[quote fishn4eyes]what kind of fish finder do you have that tells you what kind of fish is under the docks (crappie) i want one [
] or do you like to speculate alot.
it is your right to tell all, about all you do and to show pics, but as was said in history "loose Lips Sink Ships"
it is ok to teach the masses but one does not need to be in the stage lights all the time, some times one can learn by being kept in the dark and find there own way into the light.[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]Your post came off as being a bit confrontational. But, I will assume you are just poking a bit of fun at an easy target. Since I don't take myself too seriously, I won't take offense at your comments.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]1. There is no accurate way to determine what kind of fish are showing up on your sonar screen. But, from over 30 years of experience fishing crappies on Willard I have a pretty good idea of how they act and how they show up on sonar. No other species in the lake schools like they do...from top to bottom in tight schools...under docks or over structure. I might have been wrong. Coulda been piranhas.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]2. I do not post my reports to "be on stage". I do so to provide helpful information to others who might want or need it. But, the information I share is usually generalized and is not going to ruin any fishery. The "average" angler could not take what I posted and run up to Willard and deplete the lake of crappies. Heck, even the best crappieholics in the state still have trouble catching them when they have crappie lockjaw.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]3. I would take your jabs more seriously if you had more history of providing useful information rather than just responding to others in a negative tone.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]This forum is for everyone who wants to read it and anybody who wants to respond or ask questions. Unlike many other forums we do not discourage newbies or someone who asks questions that may have been covered before. And, if any of us posts information that others think is "bush league" or dumb, they don't have to read it...or respond. With all of the new anglers developing and all of the new BFT lurkers and members, there is always someone who can benefit by almost anything that is posted.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sorry if I gave away your personal honey hole or divulged all of your secrets. How many crappies have you caught out of Willard recently? Hmmmm?[/#0000ff]
