A last minute trip got me on a few fish, worked most of the day getting 11 keepers and 5-6 perch.
These were taken from 50 ft of water and they were all stunned when I put them in the live well, they never recovered. Do Crappie have trouble coming up from depth like some Salt water fish?
Most were still alive just not moving around.
Think they just saw that mugg and died of fright ! :Rofl Where was ya fishin. I made the run up to Crowders bout 8:00. We had 17 keepers out of 23. Dang bass boats was killin us out there. They was 2 of em came together at the blast off. The hitting boat never checked up . The guy that got hit was PIS@$^& . :banghead :mad::mad: Brand new boat. First time in the water. No one hurt .
Should bass guys really be allowed out with normal folks?
I tried to launch at Ebenezer but the line was past the gate house. Put in at Allison and fished just outside of Torrance creek.
How'd the new troller work?
My head is still fighting the bunch from the bass boats. One guy went by me 4 times within 30 minutes, he should have stopped I have a map of the lake
Brett, most of them bass guys thank they own the lakes. If you don't believe it, just ask them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twocents
Scooperdude all fish are like that, I know alot of cat fisher people bring them up slow and watch for them to release bubbles before bring them on up so they can be quickly released without harm.
There is a atmospheric pressure difference for every 15 ft. of water depth.
You got release the air in there bladder. Use a needle or some times I mash the air out them and release them, works most of the time.
and the ramps......i remember when I was in the Army, I was a member of the MBAA (Military Bass Anglers Asoc) and we'd have tournys at lakes with public ramps but it was a rule that all regular joe's not in the tournement were treated with utmost respect and didnt have to wait in line to launch....we would only use one slip if it was crowded...if it meant the ooze off was late, then so be it............the problem we are experiencing here is that clubs having more than 15 boats (if I remember correctly) must get a permit from NCWRC to use the ramps for a tournemnt....so they get several small clubs with less than 15 and have a "joint" tournement to skate the law......NCWRC should make them all use one slip and one slip only or make them use a private ramp and pay out the wahzoo....dang , done got my dander up early on a Sunday morningQuote:

utmost respect is a thing of the past. I've had them blow past me at 45+ mph( between me and another boat both down lining that was a couple hundred feet from me. What happened to the 150ft rule.
Don't get me started on the cause the lack of respect for anybody
They was 94 boats out of Ebenezer Sat. RESPECT? ? NOT.. TheY ran into each other at blast off.. RESPECT ?
Thanks for the report. Friend at work said last 3 weeks there were catching deep crappie on bottom at Buster boy bridge by the channel.
Ck,
thanks, that's the place to be for sure
understand your frustration folks skiers do the same you be on one side of lake and they come from 2 miles just to run a ring around ya
I know every body has a right to do what they want to but I have the right to do what I want to also people -- skiers, fishermen, bass hunters crappie hunters and all should pay a little more attention to what they are doing == would make a bad day turn out a lot better.
a little respect will go a long way.
now after all that congrats on a good mess of fish scooper glad you got on um
Congrats on the catch, as was mentioned when pulling fish from those depths you must release the air in their bladder or they will float.
thanks for mention of letting air out of deep caught fish I had never heard of it
just figured they were dead fish when bladder popped out. I have left a lot of
biting fish that were deep to keep from killing little fish. I'll try that
