Havn't been on this board since October! Between losing a job, deer season, and duck season, I just havn't had the time. Anyway, duck season is now over as of yesterday, so now I will take my decoy bags and all duck hunting stuff out of my boat and get ready to fish again. FYI.....I have fished with Darrell at Greeson and I fish all over the Central AR area. I just didn't realize until the past couple of years that crappie fishing doesn't have to wait until spring to get good in these parts. I will be fishing this weekend if my wife will let me be gone for the 14th straight weekend? (remember, deer season started in October). Anyway, enough of that. I do have a question?

I have the driftmaster 4-pole set up on the front of my boat for spider-rigging. (Which I am still trying to master). For those of you that try this set-up, do you like 8, 9, 10ft, etc. poles. What works best for you. I know you vary the depth until you find them, but what is easier for ya'll?

I never tried this until this site and fishing over tops with Darrell Morris about 2 yrs ago. My favorite thing is a 10 ft B&M with a jig ang a gold fish fishing straight down into tops, but that doesn't always work, so I am exploring. Sorry, this was so long! Everyone is asleep, so I am kind of bored!
