ok so i got a little bit of a late start to taylorsville could not leave the house till 7am, then got all the way to elk creek and realized i did not bring the rod holders. drove back to j-town got rod holers and then to taylorsville finally on the water 9am. i just aquired 8 southern crappie 16 ft poles from a member on here so i wanted to troll around with them a bit and try to get used them. i have never spider rigged before so i only took 4 of them. i did not catch anything but i did get out there it is going to take a few times for me to get used to it. water was 56 degrees and choppy, very windy early got blown into the bank all 4 rods hung up lol but only lost 1 road runner. have not caught the first fish yet but can already tell i am going to love it.thanks to all of you who have answered my many questions on this and thanks uleryboy for the rods.
