I know I give away about 80% or more of the fish I keep to those who love crappie but can't or don't fish and yeah this can become a small problem when friends or family kinda expect a regular supply but heck just have a fish fry a couple times a year and that usually pleases everyone. I'm not against conserving a great resource but I also know that fishing for me is usually feast or famine so I stock the freezer during the good days and know the non-catching days will out number the good ones. This last year was one of the most frustrating ones for me for catching crappie consistantly...no pattern worked day to day or week to week so I've been grateful for the surprising success I've had at the Pomona docks this winter and until I can fish some open water from a boat I'll be doin the "dock stare" sittin on my bucket waiting for the...tap, the doink, the lift, the thump, the hit, the.............good fishing to ya and maybe I'll see you at the docks.
Hey Slabby, were u there on Monday, MLK day, sittin on a bucket facing to the east with a black heavy coat and hood on. I was wondering because I stopped by after trying the lake in the boat to talk with the Chief. I wish that I had known u were there as I would of introduced myself. I was the one not fishin and kinda talked loud as I am constantly being told. Just wonderin. DK
