I know what you mean topwater.. there is a lot of information as it's such a different way to fish. I was expecting more by the numbers of fish we were seeing but they seemed to be staging to go into the shallows and food seemed far from their minds. It's taken me 12+years to get to know how to fish...

Hey bbr sounds like a good day out to me... i know when we were up at mississippi crappie fishing RJ spotted a nice catfish.

It wasn't a bad day to be out on the water.. no 3ft waves to contend with i bet... nice to catch a few pike and way to go kim That's easily done just be glad it wasn't a muskie lure rj

Hey we'll get out after muskrat for sure i know it will have improved a bit by then anways.

Well after a day fishing with big-o, topwater and RJ up on mississippi for crappie i got home and gave topwater a call and arranged to get out for some carp today... I know it seems strange fishing for 10" crappie one day and 25lb+ carp the next :lol: Bright sun, little cloud, and flat calm wat...

Markus a good recipie for baits would be: 8oz Semolina Flour 4oz Soya Flour 4oz Corn Meal Mix that up and then add 6 eggs to a bowl with vanilla (try pineapple or strawberry if you can find it) and then mix the eggs and gradually add the above powders... once you get a good dough consistancy... roll...

Phew ok you have it down to a tee the 20 crappie I kept took me just under an hour but that was with my 20 month old daughter buzzing around me :lol: :lol: So how much are you going to be charging topwater for filleting his half :?: :lol: :lol: :lol: 25c per fish :lol: Another great day out and i th...

Same here looking forward to seeing lots of reports and pictures and to see if all those tactics will pay off this year for everyone.

Corn.. cheap and easy to use.

45 I'll have to read into that and say ed's biting his tounge but counting down to bass season :lol: :lol: :lol: Ahhh Ed i know exactly how it is with many bass anglers... as a carp angler coming over from england where carp are held in such a high regard as bass are over here i know exactly how it...

They make crappie and perch seem irrelivant when the kids can get out and get fish that big :lol: I know that really got me hooked on them the first time i caught one when all i could hope for before that was something a few lbs... Gezzz i still haven't got out for them yet... what's wrong with that...

Thanks eyetracker.. right letters wrong order

I know most of us don't have vhf radios but many have frs radios... there's another gap in there which i believe is gsrm ?? which i believe also requires some kind of licenses perhaps only in the states though... i think gsrm (maybe a little different) has a slightly better range than plain frs... a...

It kinda brings up a question of what are you supposed to do stop fishing all together because you may catch a bass... From what i heard from many on mississippi the other day, if you didn't catch a bass you probably weren't fishing.. try not to catch one !! MT my point exactly too... i know bass ar...

I think big-o makes a valid point there in that we did throw a heck of a lot back and we were selective about which ones to take home.. I know i had my limit of 15 and they both had thiers of 20 but i don't think anyone was out to get a limit it was just that good. Eyetracker i think a pair of those...

Just got back from a trip up to mississippi with big-o and topwater today. The convoy of 2 boats that met in ottawa at 5:00am was joined at the 416 split by JP who led the way before turning off in carlton place to put in elsewhere on the lake. I ended up having a mixed bag but no walleye and then l...
