crappie jerk i am from pleasant hope also! we have had good luck the last 3 months doing the same thing every week....brush piles 15 to 20 fow. some days they are in it, some days over it, some to the side of the brush. minnows and jigs. i always start with a jig, my brother with a minnow. if he starts to catch more than me i'll finally switch over to keep up, but often the jigs work well. one thing that seems odd, seems as if i miss far more fish with a jig than minnows. don't miss many on the minnow but miss more than i hook with a jig. can't figure it out. bolivar landing area is one of the only areas we haven't had much luck in. from bolivar landing all the way to lightfoot has not been great what little we fished it. from lightfoot all the way around the lake to the free pittsburg access has been good for numbers, less so for size. best bite has been between 730am and 1030 am and again in the evening, this is when we often catch 10+ an hour. the midday has been slower, 2-5 per hour on average. not every pile is good, but you can't give up on one too soon. several times we haven't got a bite the first 5-10 minutes then they turn on. i guess they get used to us being there. next thing you know, you've caught 10 fish on this pile in a few minutes. standing timber hasn't been bad either, but they are more scattered. seems the fish are in one of two modes. 1) agressive and will hit within the first couple seconds or even on the fall or 2) want to look at it FOREVER. Fish a stump forever and when you think there isn't a fish there, fish a little more. Then just as you are about to move to the next WHAM!

Brad, how was the tourney? you back to fishing yet?

Haven't been bass fishing for a while, but we've been catching a bunch of bass crappie fishing brush piles in 10 to 20ft of water. could easily catch a limit or two if you were actually targeting them.

Well we bombed. Got a sunburn. Caught a few fish nothing to write home about, although my bro did lose a heck of a nice one which I think just about made him sick for the next hour while I laughed my butt off at him. Had a good day even if the fish didn't cooperate all that well.

Haven't been in probably 4-5 months Headed to fish Pomme arm tomorrow with my brother and his two kids. Not expecting too much, but looking forward to spending some time on the water! Will try to remember to post report tomorrow.

Pleasant Hope. How was the quality Price?

Hi everyone. I'm in dire need to redo my boat seats. 1990 champion 184 fish and ski. Both couch seats and the 3 driving or riding seats needs new everything. It looks too complicated to make them myself, so what is the cheapest option? Buying seats or having an upholstery shop make new ones? Don't need fancy just functional. Just can't spend $1200 to do it either. Any one here like making seats? Thanks
