I hate to bring my best stuff and then get second place with it..........know what I mean? Just curious, but will a feller with jig heads and jigs have a
chance against the minner slingers? Sometimes I like to fish under a bobber with a line stopper, sometimes I don't. I don't usually take up a lot of
room in a boat, but don't like to be short of what is catchin' fish either. Since Toledo Bend is going to be a new experience for me, got any suggestions?
Asking now so I won't talk your head off asking questions while in the boat actually catching fish..............know what I mean? Sometimes I get confused
if I'm reeling in a large crappie and talking at the same time. LOL Getting more ready everyday.

You're in huge trouble, Danny don't tote minners. Also, don't worry about talking too much to him, you'll have a hard time getting in a word edgewise in his boat. He's one of the best guy's you'll ever meet though.

That is good info. I don't fish with minners either. I can be a real good listener too. Sounds like a fun time ahead of us.

Thanks, Randy I do like to talk. RR honestly don't get your hopes up. I really don't know much about crappie fishing. I fished the coop this afternoon and only caught 1 and missed 1. But on the bright side I did lose 6 jigs. Saw a few caught, all on shiners, And this time of year, shiners are best. Will try again tomorrow, several places and with shiners. Water was 49 degrees and a little murky. Best I saw 2 guys had 12 from daylight to 4:30. I will try a little shallower tomorrow. By the way I will have about 7 or 8 jig poles and 4 or 5 ultralights in the boat, but don't be surprised if I pull out my drop shot rig on some tops,and try for a green carp.

If everyone could bring 5's instead of 10's it will make distributing the money a lot easier.
Thanks
