You are one tough hombre....or touched...lol
Oh,,The chill bumps will go away eventually,,surely...lol
They haven't yet. Maybe by may or june. Couldn't feel my hands. Made it tough using the ipilot remote.
Let's go with touched. Had the lake to myself except when a couple dudes launched. I overheard one say to the other "it aint too bad". They didn't last very long.
did you catch them all????? Im on call all weekend or I would probably been there too.......Hard core
hands and feet are still without feeling, I feel your pain rcc
I'll be able to relate this time tomorrow
ur r a crzy person dang u mad at the fish or what
To those going tomorrow good luck and be safe. I think today was the worst stuff I've ever fished in.
I haven't been since the fall. Got that crappie disease that makes a person do stupid stuff:biggrinQuote:

We still caught about 40 though, which is proof if your around crappie weather isn't much of a deterrent. My buddy and his dad went yesterday and caught over 50 but dad didn't wanna make the long drive West and I told him we still had time before spawn to get back on them.
20+ mph here...gusting to near 30. Saw 1 truck/trailer on the ramp all afternoon. Bet he was hiding in a cove somewhere though.:rolleyes:
Maybe he was going sailing, did the boat have a sail on it:biggrinQuote:

I ventured out to Conway. Yes it was tough, but the crappie were biting. No size, not worthy of pictures on this site.
Ahhh my nice, warm couch.
You better bring your A game if you want to post fish pics on this site. Between big fish and big coolers full of fish, the few minners that I catch don't deserve an honorable mention. Fortunately, they still taste pretty good when cooked just right.Quote:

I just came in from the lake, after having called a friend to come fishing with me, we had a tuff day, maybe had 15 between us, non of them were big enough, even with a vivid imagination to be called slabs. But you know what, its was cold,,wind was battering us, fish were small, but I promise you, neither him nor I reget going and had my batterys not died in my camera,,I'd a been tickled pink to post pics. We certainly made a man and woman who were taking out when we did a happy couple, we gave them our fish...they thanks us repeatly...that was pretty good fish I'd say!!!Quote:

These were all folks that used to enjoy crappie fishing just like us but are not able and will not ever be able to do that again. But they still savor being able to eat a fresh cooked crappie filet and remember the good times they used to have on the water.... It is a priviledge to be able to make someone's day like that and just seeing the smile on their face was enough to make my day also....remember, we will someday be in the same predicament if we live long enough!
couldnt said it better myself! its worth it all to see that smile from someone that appreciates little things like a good ole fried feelay
Now xring, I humbly disagree with you disagreeing with me. I'm gonna post a picture of a fish. I made an attempt to long arm this one to hide his actual size. In all of your posting I've never seen you post a picture of one this little, and even if you did, I would know that it would be the rare exception for you to catch one this tiny. So for sake of proving my point, here is a crappie.Quote:

This was my first crappie of 2012 yesterday. Pure dee ole pitiful. Yesterdays catch was a few good 6 inchers and some small ones. Now wouldn't you be afraid to be caught in a pic with fish that smallRofl It was so small it's shadow weighed more that the actual fish.
Hey xring, my fish are so small I've been duct taping 2 filets end to end so my wife don't snicker everytime she drops a "filet" in the grease.
Dude!! When you "long arm" you're supposed to hold the fish toward the camera, not away from it!! :Doh:
Make a trip over here RCC and we'll fix that. Just bring your cooler and a jig pole buddy.Quote:

That's because his camera doesn't have a Macro setting. RoflXring's Rule of thumb crappie measuring: Check the lip and then check the anal gland. If they are not touching, it's a keeper.
I've never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. Maybe if I'da gotta the leeettle fishy over behind the bucket moreQuote:

Now she is just rurn't she wouldn't even go with me at all Saturday. All she wants to do is go back over west of Conway and south of Dardanelle. One of these days we'll show up and after a few days of fishing, Nimrod will be saying, why don't ya'll go fish Dardanelle with Mr X and rtarkRofl
Come on over RCC, we'll welcome you,,but also check your tackle, only one pole allowed,,NO trolling, NO spider rigging, NO joke...OH,,and NO minners...lolQuote:

I love crappie.com you all are nuts! Good stuff
Hey dude. I launched at the park in 6 inches of water Saturday and the wind immediately para sailed me out to the main lake. Tough part was getting back. What I'm saying is, if you lock the gate, you gotta lock em all:biggrinQuote:
