Went yesterday (12/18/04). Put in a Baker Creek State Park and fished suspended minnows over brush piles. Came home with 17 crappie and 2 yellow perch. Biggest crappie was just over 2 lbs. They were staying pretty deep, 19 to 24 feet deep in about 30 foot water.
The wife is mad because I got 15 and she only got 2. We were using five poles, two with regular 10 lb mono (hers) and three with Bass ProShop 6lb crappie fishing line (mine). Even though all the poles were set up exactly the same way, all the fish were caught on the ones with the crappie line. Needless to say, she gave up on her poles and started using one of mine. Now she wants the same line on hers before we go again. That stuff really works.

Glad to hear your catching fish.What model is your Procraft?I'm fishing with a rebuilt '86 1780.I took out the two stationary seats in mine and moved the two storage bases up in there place so I can move the seats up to the fishing bases for room when we anchor up and fish[I use the bass fishing seats with short poles for a driver seat]

Procraft - What is the brand name of the Bass Pro crappie line you are using? I can't find my Bass Pro catalog - it must have been thrown out with some of my old fishing magazines. I have seen a line called Mr. Crappie or something like that in our local farm supply store. Is that the line you are talking about? I would appreciate any help you can give me.

I will not be able to fish for a little while ,but have planned on a striper/crappie trip this spring or a little earlier. Glad to hear there are some good crappie there.

Yes, the name brand is Mr. Crappie. It also has a Bass Pro Shop logo on it.

Hey cspen,
My Procraft is a 1989 1780v. I just got it early November. I really wanted something newer, but for the price and condition it was in I couldn't pass it up.
