posts ruining your fishin

[Cane Pole]

Folks have been fishing in my locale for years and years. They have yet to "fish it out". I have seen BOAT WARS in front of my house over brush I put out.

If that lake ever gets fished out, we're all in trouble! lol

If I was gonna post a spot where I caught fish, it would never be one of my honey holes. I'd give out a spot where you could catch fish but it you'd have to weed through them to find any keepers which is what I do. Usually a dock or two that may hold some 6-8" fish or something like that. And that's only if I know they wouldn't keep a lot of them either. I believe in letting them grow up before harvesting them. I like going out to try and find them. It's a challenge, escpecially fishing a lake that's not known for crappie fishing. I'm a member of a club and we really don't give out specifics on where but what to look for.

If I was a guide, which I plan on being in the next couple of years, I wouldn't give out any holes. That's your bread n butter!

I joined to to learn how to be a better crappie fisherman through technique and trial n error. Not all tactics work everywhere. I started making my own cover and brush piles. Learned where to place them. How to pattern their movements. A lil info from each state. My lake has a lil of everything so I want to know where to look given a section of the lake I plan on fishing. I'd like to thank everyone for all that I've learned in the short time I've been a member.

This is a non issue for me. Gotta be able to catch a few before I get a stalker!

I have given lots of fishing spots to others to catch fish and have even had other people pull up while I was fishing honey holes it's all how you fish the spot and as all of you know they are very finicky fish and only bite if they are hungry... That being said your average joe can't pick up a jig turn on his trolling motor and get the rod at the right depth and the jig at the right speed... Jig fishin is an art if you learn from trial and error... Minners are another one of those things that 6" more off the bottom and you aren't gonna catchem. Catching big crappie is one of the hardest fish to catch cause they didn't get big by being stupid. I have watched fish move from 2 ft to 12 ft in the matter of hours, fishing a lake that has a fluctuation in elevation every few days seems to givem lockjaw! If your afraid your fishin spots gonna be fished out when you see another boat coming pull up and move

You know it's funny how you can and will watch a TV fishing show or read a fishing magazine that gives detailed video and pics of the spots the pros in the media are at and no one complains. But let someone post a pic or spot in a forum and everyone gets bent. It is really funny how that happens. Go figure...

I've had several who have hijacked some of my favorite spots then later bragged that it was their spot. That's why I have 30 favorite spots on my lake

not a problem for me, 99 out of 100 of those shows are on lakes that I'll never get to.
