BTW, if you're in Hattiesburg, ya ought to hook up with Hunter771. He's moving down there from up North before long and is gonna need some help gettting started in South MS.
Oh, and welcome aboard.

I'm afraid I'll be no help to anybody if they need some finding Crappies down here in South Mississippi. I've laid into a few Bass on private water but when I feel the need to rear back and set the hook I fall in to my old tricks and run right back down there to coastal Louisiana. Specks & Reds is my primary game and I'll throw whatever it takes to get a box of fish. Might be a cocahoe, might be a shrimp or just a piece of plastic big enough to melt down into a dozen Sockleye charms. That's pronounced Sac-a-lay and is nothing but a coona$$ Crappie. Caught a few of them too but I'm still a Wanabe when it comes to fishing on home turf. Thanks to you and that fellow in glass for the fine welcome.
Noproblem HeyTeaseBurger. Hunter knows how, just won't know where. Yall'd prolly make a fine pair. Pair of what, I'm not sure. :)
Now get to posting. Being a newbie ain't no way to live.

Knowing where to catch 'em is half the ticket. I relocated up here in 2003 preceding the exodus from South Louisiana caused by the storm and I've yet to know where to catch Crappies locally. I do have a line on a new fishing hole that I will share with the hunter from up north and any other Wannabes out there. Lake Bogue Home is East of Laurel on Hwy 84 and has been closed since the storm due to a massive fish kill caused by debris getting dumped in the lake. MDWFP drained it and cleaned it up. They restocked it and it's been closed for the past 4 years. My Buddy Danny Evans is the MDWFP man at the lake and he says it is chock full of nice Crappies, Bream, Bass and Catfish. It reopens on May 13th to public fishing. I'll be there. Look for the blue topped Hanko with the fantails. I'll be hooked up.

MinnerChunker here, I'm from Memphis, but my heart has long been in Mississippi. I've been doin' all sorts of fishin since before I remember. Been dablin in crappie fishin for the past couple years, and I got the bug, BAD! Glad to be among experts in the field and appreciate all the good advice. Be lookin forward to the day I graduate to the big leagues with the rest of ya'll.
Big leagues? I'm no big leaguer but I'm sure there are some here. I fished 3 years at Sardis before I got into 'em and boxed some nice fish. I've caught some Crappies here and there over my life but it's the big ones that I want to catch. I'm really excited about the trophy lakes here in Mississippi. Don't get me wrong I like a fish fry and any Crappies are the best fish to eat. Just get the grease hot and it don't matter how big they are. But there is something about a stringer of big Crappies that just does it for me. I guess it goes back to my Dad who first taught me to catch 'em and who loved Crappies more than any other fish we caught. Regardless of how or why I'm here, I got the fevah and I'm happy to be here talking about it with people just like you who might have caught some nice Crappies in their day or are just wanting to find them just like me. Welcome aboard.
Thanks. Yeah the trophy lakes and their tributaries are among the best for crappie fishin. I've pulled some of my biggest fish from creeks and runoffs from Butla.
I have recently relocated to the Batesville area. The perfect place for a crappie fisherman. Sad to say, I have not fished for crappie since the early 60s. I have purchased a crappie boat, have plenty of good rods and reels and lots of crappie lures. So when this weather breaks, I will attack Sardis and Enid lakes. I have been enjoying the forum. If someone would like a day on the lake and willing to bring me up to date on crappie fishing I would be interested. My email is: [email protected].
Hiya Fellars,
My name is Doug Yarborough and I am from Cleveland, Mississippi I am 33 years old and have had a great passion for the outdoors for as long as I can remember. It was the way I was brought up. I share my passion with my wife and 3 girls. They are age 11 and a set of twins age 9. We enjoy hunting every type of game and type, bowfishing, camping, gardening, and absolutely love to fish--mainly crappie. We also share this same passion with my mother and stepfather who are in their late 50's. We all have many, many, many memories in the outdoors together as a family. I tie all types of jigs and raise my own live bait as part of understanding the true meaning of fishing. We have 400 acres of hunting land in Holcomb, Mississippi that is absolutely eat up with deer and small game and crawling with longbeards. We mainly fish local small lakes and other lakes like Washington, Whittington, Beulah, Ferguson, Moon, DeSoto,and Lee. We have fished the Corp lakes too from time to time. Every weekend and holiday we get to be in the outdoors thats where we are at. It is my honor to be a part of this site and be among other people who share my passion.:)

Glad to have you with us Doug.

Hi I'm Handtied. I'm from Brandon and fish the rez mainly. I do attempt to fish wolf and bee lake also.
I started crappie fishing 3-4 years ago and have been lucky to have a few old timers show me how to get going. I've had a fairly good spring so far with 3 fish fry's and about 250 fillets in the freezer already. I talk to DonDon alot on another forum (He's a really good guy so don't hold it against me)
DD is the one that told me about coming over here, glad to be here and hope everyone has a great spring fishing.
I have been registered here for about 6 months and have never posted but think its about time to start.
How do Jpuck and tied. As Mayor of the MS Crappie.com board it behoves me to inform you both of a few rules. First, you are now required to buy boat insurace. Second, there is a tax levied on all fishing equipment at 5% of the value, including your boat(s) to be paid by April 8 every year. PM me and I'll send you a handy postage payed envelope you can use.
Oh, and tied....I don't think I'd have tolt that about DD right off the bat. Not a way to make friends around here.

Hi fellows, I'm new to Crappie.com but not to fishing. I'm from Collinsville, MS and mainly fish Lake Okatibbee for crappie. I used to just fish tops with minnows, but recently learned a little about spider rigging with jigs and nibbles. Haven"t bought a minnow in a while now. Thank you guys for sharing your tricks and tips with everyone. I can't wait to try some of the new techniques I've been reading about. I'm on disability from the railroad so I've got plenty of time to read yall's posts. Thanks again, Scott.
Hi all...I started crappie fishing about 10 yrs ago and have all but given up on the bass tournaments....stick mostly with the crappie now with just jigs...No spider-rigging and no minnows for me. I guess I can say I'm addicted to the "thump" of a slab popping a jig.
I'm from Macon, Ms. My main lakes are Aberdeen, Columbus, Aliceville, and Gainesville. I take an occasional trip to Grenada or Bee Lake. Nice to be on a "crappie" board now. Look forward to sharing stories and pics.
Welcome to Crappie.com
welcome aboard tournament fisherman
Just don;t forget yo chest high waders for all the Poo thats slung on here
Well been a resident of Jack Town area all my life. Grandfather was an expert crappie fisherman. He fished the oxbow lakes of Natchez and Vicksburg area in the 40's,50's and 60's before he died of hear attack at a boatlaunch in 69. I have been fishing all my life. Mostly pond stuff. Now have boat and am learning the ropes. Proud to say I have proper LAUNCH ETIQUITE. Have tried the REZ, Eagle and Chotard with little luck. Love reading the threads on here
Welcome, glad to have you.
welocome in bro!
kick back and join in. Welcome about from the rez here
Hi guys been fishing all my life just got in to crappie fishing the last few years at the spillways and just got a boat so have been on here alot thought I would join and hopefully learn some stuff and make some friends.
Glad to have you with us oleblue. Just pay attention to what everyone says except Wannabe and you will learn a lot.
Welcome oleblue. Lots to be learned here.
First lesson is buying a boat is like marrying another wife. Requires constant attention and money.
Yep, but you'll love her anyway.Quote:

Hey folks! I have been sittin back and enjoying reading the forums for the past several weeks. I have decided to join in on the action. Seems to be alot of good advice and hospitality floating around here. I started crappie fishing the big waters about 5 years ago and cant go a spring without it. I live in Southaven and mainly fish Sardis and Butla during the spring and early summer. I am strictly a single poler dedicated to the jig tipped with the minna most of the time. Never trolled but thinkin of giving it a whirl to give me something to do for the summer and fall. Im looking forward to getting to know you all.
Welcome aboard....we are glad to have you.
After reading around this site for the past couple months I finally decided to get in on this action. There seems to be alot of knowledge goin around on here and alot of good people. I do most of my fishin with get-the-dm-net who also just joined the site. I live in southaven and fish butla and sardis and as well as those big gills down at lakeview (about a 7 minute drive from the house). I look forward to gettin to know all of yall and sharing some exciting stories. C n' T
Welcome to the Mississippi board....just make yourself at home and watch out for Wannabe.
Why is everybody always picking on me? I'm loyal, will fetch the paper and I haven't peed on the carpet in months.
Welcome CnT.

I'd write a song but I fear to hear it sung. I'll give it a try anyway. Here's the Wannabe as I see him today...
I can't catch no Crappie and my Baby she don't Love me while the newbies just don't understand that I used to be the Man but now I gotta stand up in front this crowd and puff my chest out proud hoping for some respect while I suspect that my day as the one with the fisherman brings no solace so if I could coin a phrase to get me a little praise I'd start by saying there've been better days when I didn't barter tears nor express any fears because then I was was King of Crappie.com and nobody would deny it. Now my Sun has set. Boo-hoo-hoo and whoa is me.
I live just off sardis and fish as often as I can usually several days a week. started trolling last year using crankbaits. I am only 43 and had some serious health problems last year but for now am over them. That only means things I thought meant alot brfore last year mean less now and the things that really are important only matter to me now. I have been doing pretty good trolling catching about 20 keepers a trip.
OH no!!!! He's back!!!!:eek:Quote:
