Crappie Ready

Crappie fishing is some of the best panfish to catch and eat! 

My setup for crappie is a Daiwa Laguna spinning reel spooled up with Crappie Max 6 lb camouflage line on a Daiwa Laguna soft tip rod. The soft tip keeps pressure from pulling the hooks from the crappie's paper mouth.

Some of the brands of lures and jigs I use are pictured below. I've found the best sizes are 1/16 and lower for crappie. Color of lures and jig heads depend on water clarity and depth.

Sliders are in white/chartreuse a very effective color.

These white spoiler shad made by Creme are effective on crappie as well as other predatory fish such as largemouth and spotted bass so be aware.

Another brand that already comes with jig heads are the Uncle Bucks brand. 

Taurus TCP

My new concealed carry, the Taurus TCP. 

This small gun is a great pocket pistol chambered in 380 ACP. I picked it up and loaded it with Hydrashok Federal Hollowpoints. It's great for the person with small hands and wants a gun to carry concealed all the time. It weighs about 11 oz loaded and 8.2 oz unloaded.

It's a Double Action Only with a long trigger pull. With the regular magazine I could only get my middle and ring finger around the grip.

I added a Pearce mag extension and got a much better grip without sacraficing concealement.

For a great economical firearm with a lifetime warranty, pick up a Taurus.

Snow in Georgia today

Well, won't be going out fishing anytime soon. It's snowing today in Georgia and pretty much everywhere else too! 

Will get back with you guys soon with more fishing stuff.

Striper fishing update

Went striper fishing yesterday morning and hooked up my first striper ever!

It took a lot of line from my reel but I knew it was a striper because of how it bent my rod tip all the way to the breaking point.

I was using a clear a just a bobber placed 3 feet from the lure which was a white 1/8 oz marabou jig.

He bent the hook a little and got off. I will keep you updated on when I get one reeled in.

Big Spot

Again out fishing around the diving seagulls at Holly Park for striper using my 3/8 oz bucktail. I picked up a few small thread fin shad on my lure so I knew I was in the school of baitfish.

I casted the bucktail out and started slow rolling it back with water temps in the high 40s and low 50s around lots of rock and deeper water I picked up a big spotted bass this morning. Check him out, he's been eating good!
