WhiteHare here. Have been trying to get out ahead of this front moving in but the wind isn't cooperating. Soooo instead I've resigned to do some of the Spring "Honey-do" list.
Hope to spend some time on here observing and learning.
Howdy everybody new member here from Missouri.

Hey from East LA ( Eastern lower Alabama)
Hello everyone, 53yr old Kart racer that has choosen a less physically demanding sport. Last Fall I bought a very nice 13ft 1968 fiberglass boat that is set up nicely and have went Crappie fishing about every weekend since mid March here in SW Ohio, Until last weekend Ive fished the same 650 acre lake. With Spring coming to a end and the fish going deeper Im trying to learn more skills. A couple years ago I was in eastern Ky for a race and decided to do some trout fishing while I was there, and that has got my fishing juices flowing once again!
Hi y'all,
Been fishing off and on since I was a young 'un...I'm now 50 years old. But it's been mostly off the last 15 years or so. One thing I never could understand before...and maybe one of you could enlighten me. Why is crappie fishing in particular such a draw? Why not bream fishing? And what's the difference between crappie and any other sun fish? Am I missing something? I've caught many bream in my life, but only because that's what was biting. I was basically fishing for whatever would bite my hook. I know why they have bass boats, since that seems to be the iconic fish for the sportsman...but crappie boats? I've never fished from a boat, since we could never afford one, but looking at the design of the crappie boats vs the bass boats, I can't see what people see in the bass varieties. Crappie boats seem to be the best design for the fisherman, or maybe that's the fisherman that's not in a hurry (which is the only kind of fishing I could imagine...the unhurried kind).
Anyway, just rambling along. Howdy to all y'all.
welcome 53yr old newbie myself, Crappie there are plenty in SW Ohio so we fish them! Bass dont grow that big this far North that I know of? boats heck I didnt know there were Crappie boats but I bought a nice old fiberglass boat for under $1000 from a crappie fisherman last Fall and use it about every weekend, dont need a big motor to make it back to the weigh in quickly or out to the best cove quickly, I just put around normally just run the tolling motor and slay Crappie, and love it.
Hello all, I'm new to the forum but I love to fish and this cappie fishing has really gotten a hold on me. I plan to hit the site hard to learn what I can

Hey guys! I'm new to the sight, been hunting and fishing all my life! I haven't fished for crappie in about 20 years.
My Granddad and Dad fished exclusively for crappie and really didn't do anything else but work. I have to say that the main reason I haven't crappie fished in a while is because my dad passed 20 years ago and my granddad passed about 18.
it's still hard for my to go out on the lake with out them. However now I'm a dad and my son also loves to hunt and fish.
so to make a long story short , I started telling my son about all the good times I had crappie fishing with my folks so he's talked me into buying a boat and trying to carry on the tradition. I'm a bit rusty and have forgotten more than I could remember so any pointers and tips will be greatly appreciated. We live in Macon Ga. And will be fishing Oconee, Sinclair, Juliette, Jackson, Blachsher and Westpoint. We are eager to get started and plan on trying to catch some this summer and get a head start on learning the lakes. I really like the sight and it is full of some great information .
Thank
chad
:welcometo the site and hope you have some great success catchin' crappies.
I'm a new guy here, but not to fishing. I live in south central PA, York to be exact. I'm a seasoned fly fisherman fishing most of the trout streams and lakes close to me.
The two closest lakes to me are Pinchot and Marburg. Both are packed with crappie and 'gills. I've come to love Crappie fishing the best. Both of these lakes fish well all year long. I like catchin' Crappie when the snow is falling!
I've been tying flies for years, so I tie some pretty neat crappie jigs. I also have great success with soft plastic and Gulp Alive.
This is a neat site! Anyone else fish in central PA?

I fish Arkabutla, Sardis, and Enid (in that order). Arkabutla's my home lake. These lakes including Grenada are the greatest crappie lakes in the world. I fish for crappie and catfish. I love everything about fishing and I love talking with other fisherman. I've known about this site for a while and finally decided to check it out. So far it has been an enjoyable experience.

Hello all from the gin clear waters of Lake Tuscaloosa. I've crappie fished very little the last 20 years due to work and family and I'm glad to be back. The majority of my fishing last 20 years has been been limited to chasing over feed, under fished pond bass, which is not bad. I bow and duck hunt when time allows and I've been privaliged to be involved with the BDAF and taking disable hunters deer since before it's inception.
Take a kid hunting and fishing will be my sig post when I get around to setting up my profile.
welcome fellow Buckeye, sounds like You to are experiancing Crappie mania! Fish on Fish on, they are little harder to find in July, but I did catch a 14 1/2" slab today drop shoting with a minnow!Quote:

Well looks like the best place start,, Hello all from the left coast down in sunny southern California, can't stand the fishing around here so drive 242 miles out to my man cave out in Topock AZ near the Colorado River(boarders CA/AZ) to do my fishing, had this little cave for about a year and a half now and next to it is the Topock Marsh a large back water shallow lake, think its 5000 acres, has decent population of crappie, and plan to put a few in the frying pan,,In the last few years been doing a lot of Flathead catfish down river from where I;m at now, so know I'm going to start doing some crappie fishing seeing the flat population is not that good up here. Just got a little 12'jon and a 6hp to deal with 1' to 5' ft of water so now I got to get out and find them,,, grew up fishing for cats and crappie with my grand dad down on Lake Havasu but been many a year since(near 50),, anyways I'll make into thread here soon,, got quick ? how many post to post pics?

Hello I am the TIG-Master. Originally from Fla and now live in Aberdeen NC. I have been fishing both on top and under as a scuba diver since I was 15. Since moving to NC in 2007 I had but given it all up. This past Fathers day my wife decided to give me a fishing Kayak as a gift. I have been hooked ever since. To the point that I had to fabricate a custom aluminum trailer for my yak.Myself and my wife we own a Welding & Fab shop. I like this site and hope to gain
more knowledge of the waters and fish from NC and other places.
