New Member here - Just joined this past week and have learned so much thus far. I retired from the Army in 2006 and then took an IT job here in Columbus. I've lived in Columbus since 1992 minus a 4 year tour to Alaska. I am an Avid Bass Fisherman but hopefully that will turn seasonal for me as I plan to do much Crappie Fishing now that I'm getting older (46). I'm familiar with West Point, Harding, Oliver and Eufaula for Bass Fishing. I'm unfamiliar with ALL of those lakes in terms of Crappie Fishing. Like I said, I just realized I wanted to start Crappie fishing like on Monday, hehe.

For Christmas I asked the wife for the "Funds" to purchase everything needed to build my own Spider Rig for the boat and 8 Rods and Reels. She approved, I purchased and this weekend will be my first time!!! I've asked my Dad (69) to come with me, should be hoots of fun!

Looking forward to learning everything there is to learn from you guys. It's great to be among such Crappie Experts!
