From what I read on the MS reg download each angler can set 25 each with no more than 2 hooks and at least 2 feet apart.
We mainly fish Sardis from Holiday to EP. Can't really think of any places to hang from a branch.
Seems like the could get you over the limit if you are dragging bandits then go run yo yos.
Any ideas ?
put them in the trash ?
I've never fished MS except a couple years at camp down at Chicot, so I can't give too much advice. However, the guys on the AR board enjoy fishing with them so much, we started a yo yo TOTD thread. It's kinda like the cranking thread down here, but much shorter. Just in case you want to become a more efficient yo yo fisherman, here's the link.

GOOD WAY TO CATCH A MESS OF CATFISH . :twocents
I grew up fishing yoyos in Grenada lake. There is a dozen of them in my boat right now.
Thanks RCC,
I thought we had some anti social rednecks on the MS board. Your AR people have taken it to a higher level. I encourage all on this board to read the link rcc provided from the AR board.
PICK IT UP MISSISSIPPI ! LMAO
I only come down here and read the MS board when I need new material. Ya'll the crazy ones.:RoflQuote:

Burn them Yoyo's unless u NEED the meat.
Dondon have u been snagging? Those guys are catching fish that have left the lake for GOOD. Have no problem with it and really enjoy doing it a few times a year.
Was fishing around Holiday on Saturday and someone had nailed a pole to the trees to form a cross and hung there yo yo's from it. Didn't look like any of them had fish though.
I can remember a bunch of years ago when ever piece of standing timber on the East end of Sardis had at least one board nailed to it with 2 yoyo' attached. One on either end. And some of the bigger ones would have 2 boards with 2 ea.
They work great. Wouldn't go pulling cranks and run them. Best thing to do is put em out and go jig around them stay within sight and sound of them. It's really fun running them at night now that's exciting.
A guy I worked with use to run them at Enid, Water Valley Landing. That was before a size limit and daily limit was 50.
They used to be all over Sardis but not in quite a few years. All the trees are done rotting away. Lot of trouble handing boards for 15 fish. Piney Point used to be full of them. Guys would camp out and run them all day/night. I recall them starting the motor and running crazy all thru the trees making waves. Claimed it stirred the bait fish up and made em bite better. I don't care for them myself for crappie, but to each their own.
On Enid MOONEY AND BILLY'S CREEKS HAVE GIVEN UP A LOT OF CATFISH WITH YO-YO'S .WHEN THEY(CRAPPIE) MOVE UP YOU LIMIT OUT TO FAST AND FEEL NO THUMP . MAY AS WELL BUY A BOX OF CATFISH FROM" PRIDE OF THE POND .":hatchet:
Yoyo's Jigging Snagging Trolling Jugging Trotline it's all good. That's what's good about Crappie you never get bored with one style. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages at times.
Yep and a crappie caught in any of those manners is WAY better than a slimmer!!!!!!!

When the Mississippi hits 22 ft at Memphis you can have a lot of fun with about 30-40 yo-yos on Midway Lake in Arkansas. some non-stop action with a boatload of catfish . Til 11 or so and when the bugs go in they stop and you can go home.
Same thing on old town when the Arkansas leaf crawlers come out.
Midway is my first experience running yoyo's as a kid. We ran em all night. Got 2 coolers full that weekend. Stayed at a old cabin that floated. Good times. I use a dozen now and with a 15 limit it don't take long. You better stay close to em in the daytime. A lot of folks will take that 2lber off for you.Quote:

mr. greenjeans doesn't like it either.Quote:
