OK. whats up with reports?

I have seen about 4 guys reporting something. Where is everybody else? You girls done gone sissy on me or what? Geeze the crappie combine crapped out on me and this place goes to pot. Bennett is excused. I know his reason but WTH are all you other girls at? I am not doing anything but working my rear off right now with every scrap minute I have working on my new crappie combine. Cutting floor pieces to fit right now. Like a big jig saw puzzle. Will be back before long posting reports. What are you other loser's excuses???? Huh? I might have to see if I can hunt down the chairman of the rules committee to see what he thinks about all this.CF

Cf glad to hear your making progress on the crappie combine, I actually went for about 3.5 hours last Sunday.

I'm boatless at the moment. Bought a new 4Runner and than went to go buy a boat and the wife said wait a minute. Lol. She said pay off the truck than get a boat.

Now that is a worse deal than me. At least I can look at my boat and plan and put my hands on it. I'd be trying to double payments all I could on that 4Runner. That would drive me nuts.CF

That will stink up the frying pan Bennett! Glad you got out and did some damage.

Now Bennett had a good reason not to be out there and He was still able to go. Where the heck is everybody else?!!CF

I have been chasing stripers since beginning of may. Caught 10 keepers since the season came in. Up too 25". And a bunch of small catfish.Haven't even caught a crappie in weeks. If all goes well I'm going back to the river to find some crappie and bass this weekend. I promise to post report so we all got something to read and talk about.

I have been catching a few... But mostly wading the river for trout...

My pics are always rotated funky with this phone lol sorry :)

I caught 1 crappie today. I am so ******* ******

Lol I only caught 6 crappie Thursday fishing brush from the bank... Made for a long day so I'd say the 1 crappie made it even longer

Well ED I hit the N/W river today with my wife and she was my fish counter. I found most fish in 5 ft of water fishing 2 to 3 feet deep usen Bobby Garland baits. I caught and released 48 crappie. Had a good time fishing with wife.

Ok Jim. I'll let this one slide since you only caught 48. Good try. See if you can do better next time.:biggrinCF

I've been fishing, but not for crappie. Been off all week chasing brown bass. Caught 2 river monsters, 31 and 32 inch musky. Hit a new to me river, the New River at Radford, we got 3 stripers and had a for real monster musky jump a buzz bait right beside the boat. At least 4 feet and very fat. But a couple weeks ago I did pull about 30 crappie off one stump at Lake Conner.

Like GeneC said, we catchin over 100 a day at Buggs fishin the over 400 brush piles I know of there. Doin a lot better now that all the "real" crappie fishermen have hung up their long rods till next "Crappie Season" LOL! I've been crappie fishin a couple days a wk, cat fishin bout once a wk, LMB fishin a couple days a wk, gettin ready to go after the Walleye next wk, spooled up my rods with new line an tied up some crawler rigs, an prolly be chasin some big Bluegill an ShellCracker round this Full Moon, flyroddin fro the 'Gills an worms on the bottom for the Crackers...so many fish, so little time...

No fishing for me been hiking the Appalachian Trail. Home for a break may get to fish??

I graduated from radford university mountain man... There are some huge smallies and musky around the new river in the radford area... Hope you get back out there and get that big one! Where are you hiking the AT at flatwater? Where I have been trout fishing is damascus, va and they just had the annual trail days up there.

VaCrappieMan, I started March, 9 in Georgia, 1,000 miles later went through Harpers Ferry WVa.

Very cool... I've hiked it around mt Rogers and such really beautiful... Did you take a pack rod for some trout for dinner?

lol! i went week ago saturday and never got around to posting- went yesterday too- im posting results today......

Hey Ed the last report I gave I think I had 2 people give comments so I figured why bother. Most reports are so tight lipped now days and everybody thinks people are following them around. As long as I have been posting I try to give a detailed report. heck If someone ask I tell them where I find the fish. I just don,t know why all the tight lips. I feel this was the best site on the web. I guess times are a changing. Well ED when you get the combine ready let me know and you still have a invite to my brothers anytime.

Here's one from last week.

Went to DR Sunday for a few hours. Trolled a vatiety of jig colors, chartruese body with orange head seemed to be the choice. Nothing big or any numbers. Just nice to get out since work has exploded. Praying for winter to hurry up and get back.

It is nice to see some reports. I've been after the green carp recently. I need to get out and hit up the crappie and shellcracker soon. Jim's report has me wanting to hit the NW river with a bag full of jigs.

I think I'm done crappie fishing til fall. Also waiting on the cool weather to start back crappie fishing.

Nice looking toothly critter there. Yeah I agree everyone (except me) should stop fishing for crappie till the fall.

Been working 7-12's down in Alabama...am back home now and ready to fill the cooler. Will post reports from Burnt Mills in the very near future.

Caught some of these last week too. About 200 to 20 inches. This was one of the biggest.

Thanks Jim. Will let you know. I will take you up on that invite to that legendary pond of your brothers!CF

Dang, Ed. Someone has to go to the beach and hold-off the waves...if they didn't, the waves would roll right over us. Surf or fish...I'm confused...

Not just the waves, the dang sharks!

I just want to know how to get rid of the blackfish. They ruined my day yesterday; probably hooked 30 to 40, right over the crappie on brush piles.
