I'm a new member and love crappie fishing. We start catching a few here in late Feb in a foot or so of water.
They usually start at the smaller (5-7acre) lakes and soon move to the larger (300acre) lake. Usuall jigs work best with a long stiff pole. Then we go to minnows and road runners . Look forward to learning more about catching the big slabs.

Welcome to the site.

Welcome.
Welcome from, NorthEast MS.
He said his home lake is Canebrake in his profile, so he must be from the Hattiesburg area. Canebrake is a very nice, lake/golf subdivision in the Oak Grove area of Hattiesburg, one of the most upscale areas in the state. So look out Rducks, you got some competition! (can't hide money, you know) Anyhow.... welcome to the MS boards! Their are a lot of good people and advice here, most of the folks are from the North MS area where the big 4 are located and we have a few from the Jackson metro area. I happen to live between them and travel to South MS regularly. I'm sure you know already, it's best to have a sense of humor cause we keep the pot stirred.Quote:

Sorry your thread got hi-jacked, it happens. As far as getting better, the more you go the more you learn. Live bait is king during the winter months. Are you an Elks Club member? I've got some buddies who are and they have a fine lake at their lodge in your area. Do you own a boat? if so, do you troll or single pole?Quote:

I like to drag a couple of poles with minnows and cast road runners with my light weight spinning rig. That way I can cover a lot of water. Weather bad last few weeks. Not much fishing lately.
Try pushing minnows next time. Put a 1/2 or 5/8 oz bell weight on the bottom and two hooks above it spaced about a foot apart. This works very well sliding up and down ledges or bumping and dragging over old logs and thru weed mats. Be carefully to stay out of your trolling motor, this is why many of us use long 14'-16' poles.
Appreciate your advice. Never too old to learn how to be a better fisherman. My dad use to take us fishing a lot growing up in south Alabama. He always took the pot and the grease to cook'um up after they were caught. He took along 3-4 lbs of bacon to season the grease with. When we didn't catch a lot of fish ...we had bacon sandwitches. Ummie!
Welcome from west Michigan and a BIG fan of y'all down there. Some great folk and good fishin' for sure. Feesh is right 'bout the pot stirrin' so just roll with it. Hope to see ya at one of those great camps y'all throw down there.
Welcome to the forum and your doing a great job. Some people just hunt something to cause trouble. :deadhorse Jump in and hope to see lots of post from you.Quote:
