Hello everyone. I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I've been an avid pan-fish and bass guy for a while now. I mostly shore and dock fish at the lakes in my neighborhood or at my mothers place. My brother has a bass boat and we occasionally go out. He is a Realtor though so he has a very difficult schedule for weekend trips. I've never fished crappie before but I'm excited to try. Worst case is I enjoy the day and catch nothing. I also enjoy fishing for crackers and gill. I've landed some big blue tilapia as well. I had no idea what they were at the time, so I threw them back. they were close to 5lbs each. I'm looking forward to any advice or adventures.
