I can't really say that I am totally new here. I've got a garage full of green fluorescent lights, line-counter reels, jig poles and assorted other equipment proving that I've been reading your excellent posts on nightstalks, spiderrigging, trolling Bandits and other techniques for several years. My wife says I am, shall we say, heavily invested.

The good Lord and my wife both willing, I've got about 12-15 years before I retire and move away from Little Rock. In the meantime, my goal is to learn how to catch more crappie from Lake Maumelle. Once I learn where on Lake Maumelle the crappie actually hit series 300 Tennessee shad Bandits spiderrigged at 1.3 mph at night under a green light on a 14 foot jig pole with a line-counter reel, I will post pictures and reports. Until then, I look forward to getting to know you on Greers Ferry, Ouachita, Cane Creek, Nimrod and other such less challenging bodies of water.
