    Gabowman (Butch) has been knocking them out but you're right, not a lot of posts otherwise.
    I'm trying to make myself go to Secession but haven't been this year. It's my favorite long line lake.

He would start in the back of the creek and troll toward the mouth of the creek using this bait and would usually catch more than enough to feed his wife and four boys. He used a spin cast reel on a 5 foot rod, a 5 hp. Johnson on a rented wooden boat. About as simple as it gets.
    He was a real pioneer in the world of longlining. It's those people like your Dad that put the thought into today's fishermen. Longlining isn't anything new....just a new name for trolling.

    Has anyone used the precision trolling app’s new data on jigs?

    What would most of you say are the top three or four jig head colors you use with your curly tails, if that (color) is even important trolling jigs?
    Thanks

    Head color doesn’t seem to matter much for me trolling. Minnow/ no minnow seems more important

    I like chart green and yellow, bright orange, pink, and royal blue. I use those different colors as contrasting colors to the curly tail grubs I fish with. I also use unpainted during (and around) the spawn.

    I’ve seen crappie caught but I’ve not gotten good at cold water winter longlining. I’m wondering if some pro can add some expertise.

    Neil, it works but it depends on the lake I think. It seems to me that this past Saturday on Wylie the guys where I was fishing seemed to be trolling very slowly trying to get the jigs down to to 25 feet or so. That is where we were catching crappies tight lining. I never saw anything pulled over the side but they were there practicing for next weekend. On the idea of lakes matter, I think it depends on fish population. High rock has a tremendous amount of crappies compared to Wylie. So from the reports and what I've seen there is more are caught on HR than Wylie at any given time. I don't long line as I use to but Wylie does not have that population that it had 30 years ago. Since perch were added as a another species to fish for. Perch almost destroyed in my opinion the crappie population we had. Bass fellows are starting to see a decrease in there numbers and size. Two floods in recent years didn't help either.
