Open water angling

Post by Seaweed »

Well to tell the truth I am really looking forward to micro tubing for crappie from the boat this year.

My wife picked me up a nice assortment of Crappie Micro Tubes that are just talking to me from the basement

I never spend enough time doing this and this year I am going to devote a bunch of time to finding some good crappie holes and pounding them into a couple of good feedings.

MMmm they are tasty and such little scrapers for thier size.

Me too!

But then again, I have no choice until big game season opens up.

Well, either crappie or catfish:)

I've found swimbaits to be a real pain when casting, the weighted ones seem to be real snag-magnets, but I've actually had some great success on northerns trolling 9" Storm Swimshad and 10" storm kicking minnow.

Best fishes,

GetTheNet,

RE: Swimbaits
Thx for your comments. I've never trolled with them; I just don't troll all that much as I love casting.

I've read that swimbaits can be pretty effective on pike...and that's what I targeted w/o success. I'm going to keep trying, though. 8)

I tossed them out a couple of times last year but they were unfinished I was just checking to see how they ran in the water.

This year they'll be finished.

These are very unique and are not a copy of other lures.
Big pike/musky sized? :)
Start with the pike sized and once it produces make it bigger for musky.

New tackle

Post by Joey Rat »

Got a couple of the new Rapala Minnow Raps, perch and fire tiger I'm itching to try. Ordered 10 Walleye rigs from a guy at work. He makes his own and some of the other guys swear by them. Heading up to Kipawa in May to see how they work.

I'm planning on buying a baitcaster setup this year so I'll be trying lots of new stuff.

I want to try Texas and Carolina rigs.

I'd like to try Crappie fishing too.
