I have noticed a few posts about time for float n fly, I know generally what it is but would like to know more about how to set up to the rig and when is the best time to use it. I would like to use it to catch crappie if possible. thanks Rusty

Went Saturday, it was supposed to be windy so o chose to go to wooly creek instead of the main lake. Water was 54 deg . . Put in about 730 and fished to 11. I caught 13 and a couple of small bass but only had 3 that would keep ( had several that would barely touch the line but I didn't keep those). 1/2 way back in the creek on pole timber or brush in 17 foe on a char/white tube is the only way I could get bit. The 3 I cleaned were all males. Guess I should have went and tried the main lake. Had fun. rusty

I'm glad you posted this when you did Hughsey, changed my game plan and wound up with 5 keepers today, didn't find them like you did but had fun. Thanks again

tied for crappie tuesday also @ the flat/james , i didn't do any good either, i hooked 1 crappie and it flipped off at the boat.

alittle over a year ago at highpoint, me and a guy from my church went fishing. he backed me in and parked the truck, he said that he got the trailer a little crooked, when we got back my trailer had been turned completely sideways, so he straightened it out and we loaded the boat and headed back toward springfield on 123, there is a sharp corner before you get to 215 for morrisville and my trailer came unhooked. thank the Lord for safety chains..i found my pin that was locking my hitch in the back of my truck..

does anyone know if the ramp at cape fair or bridgeport are open and not iced up? was looking to go thursday this week.. Rusty

i do this on the side along with upholstery, if any of you decide that you dont want to tackle it , i would be honored to earn your business..i have not been blessed with a heated shop yet so i would have to wait until it warmed up alittle before i could install carpet..just let me know if i can help

was wanting to try to find out what the water temperature was around buck creek, if anyone has been lately that info would be helpful..also i was wondering when bullshoals usually turns over around buck creek???

mike how do you find out at what depth the thermocline is??

when i was inquiring about this not too long ago i was told that it started after the spawn and lasted all summer..

was there friday night and had my first success with fishing with a light at cedar ridge, wound up with 21 total, had 2 whites and 4 short crappie and a limit of crappie, had a good night and alot of fun

were you fishing over brush or catching them on the ledges..

the 12 ft beds were the best tried the deeper bed and could not get a bite

my dad and i went to high point area friday, was allitle bit windy but not too bad, we had 12 keepers, we were catching them one brush piles 9-12 ft deep, fish were scattered you would only get 2 or so keepers at each stop. i was going to move out into deeper water to see if they were suspended but stuck with the brush piles. all in all it was a great day to be out but would have liked to have caught more fish..

smoker welcome..300 bandits are crankbaits that alot of people troll for crappie in the summer..you can find them at bass pro or cabelas.. Rusty
