Thread: Hanging Crappie structure question

I don't even stop unless I see a cloud of a hundred or more. I consider it a roaring success when I pull out 10-20 crappie without snagging a jig on maybe twice as many shots, and then I move on. Maybe I set a waypoint, maybe I don't. Good docks are hard to find.

I am respectful and follow the golden rule for other's property, but I know - oh, how I know - that many yahoos and other scurvy rats on public waters don't give a rip, and ruin it for the minority of us that are doing it right. I'll move on. Plenty more other docks on the lake, it is 38 thousand acres and literally thousands of docks. So many docks, so little time...

Total respect to all dock owners. I mean it.

Honestly??? I wouldn’t mind at all if fisherman came into my dock and fished in my wells and around my dock. I would want and love for them to catch some good slabs when I’m not around and be happy!!! Only think I would like is for them to be careful, respectful, and not damage anything. Heck, they could just get on thre and chill for a good while while drinking out of their ice cold cooler of beer!!!
