I stocked my pond last year with a thousand black crappie. They have not been biting and I thought I had lost them. To my surprise I found out different today. I bought my lil fishing partner Patrick his own bnm sharpshooter with a presidential reel today. Also I picked up some curly tails at bps while I was there after reading a thread earlier out of Arkansas about how good they work.
Patrick was so excited to have his own equipment he took my curly tails and headed straight to my pond. He could not wait to hit Martin at four in the AM. I didn't expect a crappie report, I thought maybe a few bass and cats. But this cat comes back telling me he caught eleven crappie 7-9" long in fifteen minutes and they are killing it.
So we learned he loves his new rod and reel combo and the curly tails work in the pond. We will have a report on Martin round lunch tomorrow as far as the curly tails go......
