Scale'em gut'em pressure cook them . You can eat them bone and all like mackerel. Or make up some fish patties . Noth'in but a squeal gets away around my house.

Gotta love some dock fishing!!! That's what I do quite a bit of...

 

[Jig Man]

I know what ya mean TF. Back in the day before limits, we kept most everything. Grandmother said if it was big enough to eat a minnow, it was big enough to keep...Didn't fillet a fish till I moved from home.
Kid: If your like me it's probably heated...

Those will be some good crappie after a few more months of growing time. Looks like a great place to fish in cold weather.

Some heated, some open air. The heated docks in the middle of winter sure are fun. Nothing like catching slabs in a 65-70* dock when it's snowing out!

One of my favorite combos is a pink 1/32oz head, white tail, and Crazy's "shimmering blue" chenille.

Good looking jig, Jig Man. I can't wait the jig fishing gets good around here again. All I'm doing now is trolling crankbaits for crappie. None of the lakes I fish have docks to shoot. I think I would love that.

 

[Ron Don]

What happened to the white tail??!!

 

[CrappieHappy]

Ronny, Think Mel is experiencing with non-white tails

 

[Radtexan]

Sorry Mel,,I really dont have anything against a W**** tail ..

 

[Jig Man]

Roger, I'm just messing with you... Everything is cool. To be perfectly honest most of the white bou is from old jigs that I am stripping down. You see I have been fishing with jigs a long time, but until recently it has been with store bought stuff. wtex got me started on this tying deal, and after fishing with his stuff, store bought just doesn't cut it anymore. So anyway that is where most of the w**** tail material is coming from.
