Crappie Fishing Report 02/04/10

[straw hat]

Bob, thanks for the clarification on fizzing. I have been fizzing fish all these years and didn't even know it!! As far as going in the side of the fish and hitting an internal organ, this can usually be avoided by going in about 1/4" below the bottom of the vertabrae (this will avoid the kidneys) and push in only about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Insert only until you begin releasing air. But, you are right, it is safer to go in through the mouth if possible.
