Hope you get feeling better. When lake stops falling maybe we can move out to the main lake to look for slabs. When water drops a 1 and 1/2 a day it moves the fish daily. I just need 94 more straight limits to reach my goal. Someone needs to put the pressure on Russ. Plan on catching all 100 limits on what I call ''Nimrod Special'' 1/8 oz leadhead with purple/chartruse 2'' umbrella tube.

I have lots of fish frys and supply my older friends fish that don't fish. The lake I fish is really heavily populated with Crappie.

I have a team of bioligists on the payroll to determine what limits should be placed on game fish to ensure that sport fishermen have a quarry to persue. It works pretty well. If it would make you feel better, release all of yours.

Thanks NIMROD for all the great fish frys you have, myself and many others enjoy them very much.

I think I see a fish on the DI even with the glare. I need to let the wife take a look. She's better than me at reading the sonar.

How do you like the DI compared to the 2D?

It's not the color its the definition that I can't get. I'm not sure if its frequency, mhz, switchfire, clear mode,or what.

Billy, sure like scanning for cover with this new depthfiner using down scan, I'm like a kid with a new toy on Christmas morning. LOL
I was fishing up Porter Creek as the lake is high and they are dropping it fast! Fell about 1.5' since yesterday.

Nice Unit...CA Good mess of fish and I hope you get to 100 limits in a row. My run stopped at 23 but in all fairness The day it stopped was less than a half day of fishing also. I dont remember you posting limits on Nimrod for this time of year, did you figure something out or am I missing something Im guessing the lake level is good now.

Actually lake is falling like a rock. I normally net fish and can't fish the lake while commercial fishing. On the 100 limits I only count mine not anyone fishing with me. Fish alone more often anyway. Better try Nimrod for a change of senery

No casting for me I verticle jig a 1/8 oz with a 12' jig pole.

Question on the 2 in crappie tube do you use the 1/8 oz leadhead inside the tube or outside the tube( nimrod special)?
02-13-2012, 07:32 AM
NIMROD

1/8 roundheaded most use to push plastic baits on from the rear I push up inside tube. It makes a bigger bulkier bait. Tip if you use unpainted heads deburr the mold flash as it will cut the tube. Umbrellas fit fine but some fish formula or spit works fine to lube the leadhead if needed. LOL
