Slabs on the Horn,Big Sandy by CK - CrappieKeith - 01-07-2007 CrappieKeith here telling all of you ice fisherman W.O.W. We drilled them today with my jig and a spring bobber. Just barely saw the spring twitch ,but enough to drive the hook home. What a day! \ sorry for the edited of pic size, we are trying to keep width sizes below 450 pixels.

I got a mind to pull my boat out of storage and go out after some this coming week. man its been a long time since I have been able to get out on the ice. well over a year, as a matter of fact its been a year and a month sicne I last saw ice. thats right I had ice on december 14th of last year and the next day rain set in and melted it all away... havent seen it since.... try as I might, I just cant be pure enough to walk on water. man I miss ice fishing......

I've been tieing 100th oz er's.Plus you need a good spring or you do not see the hits. [signature] Re: [CrappieKeith] Slabs on the Horn,Big Sandy by CK - davetclown - 01-08-2007 I sware by spring bobbers as well, but I dont like any of the ones on the market, nor do I like the way any of them conect to my rod. I make my own out of banjo string. I have caught a number of one inch crappie on my banjo string bobber because it is so delicate the slightest of bit of lip sets off my spring.... That and a good quality line that hangs streight down with no curls. I get a lot of twang for my bite [angelic] [signature] Re: [CrappieKeith] Slabs on the Horn,Big Sandy by CK - maniac - 01-13-2007 Very nice Crappies! Have you ever used the Maniac Ice Cut'r on Crappie? James [signature] Re: [CrappieKeith] Slabs on the Horn,Big Sandy by CK - bdn06 - 01-13-2007 Sweetness! Wish I was in on that crappie-fest! [signature] Re: [maniac] Slabs on the Horn,Big Sandy by CK - CrappieKeith - 01-15-2007 No I have not. I guess when T.H.E. Jig fills my limit I've not found a need to change. I used to use all sorts of baits until my friend used to hand my butt to me everytime we went out,so I switched to his jig. Then he could not keep me in them so I learned how to tie them.

[/reply] [signature] Re: [CrappieKeith] Slabs on the Horn,Big Sandy by CK - davetclown - 03-08-2007 hate when that happens,,, I was out for a couple hours today, I ended up with three 9 inch gills and one 10 inch red eye. Ya, my batteries are still dead... I have to get out and pick up me another supply of copper tops... we had a three inch snow fall last night, so I guess the bite was on yesterday afternoon, I will most likley hit the bite tomarow... today we had a high preasure system over top, that tends to slow the bite down in my area.. but it was such a pretty day I could not stand sitting inside so I got on the water for the better part of the afternoon.... [signature] Re: [CrappieKeith] Slabs on the Horn,Big Sandy by CK - davetclown - 03-08-2007 I forgot to mention, I like those berkley waxies.. wished I would have picked up some different colors in addition to the white ones I got last month.. I found I do have to excercise them a bit befor placing on my hook... [signature]
