Hey guys

I’ve just uploaded my first video to youtube. I found some free software called CamStudio and I recorded into my laptop.
Wow, it works great.

So now everyone can find out about crappie fishing, and how everyone can benefit from Crappie Fishing Tips.

Here’s the video:

Keep catching those crappies.

Crappie Fishing Trips (not quite tips)

October 25th, 2009 Crappie100 No comments

Ever been on a crappie fishing trip with the guys?

If you have – do me a favour, stop reading this, call the guys and get one in the diary in the next 4 weeks.

If you haven’t – do me a favour, stop reading this, call the guys and get one in the diary in the next 2 weeks!

You simply have to do it.

I regularly go away with the guys, and you know what – if they guys aren’t there, then I’m off by myself. I just love the clean air, the beers, the banter and the taste of freshly caught fish (and the beer and banter are even better if you take friends along).

A few years ago, me and a few guys went to Kentucky Lake – a hell of a trek, but certainly worth it.

The place is teaming with fish, but thankfully there is some skill involved.

I don’t know about you but I’d rather catch me 1 large crappie after a well thought out day, than catch 15 and feel they were all luck.

But then again maybe that’s just me.

Are you still reading?

Book that trip and then drop me a line.

Find a lake and head to a shallow spot with sand and mud at the bottom!

That’s it – that’s my first tip, and in my first sentence too – not a bad start.

Just kidding – I’m sure that a lot of you know tips like that – but I’m sure that there are a few people who’ve been trying different places, making life more tough than they had to!

Seriously, the best way to become a better crappie fisher is to head where there are more fish. I’ve seen countless guys over the years spend money on all sorts of new equipment, ridiculous home-made bait recipes, say all sorts of secret prayers and …..nothing. Meanwhile, on their way home, they pass an old guy who’s been fishing less time that day than they have, who walks past them with a bucket of freshly caught fish and a big smile on his face. His equipment looks tired, his clothes are scruffy, and he will either have a beard, or lots of stubble. You know the guy I’m talking about.

What has he done differently? location, location, location.

When I was younger, I was so cocky, I knew nothing and though I could outplay anyone at anything by the sheer force of my hustle. Now, hustling is useful in most sports, but take it from a former loser – it ain’t right for fishing.

This is just my first post, and quite a rant – but I’ll provide much more detial on my favourite spots, my favourite tips and even my favourite recipes, just for you!

Take care
