Got to the Hill this morning and started fishing around 8. At 10 I was culling. Caught 70-80 and at times had 4 fish on at one time. THE HILL IS ON FIRE!!!!! Here are some pics of the 30 I kept. All the fish were 13+ inches and a few pushing 15 inches. The average weight is just under 1 and a half pounds. Stopped fishing around 12:30 and was back at the house just after 3.

Good thing you're not fishing the tournament this Saturday. Mountain Man wouldn't have a chance. Great fish! When you gonna let me ride shotgun???
GREAT JOB SPIDER....rumor has it Quick is on the highway heading back to Georgia :yikes
All I can say is shoulda, woulda, coulda. Know what I mean? That is a great mess of fish. We were doing okay until the wind nearly blew us off the lake. The average size was much better than those we caught last week.
Hey bigfish. As far as you riding shotgun, you will have to take that up with the crime dawg.:Rofl
Glad ya'll got on some bigger fish Hotwater. We will get together again.
Quick on his way north? The crappie are swimming for the timber to hide.:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
what depth did you catch them? Trolling or are they on the banks now?
Caught them in 6-20 ft of water fishing 5-6 ft deep. They were everywhere. I was spida-rollin.
Not everywhere at least not in Crescent:Rofl
DNR closed Clarks Hill until further notice do to overfishing. Stated that they are waiting until the Fulton Family goes again. Great catch, wish I could have been with you but work calls.
I heard Crescent use to be a great lake until a certain person moved down there. Now the lake has been fished out.:biggrin
Nice haul Doug. When I figure that SpidaRollin out I'll be looking for a new knife.
Easy now BigFish..... we will see about that. Hahahahha
Good to hear from you Mtnman. It's been awhile.
I'm telling you Dryzdale, my goal is to convert all you longliners, dock shooters, and dropshoters over to the darkside of spida-rollin. I am letting the results speak for themselves.:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
:notworthyRaise your right hand
You got my attention! Can you explain to me just what spida-rollin is, or is it classified information?:donoQuote:

If I run over a school of fish, I can turn around on a dime because I know how deep my jigs are. Long lining you have to make a wide turn. I can go in any cove and fish it at a long lining speed. If the fish are biting slow, guess what, I can slow down to .1 or even stop, because I know how deep my jigs are. I feel the way I fish is a win win situation. Hope this will help you understand it better.
Nixon he left off the part about needing to have a crime dog...dogy sniffs the air and scratches on a large map showing Spider where to fish I've seen him he's a beast:RoflQuote:

Nice Job Doug !! Sorry i haven't had a chance to hook up with you this year but this new job is kicking my tail. Keep up the fine work!!
Ok, so tell me about your rod set up. I actually use a variation of this a lot when I longline. My standard setup for longlineing is 14', 12' 10' out each side and 7' and 5.5' angled out the back. One day I found myself wanting to push jigs and just had these rods in the boat, So I rigged for that. The next time I went I wanted to longline and was by myself. After re rigging 4 of the rods I just plain got lazy and dropped the 10' over the side rigged just like they were. They caught just as many fish as the longlines did. I use that a lot now.Quote:

My main fishing partner is a 12 yr old, so I need good rod management skills.LOL
I fish 12 B n M rods that are 16' long out the front. I have been fishing this way for the past 4-5yrs and NEVER NEVER broken a rod. Yes, you do have to pay attention when you go to a new area. That is when good electronics is a plus. In some areas I fish, I may have 25+ waypoints marking snags. Very seldom do I run 1+ mph, but I can if I need to. Most of the time I run .8. If you look at the tread "Boat pics" on this forum you can see my set up. Those are 12' poles in that pic. Since then I have graduated to 16'ers.
