chartreuse seems to be a universal color for crappie. It is popular down here. I've also had good luck with yellow/white feather jigs

I have a ton of those small hair jigs. I use them for bluegill. When the gills get on beds, it gets nasty. Put a meal worm on one of those hair jigs and fish with a slip cork. Ton of fun. Hate cleaning gills tho. Especially a big male gill

I think my rods were black magic crappie rods. I really liked them. they were fiberglass, and pretty heavy. I'm sure they've gone to something lighter by now. Graphite or some kind of composition.

Yeah, I generally don't save big bream. You don't get much of a filet for the trouble it takes to clean them, IMHO

I need to go catch some redear one of these days. Everywhere I used to go for redear either has a motor limit now or it's been fished to death.

If you can find the right place for big bream, you can really slay 'em. They get into a feeding frenzy and fight over your lure. lol.

So good though. I need to get me some new blades for my knife. Let my neighbor borrow it and he mustve cut through a freakin tree with it lol

Seems like every. Single. Time. I go gill or redear fishing, it's windy as hell and I always end up at one point blowing the boat right on top of the beds and ruin it

The guide we used last week broke out a sawsall, modified to use a filet blade. I imagine as many fish as he cleans, a regular electric filet knife would burn up inside of a month.

Nothing more exciting than sight casting bream beds.

Exactly what my buddy said they used in Alabama. But they caught a bunch of sheep head. said the Guide told him electric knives won't last them but a week they burn through blades so much

The guide we used last week had some kind of troll motor that would hold you in one spot and compensate for windage. He never used an anchor because of all the trees he had sunk on the bottom. he had a wireless remote as well.

Idk, sight fishing for bass is a freakin rush. Lol. Especially throwing a lizard up in a bed and watching big momma go crazy. Hate it when they come up and nose it tho.

Nice!!! Those things are expensive. I've looked at those Power Poles for my boat as well and just too damn much.

sheepshead and redfish are brutal on filet knifes. they are like cutting through armor.

Yeah, he said it was 36 volt, too. I have a hard time keeping up with 2 batteries, let alone 4 or 5.

Same. I've got one that i think is starting to go bad. I really hope not because I'm tired of spending money.

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

Bullet, it's been nice chatting with you. Good luck on that new boat next week. Be sure and take some pics. I need to get out of here. Way past an old man's bedtime.

Hell I went through a stretch there my ex wife's battery went to hell in her car, then 3 days later my battery went to hell in my truck. That sucked because I was at the river and had to have my buddy come jump me so I could get the boat out. It was a mess

Same here. Later. Look forward to sharing some more fishing pics with each other. Hopefully I can tie into the bass soon

They don't give those marine deep cycle batteries away, either. lol
