Another Newbie here, I'm Brandon and live in Independence well getting ready to move. I own a small Lawn & Landscape company with a 2yr son and 3yr daughter, and my daughter love's to fish just as much as I do. I just started to "serious crappie fish" about a year ago and now completely hooked more on the night fishing than any and to the point my wife thinks i'm seeing someone else because i'm gone so much at night lol.... I had a guy tell me last week he was craving crappie but wasn't catching any cause the water was to hot, I went out that night caught my limit 15 at smithville brought it to him and ask how I did it I just said by the pale moon light and homeade crappie light, now he's going next time. I'd love to meet a couple or one or any old time crappie fisherman and learn more i've found that this is a never ending learning experiance and something new is coming out every day!
