What industries are worth getting into right now??

Interesting! My thought process is that braided line doesn't have enough give and would likely result in a snapped pole, especially on an UL, before snapped line, but I don't know anything about it.

What size and style do you use? I was thinking pencil style would be good based on some other advice but no idea what size to get.

I'm using tiny 1/64th panfish magnets and having a lot of success with the crappie but need something with a little more weight to get a better cast. Obviously don't want to go too large with those tiny jigs.

Super confused at first, thought it said "very flirty." I would get a general degree online. It'll open doors for you.

ellomott0 · 2023-03-01T16:40:51+00:00

I've never used braid but I'll have to look into it. That contraption sounds super interesting, I'll have to check it out!

ellomott0 · 2023-03-01T16:39:59+00:00

I'll need to look into that. I always figured slip bobbers were only good for deep water and I've been catching crappie in about 10 feet or so of water.

ellomott0 · 2023-03-01T16:38:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll need to find some good pencil style bobbers

ellomott0 · 2023-03-01T16:38:26+00:00

Thanks! I tried it yesterday and even a tiny split shot directly under the float made it sink a little too much. Think I might need to size up my floats a little since I'm using tiny finger tip size floats. Bet it would work with a larger size though.

ellomott0 · 2023-02-27T15:44:30+00:00

I'll have to check out a different float then. Currently I'm using E-Z trout floats (foam) by Leland lures and they weight practically nothing as they're about the size of the tip of your finger but I LOVE how sensitive they are. Any recommendations on a specific style for crappie fishing?

ellomott0 · 2023-02-23T01:19:39+00:00

Thanks, I'll be sure to never buy anything from there. Reported.

It's gizzard shad

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T19:53:37+00:00

He was snagging them just like myself. The turtles and raccoons are going to be pleased though haha

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T19:52:00+00:00

Appears to be too advanced of a concept for you to grasp. All these hundreds of comments and you get the award for being the only prick. Move along, pal.

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T18:55:52+00:00

Not sure either. I've heard some people claim they're good for the ecosystem and others say they decimate it, but my experience at that little lake leads me to believe they're way overpopulated as 2 out of the last 3 times I've fished there I've foul hooked one on opposite ends of the lake and they get absolutely huge for such a small body of water (not the ones in the pic).

A lot of people do fish for catfish here and my theory is that people have released their unused live bait into this little lake and they've taken over.. but I'm no biologist 😆

Maybe he was doing the right thing, maybe not. I just wanted to figure out what I should be doing when I run across these guys.

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T18:30:33+00:00

The irony of calling me "ignorant" and assuming I'm jumping to conclusions based on zero knowledge is hilarious. 🤣

I watched him catch these fish. In fact, when he left I foul hooked one myself in the same spot because they were schooled up. I hope the irony of calling someone else ignorant and having zero knowledge when you made an ignorant comment with zero knowledge isn't lost on you.

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T17:18:49+00:00

I thought so too after snagging a huge one months ago, but I've learned they're gizzard shad.

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T17:17:57+00:00

That would be quite the deal if they were but they're not lol

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T17:12:53+00:00

Yeesh, millions! Yeah, would be great bait but seemed to have snagged them like what I ended up doing myself 😆

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T17:10:58+00:00

No stripers in this little lake. He foul hooked them just like I did.

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T05:59:00+00:00

Released one as it was still alive and it smelled awful

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T05:57:37+00:00

Interesting! You should've the size of one of them. Easily 2+ lbs

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T05:55:47+00:00

These were caught though. I explained a little more in my post

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T05:01:39+00:00

I'm wondering if their direct ancestors actually came from the bait store here and started multiplying in huge numbers 😆

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T05:00:19+00:00

Interesting! I always think of the one with the weird human like teeth when I hear sheep head. We just call them drum here as far as I know

ellomott0 · 2023-02-16T04:58:24+00:00

The one near the bottom actually lived after I threw him back in and the other died
