Love this page

I may have posted something like this already. But I’ll say it again. There’s a lake down here called Forrest Ingram lake. I was trying to find it on google maps. I ran across another place called Forrest Ingram dam. It’s about 15 minutes from me. I asked several people around and no one knew anything about it. So I went to **** county kayak page and asked for info. One guy said I’ve been told there’s no fish there. Another guy said don’t get caught there at dark. Then the moderator sent me a message and said don’t ever ask for information on here again. We fish tournaments and people start asking for put in spots and then they want to know what we are catching them on. We just don’t do that. I told him don’t worry I’m off his page and will never ask anything else. So thanks to everyone here for being so helpful. I’ve never asked anyone on here anything that hasn’t been willing to help. I won’t try and mention everyone because I’ve got help from several. But there are two that have been awesome and helped me to find places and really grow as a fisherman. I’ve got a long way to go but DitchBasser and catchNgrease are awesome folks who have always been there to help and answered every stupid question I’ve had without making me feel stupid. Thanks to everyone on here and let’s all keep helping each other instead of being selfish butts.

Kayakers you say…hmmmmmm. Maybe they don’t want anyone else fishing there so they can keep the little secret going. I would just have to show up and see for myself.

We try not to be like your typical online forum. No bullies here, no making fun of repeated questions; or spelling allowed. Only "100% family friendly" posting. This is how other online forums should be run. Heck, its how life should be run, right! Life's too short, why make enemies when you can make friends. Thank you for your feedback.

Crappie.com rocks with the best people ever. I check it out all the time!

The friendliest group of fishing folk anywhere on the internet

Great folks here !
I have made some great friends from C.C

This rookie sure appreciates it, that’s for sure!

I have a buddy with a 17ft flat bottom with a tunnel hull that went there pretty often. He caught the hound out of some bass, not sure that he ever crappie fished it though. Seems like they put it right off 278 if i remember right.

I still remember the day I ran into to a friend that I met at work in 1994. We got layed off in 2002. We used to play golf together and things of the like. I ran into him at Lowe's maybe 5 or 6 years ago and mentioned that I had started back crappie fishing. He said hey you need to check out this website/forum called Crappie.com. I barely even knew how to navigate the www. This fella was ALEXnAVA.
I am glad to be a member and grateful for the friends I have made here. I am always willing to help and contribute when I can but I gotta say I have received many times what I have gave.

And stay off them other dirty fishing websites DK....lol

Friendly, polite, informative and clean. Thank you Slab.

Love this site and all of the help I have received over the years. Only problem I have is the amount of guest on this board who never contribute anything to the forum. I have learned a lot over the last several years and become a better fisherman but it bothers me all the guest every day that add nothing. Would love to see members only to access this board. This might stir the pot but you can't bad mouth me as long as you stay a guest.

You have 466 posts in 16 years and 2 months. Please don't throw rocks.

Not throwing rocks. I don't have the time working to stay on computer a lot. At least I have tried to contribute something from time to time to help others. I am not a great fisherman is why I don't post more than I do. Mods if this post is out of line please delete. 466 posts is a long way from zero as a guest.

Stop it. We’re supposed to be friendly no mater how much anyone posts. And as far as the high number of guests/visitors, many of them are bots, so I would not even look at those numbers. I’ve been tempted to turn those numbers off but I haven’t yet.

That's why I was happy put the Crappie.com sticker on my boat!

The reason some of us don’t post a lot is that we don’t get to fish as much as we would like to. Due to medical reasons I can’t go fishing by myself anymore and a lot of my fishing partners are no longer able to go. My best fishing partner which is my wife is still teaching so that limits our fishing time. I enjoy getting on this site usually daily and reading what is going on and no I don’t always sign in. In my opinion this is the best fishing website there is. A big THANK YOU to Slab and the Moderators for controlling what goes on and keeping it family friendly.

I really enjoy this forum. I don’t get to fish as much as I would like (and certainly catch less than I would like!), but I learn a bit here and enjoy reading about others who do better than me.

Always been a great site and a supreme group of fishermen. I can't speak for others, but I don't look at the fish as being mine. I'm just blessed to catch a few and like sharing what I can for the others that don't get out every weekend. I know that the way I fish is outside the norm, but I took the time to figure out how to catch a few without anyone telling me what wasn't possible. It seems I found them much shallower and often in much warmer water than any fishing article said was possible. I thought I'd share a few things that worked for me and hoped to pick up a few tips from others.

Please, no. The last thing this board needs is another "members only" subforum. Keep everything free and open and always remember:

Got some freainds for life on here. I've always been willing to help even on the water teaching. Even had some teaching me a few things.

There's always going to be people looking for free information, don't let that bother you. CDC is a great site and the only social media I use. Remember someone had to show you how to get started, pay it forward.

I’m a moderator on **** Kayak anglers page, I’m also SM that Damion refers to.

We are a good group when you get to know us , but we have had to add some rules due to trolls, and people swarming lakes not much bigger than a farm pond, driving 100+ miles to fish them.

As far as the person who said not to fish after dark, we had a guy claiming Bigfoot ran him off the lake one night. It’s more of a running joke from about 2 years ago now more than anything.

I really shouldn’t have mentioned a group name. Just wasn’t thinking. And this was more to thank and give credit to everyone on here than to give another site a bad name. I do apologize for that. Slab can you take this down?

I’d say leave it up, just edit the first post, it is the friendliest fishing forum on the Internet.

I wish our Facebook group could be that way, but it can’t because it’s on Facebook.

Thanks Ditch!

We have met in person a few times, and you know my dad also, think his user name is flint creek.

even being so sweet and saying so much nice stuff about here aint gunna get you coordinates to my piles ,,,,just saying :Rofl
and just kidding as well :crazy:

As example of how great this place is....head over to the Panfish, breama, brim page....a fella asked for recommendations for a lightweight rod....in two days that fella got more choices than you could shake a fishing stick at.

After contemplating the role here of members versus guests...I decided to up my status to supporter...I definitely visit this place more than my gym and a got a membership that too.
