Howdy Folks, Newbie Here - -

Just checkin' in for the first time. Don't guess I know anyone here tho I've talked to Creekslick on the teardrop forum. Been crappie fishin' most all my life (I'm 69) but laid off the last 3-4yrs due to family obligations, boat troubles & such. Bought a new Tracker boat last spring but with the high water :rolleyes: & a couple of health episodes I only put it in the water 3 times. Motor ain't even broke in yet :( . Mostly fish DeGray altho I have a few years back fished Mellwood, Grampus, Grand, & a couple of small no-name lakes in White River NWR. Just got through installing a bow depth finder w/trolling motor transducer on my boat today so as soon as I can get a couple of medical/dental appts out of the way I plan on spendin' a 'whole buncha' time on the water. Home is in Benton (Saline County) so I'm within a couple of hours of most of the state's crappie waters. Sure enjoy all the posts & fishin' reports here. Hope to see some of y'all on the water :D

Welcome to the forum!! This is the place to get you caught up on the crappie action and get reports. I have learned a lot of fishin tips and met some Great folks on here! Glad to have you aboard from a little further west in Arkansas! ;)

Welcome to Crappie.com!!:)

Welcome aboard friend.

I hope you get to use that boat a lot this year. I'm also gonna start counting on you to find me them crappie, since you live close by. Maybe you can fill me in on how and where to find them.

Welcome to the forum from NE Arkansas!

Welcome to Crappie.com Nobody, look forward to your input with reports and pictures. I see you've fished in southeast Ark., it's turning on really good now down here. Connerly bayou at Chicot is pretty hot now, as well as Grand and others. Come on down if you get a chance.

Slipcork Are La Scala's worth a hoot?? I love the cornerhorns but don't have a room in which to put them.

Welcome aboard! You may be a "Nobody" now, but you will soon be a "Somebody" :)

Welcome to the boards. Glad to see someone else on here that frequents Degray. Doesn't seem like there's many on here that do.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of great folks here. We look forward to your posts and reports.

Yea. For 3000 ea they better be good. They really are. Just no one these days has room for them. I have a set of K-horns in my room room at the store. They are killer. And just $8000 a pair. Don't sell many of them. Big thing now is in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.

Come on down and I'll hook you up with a set.


Thanks,

Welcome Nobody

Sorry to hear you are unemployed.............me too:)

PS
The coffee pot is on

Welcome to the crappie.com family from Ward, AR!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! It's always nice to have additional input from a fella that fishes DeGray.

I sure do hope you get to wear that new boat out this Spring and that your health issues are behind you!

I grew up in Benton and moved to Hot Springs 14 years ago. I'm now retired and enjoy every bit of it. I have not fished DeGray in a long time but will have to venture down to Point Cedar (15 miles from me) sometime soon.

Welcome again to the forum.

Got the La scalas along with some cornwalls and some Heresys, Almost bought a nice pair of cornerhorns last night. Fought the urge since my La scalas are set up in my garage and I only use them about every couple of weeks. Cornwalls are a pretty good compromise. the Heresys would be enough for most folks. Still jonesin' for those hoens. last night was my best chance for a nice pair but I blew it. Want the horns and a single Belle for a center to make a fair surround sound system.

Welcome, sounds like your ready to getem, looking forward to hearing from ya. CP

Thanks for the kind words folks, I appreciate it. Wuz plannin' to get the boat out this weekend but I'm kinda a 'wuss' when it comes to cold weather (fishin' or otherwise :rolleyes: ). Have never liked cold weather even thru tours in North Dakota, Alaska, & Thule, Greenland when I was in the Air Force, but I could handle it. Now when the temps drop below 50* or so it just 'hurts' too much. I see the daffodils, forsythia, & bradford pears are bloomin' so it won't be long now 'til the pollen starts covering the water in the little coves at DeGray. That's usually a good sign that the crappie are goin' shallow there. I really like fishin' DeGray when the dogwoods are bloomin' in th' woods'n hills around the lake. I've caught crappie there year 'round but spring just makes it more fun (for me anyway ;) ). Hopefully I'll be able to get out next week & maybe have a few pix to post.

Welcome aboard from Ga. With all those years of experience I know you will be willing to share stories and wisdom. Good stories and help is always appreciated.,
