Attachment 133507But its fun to have and to apply various techniques to locate Ole Mr. Crappie
who can be found year around nite or day.
I think I own about 17...and the wife says I have too many! Now I know why I keep getting out-fished by you pro's!!!
I keep 18-20 on my boat most of the time and at least 20 more in my shop. Out of all the poles, only 3 are bass rods, the rest are for crappie.
I guess having all those rods, reels, and additional equipment is just like an addiction.
You walking through a sporting goods store and see something that you think might
work better than what you have, so you buy it,( however in case it does work good,
and you break it, how long will it take you to get back to this store to get another or
how far away from store to you live) so instead of buying 1 - you buy 3 o4 4...same
goes for jigs, grubs, types of hooks, weights, weighted hooks, thread for tying,
list just goes on and on and on.................
One thing about our addicktion to fishing equipment its nothing like the ladies and
their love for "shoes", blouses, belts, handbags, scarfs, various styles of jewerly...
Its the same whether we are male or female.....
Back to fishing with lots of equipment - number thing to remember and this is hard
to do. " If you aren't catchin fish with one style of equipment or presentation, you
have got to be flexible and change, do something different, have a second - third
plan on what to do or try... this is what makes a good day or fishing from a bad"
Don't fall on the excuse "they just weren't biting today", duh! ! ! ! ! ! They were
there, you just didn't make the correct presentation. = Location, presentation and
fish make for a perfect day of fun...
Sorry about soap box...
I have 37, but Speckanator, why do you have to prove anything to "my wife"? rotfl
150 plus. They don't eat, rot, etc., just wait to go fishing. One of the best investments I have and enjoy.:fish
