Nicely said and I do respect everything you just
Wrote .. But the thread is about what a pot licker
Is ? People's definition of a pot licker .. We all
Have pot licked plain and simple .. If it's fishing
Another mans Bp to watching someone catch
Fish in a certain spot and go back and fish same
Spot later .. To getting in someone's pocket and learning
Spots etc .. We all have done it .. Is what it is ..
Honestly I'm tired of fishing other people's Bp
So I'm paying my dues putting in the work and
Putting my own out and I'm sure it will be pot
Licked by those who don't want to learn how to
Be successful and take pride in catching on there
Own Bp .. Hmmm .. That could be a pocket .. Lol

Lead on Crapicat! I knew you could articulate the essence of this better than I. Now where EXACTLY are the fish biting and when are you taking me? Don't forget, I'll show up after you launch, just pick me up at the dock please!!!

Thanks Bobcat...

LOL, you know that is fine with me...gonna have to get back on the water soon...my nerves are shot! I have been walking around simulating fishing (like the golfers do the swing without a golf club) while I work!

Well I guess we all are potlickers then and some of us are just liars cause I know for a fact you have never put any BP's out, besides if you ever do, you won't be able to find them again cause you are clueless on how to use your electronics. And that's what God loves, "The TRUTH"!
And you're crazy if you think everything on the bottom of the lake was intentionally put there by a man.
Learning from someone does not make one a potlicker. Like it has been said, we all learned from someone. Either a family member, if we were lucky, or a friend, or a stranger willing to help out. I learned from Freddy and Tomasc. But Mr. Hugator was the one standing next to me when I caught my very first fish and it was a crappie on Belton lake over at winklers back in 1985. But once they gave me a clue to what I should try, I took it from there and got out of their pockets as soon as I could. I am about to jump back in Tomasc's pocket to learn how to shoot docks. He offered this weekend and I plan on learning one day. I don't claim to know everything about crappie fishing. I still consider my self a rookie, but I continually try to learn something every time I go out. And I don't exaggerate or flat out lie to make myself look more knowledgeable.
I also don't mind helping anyone catch fish. I will tell anyone who asks where and how I caught my fish. But I will pull you out of my pocket once I realize you are lazy and won't try to learn on your own. Then you have to go to RC and hop in Jame's and the old man's pocket and start policking there.

Let's all hold hands and sing:

Jig Master, I was simply trying to give an example of how I try to lead the people we see as a typical potlicker into following their own path, by giving them the tools necessary to become self reliant fishermen. I personally know several people that have become self-reliant fishermen (instead of potlickers, as herein described.) after giving them the tools necessary to understand what it takes to locate/catch fish on their own. As fishermen, we can all do the same thing, we just have to see why it is desirable to do so. In fact, I was addressing pot licking albeit from a different perspective...the perspective I use. Yes, I could cuss and belittle them, but that does nothing to address the real problem...the fact that they usually just don't know how to locate fish and catch them on their own, so they are reduced to pot licking...and Yes, there are hardcore pot lickers who will never stop, but hey, I even try to help them...

Before I start .. Just want to say hey your behind and love ya bro ..
Now I know how to use my electronics thanks to you I finally
Am getting it after you pounded it in my head .. Am I perfect
With it .. Nope !! I'm still learning .. Still a rookie and a steering
Wheel holder .. I did find a Bp in a channel this past weekend
And killed em .. Far as James he is and has been out of town
For quite sometime so Im not sure what that's about a little out
There if you want me to be honest and if he was there who cares ..
We have a good time and learn from each other .. That's what it's
About ain't it .. Now this thread is about pot licking
Again everyone has done it including you .. Far as
A little brush on bottom of the lake were the dinks are
Yea your right .. But I'm learning the best Bp that
Are working for me is the ones that are huge
And fresh .. Think about it you could move out of
Old house into new one you would .. Crappie are
The same .. At least that's what I'm learning ..
Bigger Bp the better .. Add some brush to those
Folks Bp your fishing and see if you do better ..
Just my 2 cents ..

Understand .. Got ya .. Well said ..

I know that my "friends" never want to go fishing until after I start showing them coolers full of fish. Then they start asking me to take them to do the exact thing they told me they didn't want to do. Needless to say, I need some friends that aren't potlickers. I was hoping to find some people on TFF, but it's pretty obvious that everyone here is a potlicker.

LOL...TFF folks tend to be give and take...ie., take me fishing on your lake and I will take you on mine...or lets go to a neutral lake and see what we can find...so, that doesn't really qualify as pot licking...unless you take a VERY NARROW view of pot licking...

For what it is worth, I always want to be the guy that shows up with that first cooler full of fish to get the other guys fired up to start fishing...Oh yea, they want to go with me...usually I just tell them to call me when they get on the water and I will point them in the right direction...sometimes though, I get the opportunity to get on the boat with them...and we go catch some fish...

I understand I got some friends just recently
At work like that .. They never seem to want
To go till I get on them .. But hey I invited them
Anyways but they were know shows .. I was gonna
Let em get in my pocket . Yes everyone of these
Guys on this crappie forum are pot lickers .. But
Good pot lickers .. They will do there best to put
You on fish because someone that knew about
Crappie fishing and was a pot licker before them
Let em in there pocket ..

exactly...

You like to get a cooler full .. Same here .. Love getting them
Numbers ... Nothing like figuring them out and getting
Numbers ..

So where did the original Potlicker go? Started all the Carp then he
