Look what I found
I catch a few off them from time to time here.They hit alot off topwater plugs,brighter colors and just chew them up and mess the trebbles up. I have caught some while fishing crappie on a jig color called electric chicken. They are every where here.

First attempt at making some jigs
seem pretty cool. there is just something about catching a fish on something you created yourself, that makes you get into it.

Finished more cranks
those cranks are very nice, i was wondering what you make your shad dots with? i have been using notebook paper binder supports as a stincil. they stick well ,and dont leave any residue,and the size dot is the size of a hole in notebook paper.

how do you guys keep your equipment clean?
I wipe the dust off my rods, reels with a damp cloth , and use q-tips in hard to reach spots. If my line is brown and frayed and weak, I change it. I lube my reels when i change line.

Craw Colored Cranks
i like craw patterns , even if craws aren't plentiful as in other places, they can still be caught w/ them, in the right circumstances. similar a shinner pattern in a lake that has more shad.

Does braid cause more 'backlash'???
Ive been using 20 # braid , and have less backlashes with it than 12# mono. But lure weight and wind also come into play with that.

Crappie at night?
yes they can, live minnows work well under a light source such as a lantern...
