Got a chance to take my dad cranking, but since my big boat with my terrova is in the shop. I had to modify my modified Gheenoe to use my rod holders. We picked up 8 or 9 nice crappie in an hour before my battery died. Tried trolling some with the big motor, but it's loud and spooks the fish no deeper than they are. I manned the trolling motor while my 82 year old dad and my son in law caught the fish. Here's me with my dad.Attachment 206378
Nice fish. Good times sounds like
Way to improvise!!! Great catch! That is a sweet setup in the boat!
Adapt and conquer, glad you got to spend some time with your dad. I bet he enjoyed the trip.
Sounds like a good time. Nice fish
Good cranking!!!
very nice, nothing like spending time with dad.
With all this cranking reports looks like I'm gonna have to brake down and buy some cranks sounds like a lot of fun! Congrats on some nice fish!

You need to make! There is no more of a relaxing way to fish. Set out the cranks, tuck under the Bimini top, turn on the radio, side on cold beverage and hang out with friends while watching the fish graph looking for fish and brushpiles! And you are trolling so fast, when a fish gets on he stays hung so no rush getting to him. Fish ON!!!! Somebody get him! Can fish all day and when ya get home you feel like u been in your recliner on a nice sunday afteroon all day! Dont get any better then that!Quote:

Just kiddin, don't shoot me!
I think the government should subsidize crappie fishing. Maybe I could get some of my money back. I bet you they're subsidizing the hybrid fishing industry. Here it is Monday morning and I'm starting the week off hacked off. Thanks Chris.:banghead just kiddin!Quote:
