Is The World Off Its Axis?

[Ham]

I've caught morwe crappie on mine than bass

I tie 2 jigs on my F&F set up, about 6-10'' apart, different colors, 10ft rod ,4lb floro, used to use the same setup on steelhead in northern Michigan, the long rod makes it easier to control the fish on light line and cast {well... lob really }

Good info, guys. Thanks much. And Ham, I'm gonna be real, real disappointed if I catch crappie and not bass. I may be inconsolable. Probably cry all the way to the frying pan.

This thread has certainly been entertaining. Between it and the "Ned thread". I've been reading tons of info while sick at home with a sinus infection. Yuck!

The amount of knowledge on the OAF site and how easily it is shared is unreal. Everyone deserves a pat on the back and an "atta-boy" for sharing so openly. Kudos to all.

Champ I'll take those crappie off your hands if they are going to upset you so much. Lol! ;-)

I agree with J-Doc. I've been sitting here reading about the fishing and looking at the pic's of the fish and wishing I could get out. When I look out the window all I see is snow on the ground!

One thing I'm beginning to realize is that buying the boat may have been the cheapest part of fishing Cabela's is going to have a great Jan. in sales!

The problem I have is I have to buy 2 of everything..............one for me and one for the wife!!!!!

I noticed crappie seem to boune the bobber while a bass just pulls it under. Oh and drum seem to like it too!!!! Good technique for cold water thought

The thing about the slip cork is that you may miss a few bites (what is known by the F n F fanatics) due to "lift bites". Bites where the bass comes from beneath the bait and comes towards the surface with it. With a slip bobber you may miss that the majority of the time. They have F n F weighted bobbers to where in that case of a "lift bite" the bobber will lay on it's side indicating a fish has the jig. Mike Bucca (same "Triton Mike" Bucca who makes the Bull Shad swim baits) is a F n F expert and has some EXCELLENT youtube videos of both tutorials of how to F n F and also mod's he does to the bobbers.

Not wrong. Watched those a couple of years back. The big rod and fixed float no doubt maximize the technique. Slip bobber just makes it more accessible without a complete buy in. Wonder how the walleye and crappie guys deal with that bite?

There is another good dvd, about half of which was shot on Table Rock (back in Fisher among others).
