New guy from Manhattan

Hello everyone, I just joined this site last night. Looks like a great place to learn a ton and meet some knowledgable people! I currently go to Kansas State University, and live just west of Manhattan. My true passion is bowhunting but the crappie bug bit me pretty hard last year, so I am trying to learn as much as I can to increase my success. I have always wanted to fish from a boat, but I am stuck on the bank since I cant afford a boat with my college money situation. I usually did pretty well fishing Pot. Lake 1 last year, catching 20 or so at a time (just on minnows under a slip bobber).

I'm looking forward to picking everyone's brains, and also getting to know people from around the area!

Very cool to have u join our group of crappie fishers, starting to pick up more and more people from that area around Manhattan and Junction City. Welcom aboard! DK

Welcome, It's a good school with some great fishing close by. Iv'e got a daughter also attending there. Kinda nice to get together ay Miford or Tuttle creek when we get the chance. Great way to de-stress from finals. Again welcome and enjoy!

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys.

JD- what's your daughters major? My major is food science, and my dad actually teaches a food science class at KSU. Could be an off chance I might know her, but odds aren't good haha

Hey iHunt

My buddy and I are always looking for some more people to fish with from the forum. We usually rip up the lakes surrounding Manhattan once it gets warmer. I've got a small two man bass boat but it gets me off the bank, you'd be welcome to join. This semester is more laxed for me, and I've got some vacation time piled up around spring from work.

Welcome from far eastern Kansas, if we have a Kansas CDC get togeather this year join in the fun there usally a boat seat somewhere.

That sounds awesome. Most of my fishing will be during the weekends because of school and work, but I'm all for hitting the water sometime. Don't expect me to contribute much towards where to fish though, I have never even fished Tuttle or Milford haha. I have Pott 1 pretty well figured out though!

When is the get together roughly? I usually try to go to the bowhunting.com get together every summer in northern Illinois, usually the first week of June or so. The CDC get together sounds like a fun time.

Welcome aboard.:welcome

Welcome Ihunt we some of you young whippersnappers on here to keep us aging 'baby-boomers" on our toes :cheers2:welcome

Welcome!

If some of these little lakes don't get some serious rain this Spring, you will not be at a disadvantage being without a boat. I imagine you probably had pretty decent access all around most lakes last year with the drought and low water.

:welcome Glad you are here!!! <*)}}}><

She is taking interior design. Agreed it's a big campus not likely you would know her. She is living off campus also. My eldest graduated from their Psych program. They really do have an excellent curriculum. I fish a pontoon and when we get up there it turns into more of a cruiser than a fisher but i troll all day long just great to be together and on the water. I get my fishing in early am and nite stalking the rest of theday we just troll around and pick up whatever happens to be hitting at the time. Normally have an empty spot for the early am shot if we get up there. (Everyone else thinks that is still sleep time).

Nothing like some quality father daughter time on the water, sounds like you guys have a blast. And yeah, not a lot of people like getting up too early these days. I have no problem getting up early, my alarm is almost always set at 4:00 a.m. during hunting season!

Ah the good old college days! Enjoy them while you can. A good friend of mine is the head of the KSU DU group and he took full advantage this year. Welcome aboard and good luck out there.

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome everybody, I really enjoy browsing on this site. Hopefully I can make it to the CDC get together and meet some of you folks.
