I am similar to you in that my Dad isnt a fisherman or hunter. He enjoys the outdoors in other ways (camping, hiking, floating). So I also had to teach myself. I for one really appreciate the help and information that you and others have given me. I have learned more about crappie fishing in this past year, then in all of the previous years i have fished. I also understand why some folks are pretty tight lipped. However, if someone asks me something, I will tell them what I know. Sometimes it isnt much though.
