Some Random Things I've Learned Since Joining Crappie.com

1. Even though you have a dozen large Planos full of jig bodies, you need more


2. Your hip pocket will draw up if you click on Donnie's CrappieLogic Gnats link


3. Although you currently own 2 boats dedicated to crappie chasin', you also need a kayak


4. Whoever Sam Heaton is/was...he's got nice rods


5. There are not enough crappie fishing videos being produced


6. CrappiePappy is a very detail-oriented solid crappie guy


7. A Cane Pole is a more technologically advanced piece of scientific principles than one would think


8. Usually, those with the latest, largest hi-resolution electronics tend to have larger waistlines


9. Road Runners don't necessarily have feathers


10. What a gewber looks like and where he most likely can be spotted. Also, there seem to be no female gewbers which begs the question...how do they reproduce?

Here are two gewbers.......Attachment 225968

I also learned that a great bunch of people frequent this sight and some become a second family.

By the time you reach a 1000 post you will have a top 25 instead of a top ten . :cheers2

Mostly I just sit over here in the corner and listen, Eagle 1...
someday I might get to 1000 but I ain't holding my breath.
At my age I'd have to get busy.

:ThumbsUp

Too funny!

:Rofl good stuff all the way through

Boy Howdy there's a lot of stuff to learn on here fer sure and certain :Doh:

Good Stuff. Love it!

i have to say this .....being from all walks of life here in the good ole usa
this forum is flat out full of random things to learn for sure
from cane poles to st croix
from john boats to cabin cruisers
from super shallow to super deep
its ALL right here :cheers2

Good stuff

Don't forget, its Specks fault

Great thread.

I lernt that Slab is an awe ri'ht guy. Little goofy, but awe ri'ht. :Rofl

I only been around here fer 2 years now but if Slab's responsible for bringing this CC to my interwebs,
he's responsible for takin up so much of my time now in my golden/grey years.
My fellow Kentuckian CrappiePappy shares blame too as he's the well-articulated slabber that turned me on to this place.

I came here for the crappie...I hang around because of the gewbers.
That sounds quotable actually.

You can learn a lot on this site.

But the truth is I learned the most important fishing tactic of my life without any help from anybody and that's rare cause usually I can't figure out nothing.

I just drive by the guys houses who know how to fish and see if their boat is gone. Then I have my wife text their wife and ask where they went fishing. Then I stop by the tackle shop and ask what they been buying.Then when I get to the lake I just find them from a distance and watch them fish with my binoculars.Then mark the spots.

I use to just pull up to them on the lake and ask em how they doing and what you using.But they would just snarl and tell me some hoohoo and pull up and leave.

Sometimes they catch on and you have to find another family member or friend that knows where and how they been fishing and brib them.

/\ LOL...I get the feelin you ain't joshin!

You can NEVER have enough crappie crank baits. Most Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas would shrink in shame if they saw my collection.

MOST IMPORTANT... Be sure to leave this advice in the possession of a trusted friend who will probably out-live you---------------Never let your wife or family sell your fishing gear for what YOU TOLD HER/THEM you paid for it!

AMEN

I'd like to add:

1.) Whatever one person tells ya, another person will counter with the completely opposite view/technique/recommendation. Chances are, They are BOTH correct !
