First time spider rigging

Finally broke down and got all the stuff to set up my boat for spider rigging, went out Sunday with the wife and ended up keeping 2 limits. To say the least I am hooked on crappie fishing now. It was a very fast paced trip and the wife had a blast as well. With that being said I still don't think it beats feeling the thump with my pole buried up in a brush pile. But if it keeps the wife happy and wanting to go then I guess I'll have to keep doing it. She is already upset that I'm taking someone else this weekend instead of her. :biggrin

Nice mess! Looks the lake you were fishing was smooth as glass. Nice scenery too. What kind of rods and reels are those?

Rods are 14 ft southern crappie rods and reels are the crappie maxx reels from bass pro. So far I love this set up. These rods are tuff, I slung a 3.5 lb bass in the boat and several monster white bass.

I wish I could say yes, but no it wasn't me.

Also there is no way I could have gotten this technique down so fast without all the great people on this forum providing all this great knowledge!

I just got mind rigged out haven't been yet

Great catch, congrats!

It's always nice to see someone using a technique for the first time. Then getting a mess of fish with it. Great job!

Way to go razorback. Looks like yall put the hurt on em congrats

If that's the lake I think it is you picked the right one for your first go at it! Great pictures sir👍

Its too late to turn back now! What ever you do don't buy any crainkbaits and drag em out the back at 2 mph!

Nice fish!

Anyway great catch. Your hooked now.

Great job. Looks like you set yourself up right the first time. Glad your wife got in to them with you, that's about as much fun as getting into them yourself. I'm trying to get my wife to go with me but this weekend but if she perceives that she might get cold in any manner then she's out. WTG

awesome congrats

Nice fish. Thanks for posting
