what for crappie?
what do you guys use for spawning crappies or just catching them shallow near docks? ive been getting tons of bites on a 1/16 oz chartreuse jig with a 2in pearl grub and then a bobber 2 1/2 feet above the jig. but for some reason, out of all 20+ bites, i only caught 3 (i only went for a half hour). what should i use (lures, sizes, and colors) and is there a way to increase the hook/strike ratio?

What do you consider a large Crappie
i keep the daily limit worth, of all sizes but every time i catch a bigger one, ill throw a small one back. id say 10in is pretty big, my biggest was about 11in. i thought i had a bass, but hey, it taste pretty good.

buzzbaits
how exacly do buzz baits work? i know they are like a topwater spinnerbait with an odd blade that makes a comotion. i was thinking, couldnt you rip the skirt off a buzzbait, or even a spinnerbait for that matter, and add a swim bait on the hook as a trailer?

another epic "colors" discussion

crawfish and their claws
when a crayfish acts territorial with its deffencive stance it usually looks more natural to bass
-
creatures
whats weird is people with creatures that look like crayfish plus some more appendages are killing the bass but the others with jigs (crayfish imitator) are getting skunked.

Can i use a glass cup in a microwave? how do you make skirts on a lure? how do you store excess plastic? wont the plastic stick to the mold?
