I must be CHEAP !!!

My late dad taught me how to crappie fish. He grew up poor and learn to fish to put food on the table. I use to say any man who thinks needs a 60k truck to pull a 50k boat to catch a bass with a 300 dollar rod and 300 reel is not doing it to put food on the table. I learned how to crappie fish cane pole. We used a metal clothes hanger and black tape to make the eyes and reel for our spring time set-ups. I had a Johnson Century and he had his beloved Ambassador 5000 for crappie fishing any other time of year. Daddy used 20lb test for everything and only fished with minnows. He would laugh at me if he saw me using jigs today. He was a heck of a fisherman and supplied the entire neighborhood with fish in the freezer. I fish for enjoyment nowdays but I always remember his words when I see a bass fisherman casting $20 lures with a $600 rod and reel.
