I was on the dock and I noticed they weren't catching anything.They asked me how I was managing to catch four or five crappie in a half hour and I said "I've been doing this since I was a child"- "A fishfinder isn't going to help you when you don't know what the hell you're doing"I said "Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1151773702924487542006-07-01T12:06:00.000-05:002007-04-01T04:59:58.776-05:00Frying Crappie!Like those big Fish Dinners?You know, the kind that you see on TV. They have enticing commercials advertising onion rings, fries, catfish, and hush puppies for only $99 down $99 a month for the next twelve years! You know how inexpensive onions are. How about potatoes?Is it the batter or special oil they use that make each meal cost an arm and a leg? NO! They are just greedy.

"What do you mean?" You say? "Just go buy some "Night Crawlers" from the local bait store." You say?You might actually want to give it some thought. "Night Crawlers", or "Canadian Night Crawlers" are BIG, FAT, JUICY, worms. They are from Canada(Naturally.)

He caught four pretty nice Crappie the first time, and one big one the second. If he/we had gone more often or stayed longer then he/we surley would catch many more. We usually use cheap Crappie jigs. We make sure we get the ones with small hooks so that it is easier to keep 'em hooked. If the weather gets better then we would Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1143262349879067422006-03-24T22:45:00.000-06:002006-03-24T22:52:29.880-06:00No Fancy Equipment Here.I don't need a "fish finder". I don't need a $5 lure. I don't need a $50,000 boat. I can and do, however, catch lots of big pretty fish on a shoestring budget. I can get worms out of the ground, catch a baitfish and use it to get the "big one". If you are a lousy fisherman and you buy a hundred bucks worth of fishing tackle, you are still a lousy fisherman.Feel free to post a comment, preferably Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1143005245240948382006-03-21T23:16:00.001-06:002006-03-21T23:36:15.316-06:00Bad Weather For Most FishingTexas has had some crazy weather lately. Eighty degrees in January, wildfires, ten inches of rain in March, and even lows near freezing just days after those very floods. This weather, unfortunately, is not particularly conducive to good fishing. Well, maybe if you have your gear on the porch and don't mind fishing in the floodwaters, but I don't think that would be such a great idea.I guess all Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1142826178904226052006-03-19T21:35:00.000-06:002006-03-19T21:42:58.916-06:00When my father was a kid...He would go fishing with his family and they could catch 80 Crappie in one morning. Of course they went out every day so they had every opportunity to catch plenty of fish. Grandma is now around 80yrs. herself. She was fishing when she was a little kid. My grandmother has fished for more than seventy years. That is possibly longer than many of you have been around for.Post a comment on your own Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1142482450551976232006-03-15T22:06:00.000-06:002006-03-15T22:14:10.566-06:00What is the most fish you have caught?Or what is the fastest you have caught them in? It can be fun to throw your lure or bait in and get a hit right as the lure hits the water. Sometimes you can catch two or three in just a few minutes, if you have a buddie you could give them the fish you just caught and sometimes cast it back in and catch another before your fishin' buddie sits down.Think Like the FishHook The FishFissureManUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1142233371971715812006-03-13T00:40:00.000-06:002007-01-22T20:15:01.100-06:00Patience is a virtue.Once when I was fishing with my father this was what happened.We decided to go at around nine in the morning. We went and got to the lake at around nine forty-five or ten o' clock. We cast our lines and wasted nearly all of our worms. I think that Dad had one or two small baitfish. I hadn't coaught much if anything.

Have a fishin' rod and some line and hooks? Close to a fishin' hole? Low on cash?Get a little hook and string up your reel. Go to said fishin' hole and dig in the dirt somewhere and find some worms. I personally think that red wrigglers work best because they are livelier, last longer(especially in the heat) and are harder to get off the hook(and on). Fish until you catch a sunfish.

Is there a specific color anyone recommends? I personally feel that a lure that has a bright color(visible in murky water) is more likely to catch a fish's eye.It seems like natural movement is neccessary as well. If you have a lure that doesn't have any movement that looks realistic you may not catch much.

What kind of fish do you prefer to eat? Do you like Catfish? How about Trout? I would enjoy a good bit of Blue Gill with fries and ketchup and onion rings. ;-)Tell us what you like!Have you caught any good fish lately?Post a comment and tell us all about it!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1141437272048532612006-03-03T21:43:00.000-06:002006-03-03T19:54:32.056-06:00We got 2 bucks worth of crappie jigs today(20 small-headed jigs 10 White/Pink/White and 10 Red/Blue/White ). One of these days we will go fishing and tell you how we do. What colors(if any) do you have luck with?Tell us if you have any luck on minnows too. I have been told that smaller ones work well for Crappie. If you have any Crappie recipes please feel free to add them.Please let us know Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320979.post-1141351392045604462006-03-02T19:47:00.000-06:002006-03-02T20:59:06.870-06:00I am not sure if the crappie are spawning, I have not been fishing lately. It should be that time of year soon when crappie spawn and you can catch them on a jig easily. When Crappie spawn they fast - they dont eat so they can protect the eggs. When they notice a jig(or anything they think could be a predator) they try to kill it. This is why they bite very quickly making it easier to catch them.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
