Greetings all; Use to fish Smithville Lake on weekends and was a weekend fisherman. Caught Crappie and Bass out of luck and NO skill. BUT, since I met " just jerkin" have greatly refined my skills and he has turned me into a "hardcore Crappie fisherman". I don't EVER given him credit, but truth be told, I owe what I know now and the skill I have now is not luck or just at the right place at the right time. Reading a lot and some of the posts here, have helped me a lot. We ( just jerkin and amsoil boater will fish in harsh conditions, windy, and rough water together when everyone else is at home or wishing for better days, we fish until the lake freezes up or we can't cut the ice with the boat any more, we don't winterize the boat, we fish until we can't get on the lake.
