Yeah, I'll say WOW! Imagine what they'd done if you had threaded an ice cube on the hook and dropped that down to them???

Looks like you need to start trawling too!Rofl

Just because your trawling doesn't mean it easy, there's more to it than just blind dragging and learning how to fish using different techniques just makes you a well rounded fisherman and able to adapt to different conditions throughout the year, fishing different lakes will help to Nimrod lol! Biggrin

I bet I've fished more lakes over the years than most. With high gas prices I stay close on Nimrod and Dardanelle most of the time. Unless your wealthy , I can't see anyone driving far fishing as many days as I do. It takes more skill jigging over spider rigging IMO. I catch limits of fish jigging but don't feel the need to go back to spider rigging. I give away most of my catch anyway.

Thats a fine mess you got there!

If I lived on lake nimrod I would put structure in as well and would vertical jig, but I do not, I do vertical jig almost always and do prefer this method but fishing with methods other than this doesn't mean you don't know how to fish, we all enjoy the sport of crappie fishing and should be happy for others no matter how they catch em!

Excellent catch Greg!! How deep were they? I agree with your comments 100 percent. I like to "trawl" myself and don't worry too much what the local "expert" thinks.

Keep up the good work and catch'em however you want!!!
