Hello I am new to the Forums i live in Titusville Florida ..
i got a 85 Champion Bass boat a few months ago and now i have the fever
most of my friends either dont fish or to busy .. I need to find me a fishing buddy or 2 lol ..Not sure how to go about it ..
Best thing to do is stay active on the forum and soon as they have a Crappiefest, go to it. Great bunch of guys on here from all states. You may also can tag up with some who are going to a common lake to fish.
We usually have a "who is going where" thread each week on our SC board and folks chime in on their plans.
Good Luck and welcome to the forum.
SeaRay
Slabfests are the best way to meet other fishermen in your area.
SOunds like a lot of fun .. I cant drive but hopefully i can make it to one soon..
I see your name is Searay i used to build SeaRay boats 50 to 68 footers worked there for about 6 years before i got hurt ..
Other option has alot of side effects......... You could marry one!!!
Well She does go fishing with me . but not as much as id like to go ..Quote:

Sim;
I haven't been fishing lately, got a couple folks that want to go, when I get my calender cleared, I'll shoot ya a PM ...........
Hey Sim,
I fish alot by myself also as both boys are grown and moved. Where and what are you looking to fish for? I live here in Cocoa and mainly fish Poinsett and Winder but would like to fish some lakes up your way, PM me and we can hook up somewhere. Just to let you know I mostly bass fish but have been trying my luck crappie fishing some lately, not doing so great like most of pro's here but have picked up few. Give me a shout and we can try our luck.
Hi Rock;
I been meaning to get back to Poinsett, what's the report down that way lately ?????
I went across the river this morning, it's down to within the banks = Middle River should be good for jiggin .........
Hey Phantom,
Its well within the banks now as the water level is dropping fast, I've fished the last couple weeks down in Washington with very limited success, caught a few on the west shoreline in some wood that is there casting a white spinner. The last time I fished Poinsett was about 3 weeks ago and did miserably, I wasn't jigging but was trolling in Winder and the deep areas coming back in middle river, just a few real small ones. The people I talked with wasn't even doing that good. I was doing pretty well (at least for me) out in the lake but when we got that warm spell and the water started dropping I quit getting them. I was hoping to get out to middle river this weekend and will let you know how it goes. I've never jigged for crappie, what would be the best setup and what kind of river structure would they relate to at this point. I kinda of started giving up on the crappie and was going back to bass fishing but was going to give it another shot this weekend. Wish me luck, as I certainly need it, LOL. See Ya
Hey i will PM you i fish for anything lol .But i have mostly bass fished same as you ive tried to catch some Crappie but didnt do to well yet lol ..

Use anything with/chartueuse (+/-) minnows, fish right up next to the bank 6 inches downward to 6 feet, just keep it off bottom, jig around ......
Use trolling motor = work your way on down the bank, you'll pick one up here and there = if ya get one, try the same spot again, etc .....
Just keep workin your way on down the bank. best is where there's a steep drop off, but start shallow, work it (jig) on down deeper ............
(don't tell anybody I told ya this) .........
Thanks, I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes......... Your secret is save with me! (hope no one sees this).........
RockNemo did you get the PM i sent not sure if i did it right ,,
If you ever around Talquin I will take you.
Yea I got it fine, I'll get back with you
No fair sending secret messages ! ! ! ! ! !
We already started our own secret-society private message board, but to qualify you have to suck at catching crappie, so that would leave you out, Sorry :)
On the easternshore line of Poinsett, about 1.5 miles from the launch try the arm that extends back. Gets pretty shallow in their so proceed with caution.
