So who wants to show a new guy the ropes? This weekend I am busy with family stuff but would really like to get out next weekend and get out on the water. Most of my crappie fishing experience has been off the dock with minnows dropping straight down, so I guess I am a bit green on experience.
I live in Vinita and would be more than happy to do the driving or towing if necessary. And that reminds me, I need to put my crappie.com sticker on my truck!
You're not that far from me Dya. I might go out and play Sunday.
I would take that offer if you can Dyabolical. Reaper is always a pleasure to fish with. I'm already looking forward to our annual fishing trip in May :)
Oh I would be honored for sure!
Not such an honor. Nothing more than a huntin trip in an old boat, just hunting for Crappie. I went out on Talala Creek yesterday and got skunked.Quote:

I can set my rods on the dock, sit in a comfy chair and have a few cold ones. When the fish bite, I set my cold one down, reach down and grab the rod and set the hook. Then I reel the fish in. If I'm feeling really lazy, I put a piece of 6" PVC pipe down into the top of the fish basket and strap it to a pole. Then I just let the fish slide down into the basket without having to pull the basket up. I don't work hard at this stuff.
OK Toon....we have to have a picture of that operation......sounds better than spyder-rigging.....
I'm just down the road and around the corner in Eufaula Estates... we just bought our place last year so i'm always looking for ideas to enhance the dock for fishing comfort.. I like the PVC idea :) might be a good topic to start. Dock enhancement ideasQuote:
