I got online and also talked with Jeff. I'm switching gears from wanting to go fishing to anything else.

Thank you for the update. I was going to drive to Windsor Crossing Friday to see if I can launch Sat.

When I got orders here, I spoke with a few folks who said I was too far south to drag my gear with me. So I sold it all. I created new ice fishermen with it. :)

Personally I was told years ago that these lakes don't freeze enough. As a big guy I wouldn't fish on anything less than 4" and that is pushing it if you don't know the area. Too many variable cause...

I heard 3" as of Sunday. I can't imagine it will hold up between now and Sat, but I have people who are going to check on it for me Friday before I drag my boat 1.5 hours. The things we do to please...

MDC Fishing app shows a lot of places to start.

I'm thinking of heading to Smithville Saturday 02/27. I know everyone and their mom will probably head out. I have a friend in that area that wants to get out. Fishing for both of us is fun, but...

I didn't even read it that way. LoL Now I'm PMSL

I figured I was. I marked 100s of fish. Wind made it difficult to stay on top of them. I'm young to bring a longer rope next time.

The nice thing about this weather. No other boats at the ramp. LoL

You need to build a shack on a dock. Throw some crappie condos down there. Throw you a nice propane heater in there. Problem solved! [emoji16][emoji41][emoji41]

Guys, I love cold weather. I moved here from South Dakota, where I ice fished all winter long. Some days in the shack, but most outside.

I'm 50 if that is your younger days. Dress for success! Had I remembered the Mr. Buddy, I would have been perfectly fine. Bait hooks, hands near the heat. Chill and repeat! [emoji1787]

I had to do it. I was disappointed that I put my boat in the garage. I wanted to get out before the single digits kicked in.

Headed out to search for some slabs on Saturday morning. The water is up even more for the last 2 trips in Jan. I was marking fish like a mad man in the channel. They weren't feisty enough to chase...

Stay away from competitive cycling. LoL It's a serious butt kicking for miles and miles. :)

Bummer for that little guy. Good thing you came along! Kudos to both you and the agent for helping this guy out of his ****ty short rest of hist life. :(

You don't and never will know if you don't try! I'm sure plenty of guys here could point you in the right direction. Some days you win them and others, you just fish and enjoy the outdoors.

Good luck!

Oh yeah, I have side scan. So, now I know where to start. I appreciate your input parratt1

I have a friend in KC that wants to fish there. Any recommendations for launching and searching for Crappie? I hate the idea of dragging my boat that far without knowing the lake.

Heck, I didn't know this info. I guess I shouldn't since I only started boating last Apr. Thank you for sharing tyfoford!

I've been out on the slack water many times over the past year. My best luck was in water 14-18' and sometime on the edge of 20'. The further you get back into the cove in my experiences anything...

Oh they went back in.

Headed out from Drake to a couple of spots to the south. Nothing but bait fish all over. I landed a keeper 2 cast into my first stop. 5 cast later I headed to the slack water. I caught 4 dinks...

I'm in the same boat. I'm currently using 12' Berkley rods and like them, but seems like when I fish with others with 14' rods, we get more bites. I found a set of Ozark rods, but don't know if I...

Nice job guys! I'm thinking about launching out of Warsaw to get out of the wind. I'm not sure it will be worth the trouble.

No worries man, I was out Saturday morning. Froze my tail off for 3 fish! The water was WAY up compared to weeks past.

I've had better luck rigging than single poling. I learned that you need to step outside of your comfort zone when seeking out new areas to fish. "I would have never tried to take my boat back here."
