people like me that fish with one rod and enjoy the peace of being on the lake wont be able to catch a fish because of these vacuum cleaners. Might as well make it legal to crappie fish with gill nets. Just my two cents.

Maybe you need a new neighborhood to hang out in, as you clearly dont like this one. Keep your two cents as i dont feel it's needed here.

Giving your two cents is one thing, but coming on here and complaining how members are legally fishing will not get you anything but silence. Just my .

Just out of curiosity. If you take a client out for a half day and you both catch a limit and you have another client booked that afternoon. Do you fish that afternoon or do you just let him fish? May not happen on the pontoon I understand with a group but in the bass boat it could. I've always wondered how guides handle this situation.


crossarm is entitled to his opinion just like all of us, everyone may not agree but he's still entitled to voice it. It would be pretty a boring place if we all liked the same stuff.

That was me running the trolling motor in the video. How many crappie can you keep per day fishing with one rod? You can keep 20, so can I. If I catch my 20 on 20 rods, how is that any different legally than what you are doing? You catch 20 and you are done, so am I. So you would be willing to see me stopped from fishing the way I choose to just because you don't fish that way? I could probably come up with a dozen things you do that I don't do the same way but that doesn't mean I'm going to try to get you to stop doing things your way just because I choose to do it differently. I don't care how you fish but I don't think you should be critical of me and all the hundreds of other crappie fishermen on this site who do things differently than the way you think we should.

There. I was nicer than I was to the last guy who had just a few more posts than this guy.

Alright ... everyone just relax & don't get your panties in a wad. The man said his peace, and is entitled to his opinion. We all agree to disagree, & be civil about it ... remember ??

Justin, hopefully Randy or Rich or both will answer your question. Since I was in the video but I do not guide, I will not try to answer because I really have no idea how they do things you asked about.

I am primarily a "2 poler" but enjoy spider rig'n as well. Just because you're drag'n a lot of baits behind the boat doesn't mean you're gonna limit every time. Some days different techniques work better than others.

There have been many days that I have been 2 pole'n and jump'n brush piles and smoked every spider rigger, long liner, & crank puller in the bay. Then there have been days that are the other way around. Either way I fish, I am constrained by the legal limit and my ethics as a sportsman. There's an art to spider rig'n, long line'n, and pull'n cranks. You can't just go out and throw a few crank baits over the side or multiple poles over the bow or stern of the boat and expect to catch fish every time. It ain't gonna happen.

While I understand and can appreciate your "Purest" approach to crappie fish'n, I also respect other's rights to fish the way they choose.

The reason I started spider rig'n was not because it was "easy" to catch more fish. It was because my dad is 79 and loves crappie fish'n, but has severe Arthritis in his hands and shoulders and can't hold a rod all day without being in pain. Spider rig'n allows me to take him out for an enjoyable day of fishing & I have the comfort of knowing he's not suffer'n thru it. I could do the same pull'n cranks or long line'n.

Try to be open minded... As long as they are following the rules, and abiding by the size & limit regs., I'm good with any way a person chooses to crappie fish. You should be too.

And that's just my .
