 SI on the boat with its...

Most of the large ones are right at 2 lb's.

It was a good 4 hours today. I love our average fish size, it will be a great season!

It worked in the stowed position just fine today, to bad the fish did not want to bite very well. Only caught two at 2 pounds each but saw many hundreds on the SI. My motor comes off in a few...

Want to record a long path tomorrow using the gas motor then run it on the I-Pilot. If the troller is stowed but plugged in and communicating with the remote will it record ok? Also has anyone...

No gps in the rental but pretty good at directions and finding addresses. How long do you think the drive is so I plan my departure from here correctly?

Sounds good, I'm an early riser and the cell phone is on all the time. My class will finish up tomorrow by noon but I can also take short calls during if needed.

I'd like to take you up on the offer. PM me your number or call me at 602-714-4996 to make final plans please. All day Sat is open for me and I sure don't mind the drive over as long as you can...

I don't mind driving a ways, where are you located?

I'm here from Arizona for a few weeks of training and thought it would be cool to hook up for some local slab hunting this coming weekend. I'm happy to pay for fuel, food and bait, will need to...

When designing our lights we did a ton of experiments with blue's of different wavelengths since blue travels farthest in water next to UV. In one test we had all colors together and could flip from...

Sorry I have not been watching this topic guys. What emails and where were they sent please? I generally get all emails to the web site and answer them within hours unless out of town in the Mtn's...
