Thread: Question for the crappie pros

Once the Jetskis hit the water. I just can't afford a large enough liability insurance policy to stay on the water and fish. I have this unstoppable urge to hurl a one ounce sinker tied to a few treble hooks at every one that comes close enough for me to reach. I haven't yet hooked up, but I have come close. Not far behind is boat driving idiots, that don't know how to plane a boat and they actually slow down and act as if they are doing me a favor by slowing down and going by swamping me with that 4 foot wake.
Some people just shouldn't be allowed to own a boat.


They just suck the fun right out of it.

I don't know exactly how the laws read, but a game officer told me a couple of years ago, that if a jet ski is close enough to you for you to read his registration #'s he is too close, write it down and call him and he would deal with it.

If you guys remember several years back, there were numerous fatalities from some adrenaline junkies that would see how close they could get to the back of a boat while it was running down the lake, just to jump a wake. There where some new laws passed resulting from some of those deaths. Make the call and help keep some of those idiots alive.

i fish martin quite a bit usually up around wind creek and elkahatchee usually have pretty good success but its bass season right now the crappie are done up that way. 2 weeks ago caught 14 not one had any eggs in it. the spotted bass are hittin pretty good though on small rattle traps and lizards fished with a split shot about 6 inches up is what i have alot of luck on

don't forget the wake boarders with the competition stereo systems that drive circles constantly with the radio loud enough to hear across the entire lake.its people like that who can ruin a perfectly good day i get so mad sometimes. i think i should probably leave my pistol in the truck before i snap one day.lol

Hey guys thank you for those tips I find it really interesting that you can still long line troll just in different locations. I am not much for setting on the banks playing with the snakes (Iam like Indiana Jones - I hate snakes!!!). Are there any ideas of any certain areas to go I live in the Huntsville Area?

Yea guys, thanks for all the input, I find it very helpful. Treykelly, I fish up that way alot in the winter time also, chasing those stripers. I am fairly familiar with wind creek area. Just started learning a bit about the elkahatchee area. My family has a place in Blue Creek, so I spend alot of time in that area also.
