Thread: Roy, where are you?

I was thinking the same thing! I bet I could get him a $49 flight to Dallas to escape the ice and help me set up my nex helix. Flights are cheap these days!

LOL, you guys are funny!!! I haven't taken too many screenshots lately as the crappie that I'm targeting are mainly suspended 4 to 10 feet deep over deeper water from 20 to 40+ feet. Here are a couple of shots that I took in the last week or so. One is of an area that I like is now overloaded with brush. There are at least 4 groups of brush like this in this area. Too much brush is not good. The other shot I took as.I was coming in, wish that I could have fished it. I'm pretty sure it is a school of some big white crappie moving into this creek mouth. Enlarge the picture and you can see the shape of some of them.

I just started crappie fishing a couple of years ago.

Could you elaborate a little on the brush overload comment.

My thought was "If some is good, more is better".

Thanks

I've seen it too many times, a little brush placed in the right spot is good so more brush in the same spot should even make it better!
Doesn't work that way from what I've seen for big fish. A single piece of brush in the right spot can hold several big fish, a really big or several brush piles close together seems to hold multiple small fish, kinda like a nursery. Most of the time big fish don't want to hang around with the smaller fish, not sure why unless the smaller fish draw more predators. Smaller fish can really hide in the thick brush, larger crappie tend to feed more in open water and need less cover to hide it they feel the need. I've seen too many big fish spots turn into "nurseries" by people adding too much brush to an already good spot. I'm looking to catch the bigger fish!

Thanks for sharing Roy! I have seen that as well!

Grandpa was right.!!

You can learn something new every day if you listen and ask the right questions.

Thanks Roy.


ps... I don't have a beard, but can grow one. Does it help? LOL

Great tips Roy and certainly appreciate it.

Catching a few.


Screwed up and did the 18.10 update on my 8610xsv. Glitch by Garmin that messed with the gain and another control so everything is blurry. I am on list to be notified when they have the update to fix the update (smile). I was so happy it was not my aging eyes that I did not even complain (grin).
