Starting to get the hang of it, maybe

I've been trying to catch these Lake Guntersville crappie every spare chance I get. I have sworn off bridges, I just can't handle the noise. I'm not set up to spider rig yet so I've been trying to find fish and catch them one pole at a time. LOL I am far from the caliber of crappie fisherman that most of you guys are, but I'm learning a little, every time I go. I got to spend a few hours relaxing with my son yesterday afternoon. There was more boat traffic than I thought there would be with the wind the way it was, but we did manage to catch 7 good crappie to keep, and my son landed a whopper yellow perch. We caught a few under 10" that we threw back. If I could find crappie as easily as I apparently can find yellow bass, I'd be a force to be reckoned with. :)

I'm looking forward to spring camp and hope I can learn some tricks and tactics from you spider rig, push, pull, long lining guys. I have trouble keeping one jig not hung up, I can't imagine how I'll come out using 8. LOL

Thanks guys. This is the first time my son and I have been able to fish out of the "new" boat. He was out of town last week on a school trip and then spring break at the FL grandparents.

ford man, the new/old boat is doing great. Raising the motor one hole helped the porpoising a bunch and I have a stainless prop on the way and hope that takes the rest of it out. She rides like a dream in rougher water than I would have even gone out in before in the Tracker that I had. I've still got some odds and ends to do, make a couple boxes for the added compartments and things like that, but those can wait til mid summer. We've got crappie to catch. LOL

Cline, there were several bass boats running around, but there were also a few crappie boats that I saw and talked with. Two from TN. One local. I also saw a man and woman in one of those little 10' plastic pond boats, run 2-3 miles from the boat ramp they put in at, in the wind, with rain and possible T'storms in the forecast. I've never seen one of those boats with an outboard mounted to it, but they had one on this one. There is NO WAY that I'd have the guts to ride that boat across the lake like they did. Neither one of them had a life jacket on either.

Great report. Thanks
