Took my dad on a fishing trip today with (mrdux) at Crappie, Gills and More, we battled treacherous winds, big waves, but caught lots of keepers! Doug had to work hard today steering the boat, but kept us on the fish. Highly recommend Crappie, Gills and more! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ec159cd547.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...731d725853.jpg

I've heard nothing but good about Mrdux, will try him myself one day, hopefully soon. He also imparts wisdom to the many readers here. Much appreciated Mrdux.
Very nice, Mrdux is the real deal for sure, he aims to please!!!
Nice fish!! Doug's a good guy and an absolute wealth of knowledge on those lakes!
Looks like a great day!
Thanks Mike. It was a pleasure fishing with you again and with your Dad for the 1st time. You guys hung in there with me in some challenging conditions that had ran most others who ventured out off the lake.
BTW, Mike's Dad's big fish weighed 2 pounds even.

Man, sounds good, great report. Yep, have Doug scheduled for a trip in May. Looking forward to it. Hope to catch some fish, but really look forward to learning something new, especially on the crankin/trolling technique.
Get ready to dig deep into your pockets. Once you learn from Doug, you'll be like the rest of us. You'll get hooked on pulling cranks too.Quote:

Also, I really don't have my 16 ft. Lowe's Sryker set up for trolling. So, to be honest, the trip is to learn what I need (baits, poles, rigging) to get some idea of how to set my boat for crankin. I'm pretty much a Jig fisherman, (casting, not trolling) and when I find a few on a jig in an area, I go back and work the same area with minnows. Like I said, looking forward to the trip. I have the utmost respect for guides, they work their butt's off to help you get onto fish, regardless of the results. I've only hired 3 guides in the past 20 years, and all have been great. Learned a lot from each trip and well worth the money. When I truly retire, maybe I can spend about 100 days/year fishing and keep up with the patterns/techniques. Currently, too dang busy working.
