Thread: Starting the new year out right who is with me?

Tomorrow is 2017 and I am starting it out by going crappie fishing in the morning. Who else is starting out this way. I'm headed out to bob's fishing hole on NWR.

Good luck on your trip. It's a good way to start the new year.

Thank you for the luck wish Mr. Bill. I hope you have a great new year.

Wish I could but family is coming for lunch.

How was your trip on Northwest today hookedonpanfish

Constant rain over here today. Maybe tomorrow though.

@crappiejunkie67 it was a horrible day I got skunked and it is my second time there that it happened. So I don't think I will ever venture back to that spot again. Let alone enter the tournaments. I am high discouraged at that place for fishing.

Was the water still low?
I have never been skunked there so that is interesting.

No need to get discouraged! That river is full of fish! You just need to move down the river! We have caught over 300 fish in there on the last 3 trips! They're there so dont give up!

Fished Buggs out of Longwood on Grassy Creek. Had another great day catching over 100 crappie with my clients keeping bout 3 dozen 10-12 inchers. Vertical jigging with a 5-10 second pause using BGBS on 3/32 oz jigs. Shades of chartreuse worked best for us. Brush in 20-30 fow that topped out 5-15 from the surface. Very nice day on the water with some fine fishermen!
