Thread: Trimmed Midsouth STRIKES AGIAN!!!/Conway 12-10-14

Thanks CrappiePro enjoy your post and Pic's and cannot even fish the same water like you,Macdaddy,nimrod!! And Creekslick is my Hero!! And Great mentor on this site!! Creekslick and Jim Canada has taught me a lot about crappie fishing and life!! It sis an Honor to have great Crappie Freinds like you and crappie.com!! I Make and tye jigs not a Pro!! But willing to help anyone anyway I can!! The last thing I want on this site is to sell a bait but help a freind as I have been helped!!( Do unto others as they have done unto you!!!!)

With all respect bill there are a lot of pro staffers on the site that don't try promote products as much as a few folks do. There is a difference. Some pro staffers won't say they ever use anything else and that's a line of BS. It takes advantage of new folks on the site that don't know any better. when This person first joined the site this person fell for it lol.

You are correct that what is the best is what the fish want that day!!

This person knows you do fish a wide variety of lures, baits, plastics, etc.

If someone is getting offended then maybe they should stop and look to see why they are getting offended. Does the shoe fit ?

Hope I didn't use too many lol.

Not sure if this question was directed at me, but I don't get offended by anyone promoting their products, if I did, I would stop watching TV. I stated my position in my post above.

You did good on the 's.

Dang, "I" used too many 's. Lol

Its not only about the product but how and where it is used to be effictive at catching fish or Crappie!! Two fishermen in the same boat using the same product!! Fishing the same brush pile.The one in the back catching ten fish to your one!! The little tiny difference the fishermen in the back had made all the difference in catching and not catching!!! Thanks CrappiePro!!!

Man, the Ar. board has turned into one giant pizzing match. Cant say anything without offending somebody. Cant post reports without somebody wanting to ride along on your next trip, just so they can drain you of info, then talk about you to their next victim. What a joke.

All I see is two members stating their opinions...not a pizzing match. Bet they shake hands later. Sorry you feel this way but I will say is this: If you feel you can't say anything without offending somebody, try thinking about the words you use more closely. Yep there are some who always seem to be in, or causing. a pissing match and we know who they are. No Joke.

These days it seems they are far and few between. Now day's seems like reports go something like this...Caught these on this...so go buy this and all your problems will be solved. An Ole Timer once told me If your a good fisherman your gonna get yours, no matter how much information you share.
If you are posting a product least give the customer a lake, depth, and tactic used. One of my biggest turn off's on here for me is someone trying to sell something with some pictures and a smile. It just don't work. Id much rather buy from a Pro staffer or company who gives me a little Info on how and where they used their product. Not saying give GPS Coordinates but for goodness sakes at least give a lake and tactic used and I promise you will sell allot more of your product.

Remember Guys we don't live for ever and yes you can take your knowledge to the grave...but in the end... ask yourself? What did you truly give to the sport... that our sons and daughters and their children may enjoy down the road. My guess is not much.

Lake Conway 12-10-14, the pool, Midsouth trimmed tube #802, 1/16oz head (See Pic) fishing 7-10 feet deep over brush. You really haft to pin point those brush piles with a bouy and hover over them. Fish are scattered 1-5 fish per pile...don't spend too much time on any one pile you need to fish as many piles as possible, as fish are not grouped up and to speed up a slow bite.

They want it dead still and slowly moved up and down through the brush limbs. Guys I cant tell you how important a bouy is right now in the pool I use one on every pile I fish to stay oriented to the brush and keep my jigs in productive water.

I have exactly nine feet of line hanging off the end of my 10 foot jig pole. Right at dark get on the banks and try dipping grass mats and docks with about two feet of line and be ready for an explosive thump. Water temp 47-49 degrees. Caught these in less than five hours. Tight Lines.

I am on Crappie.com to learn crappie Fishing!! Not knocking but on my home lake if you don't tye up to the tree and drop a minnow down you are not a true crappie fishermen!!!We have tried to show their is other ways to catch crappie!! Troll cranks,swim a grub,crappie tube,spinnerbait even catch them on a crappie alabama rig!! Greers Ferry lake is a huge impoundment(lake) more than one tree for a crappie to be hiding in!!! and Deep you cannot set out in Miller Bottoms in 40 ft of water and hold a 1/16 oz crappie jig still long enough to catch a crappie to much wind and the waves to high!! The open areas of the lake never get crappie fished!! Crappie out in the open deep water that never sees a jig or minnow!!Not the same as lake conway but bigger,deeper!! Thanks Crappie Pro read your post to learn!! I learn something about crappie fishing every post!! Instead of using 1/32,1/16 oz we have to go to heaver baits 3/16-1/4 oz will not fit in a 2 in crappie tube!!(am working on this) the only way right now is on the out side of the crappie tube!! But with the bigger tube 2 1/2 in should be possible!! Same with Nimrod he is teaching you and the same time telling about his trip on the water!! Thanks Again!!!

Jackie I love to add a #3 or #5 round water gremlin splitshot to a lighter head smaller 2" tube to get it down. The deeper and clearer the higher from the bait I place the splitshot. This is the best way I know to get a smaller offering down to deep fish quick in timber wanting a smaller offering. I am sure you have thought of this just food for thought.
