Thought I would try this. I figure it will keep a lb or 2 of jigs from drying out for a month or so. No guarantee on this fix, but if it doesn't work for my jigs, I guess I will try to use it for something else. Now on to harbor freight to get some wheels for my new jig box. Attachment 123876
Wow!!! That'll work a LOT better than the Plano I have been using.

Ok, now for the secret that makes my minnows so special. I have done this for years and no doubt at the very least it should be posted in the moderated forum, but no, I will share with all. The secret....mini-minner condos. In all of my long term minner containers, I drop a mini-minner condo and I use food as a learning stimulus to train my minnows to fish. Each day when I feed my minners, I drop the food down into the middle of the mini-minner condo here after known as a MMC just to save bandwidth. By feeding in the middle of the MMC I am therefore conditioning my minners to fish. When your untrained minnows hit the water at the lake, they will just swim around like dumb fish, while my trained minners after hitting the water will glance around and then head for the nearest crappie condo since they have been trained to do so by the everyday feed in the MMC. My trained minners while thinking they are to be fed in the lake crappie condo will actually be placing themselves into stiking range of the biggun no doubt hiding within the condo limbs. After me dragging out slab after slab and you catching nothing with your dumb minnows, you will ask me to switch ends of the boat which I will do. The minners will then again be dunked into the lake and your dumb minners will be out bottle necking around in the open water while my trained minners will again look around, see the crappie condo a boat length away and thinking it is a MMC will swim the length of the boat into the condo and I will catch another slab. You will just shake your head in amazement. Attachment 123896
See. I knew there was something I was doing wrong! :Doh:
Makes perfic cents to me. Whar can I git me one'em MMCs?
RCC, you are a genius! You really should put all of your crappie wisdom on a website and sell access to it.
The great minnow trainer.....
he shouldn't be out free walking round in public.
You should start selling them. You could make a fortune.:Rofl
Are you suggesting a padded room and one of those funny white jackets?Quote:

Y'all play nice with RCC, he has thin skin to go with his trained minners.
That's what I'm talking about. Thanks. Take that all ya'll mean talking folks. I got trained minners, thin skin, and connections to the higher ups.:RoflQuote:

Man...that kinda back fired. I hollered at creekslick cause I figured he would tell me to go jump in a lake. Instead he sided with me in an odd sort of way. I thought I had run everyone off.:biggrin Glad you're back Charles. Actually thick skin works some better and you're right, this crappie fishing is getting too advanced. It's a wonder grampaw kept coming back time after time with boat loads of fish without the proper high tech equipment and trained minners. If they woulda had the stuff we have today, we'd be golfing cause fish would be extinct.
I think RCC got to close to the Nuclear Reactor at Dardanelle...which has the tendancy to put your brain on Crappie OverLoad. Seek treatment fast RCC. HAHA!!!
I have learned 2 things from this thread.
1. I have some some marketable ideas, but production may be limited due to the amount of sharp tools they would allow me to used while in certain facilities.
2. Sometimes my mouth is in gear before my brain and this often leads to foot in mouth or sock in teeth.:Doh:
RCC you're just a man ahead of his time. Our grandkids will think trained minnows are old school!
I for one love your humor. We are all crazy and proud of it so just keep posting and thinking later.
RCC is smarter than he lets on. His minnows, however, are as dumb as a box of rocks! :biggrin
I've been laughing so hard I've got tears in my eyes. Besides, my wife is pondering on one of those fashionable jackets for me if I keep reading her these posts! :Rofl
I use something similar, but I put slicks in mine, no minners here (most times)
Instead of an aquarium pump, I use a bilge pump connected to a piece of hose that is connected to a livewell spray nozzle in the cooler, it moves ALOT of water, and sprays the water enough to keep 80 3" slicks alove of r 2-3 days. Just hook it up to your battery in your boat. All pieces available at Wally-World or Academy for under $25
