crappie are thick in the centex right now, 19, mostly 11 and 12 inch fish yielded almost 4.5 lbs of fillets. eggs are very , very small
seasoned them up with my favorite mix, lemon pepper, tony chachere cajun seasoning, a little garlic powder, and chile powder. not hot chile powder, very mild. it gives fish an amazing flavor! will roll the fillets in Italian bread crumbs before dropping them in hot oil. 360. F
I add heat later with my homeboy Dustin" the diamond " Poriers Louisiana hot sauce. might save some for some grilled fish tacos later in the week, or make some crappie crabby patties.. ITS ALL GOOD!!

Stay tuned, u havent seen nothing yet. ha
my little town fire dept has fish frys now and then to raise money.
they always run out of fish, im going to help them out. I will show them what a fish fry is.
when my shed got hit by lightning they came with a 1 ton dually, with a 250 gallon tank on the back. couldnt drive thru my lot because it was muddy from rain. no hose to reach either,/ time for a real fire truck!

Can’t wait to see the new jighead

Good feedback. The "N" model is only needed to share waypoints, you still should have the Helix 7 hooked up to the transducer on the trolling motor regardless. If you are fishing shallow, you can't buzz them with the big motor on down scan. once your trolling motor takes you to the waypoint you marked, then use the Jog feature on ultrex remote (5 feet) to bounce around until you see the structure show up on the Helix 7 2D or DI.

still working on it, the issue right now is finding someone to make a proto type to be field tested . nobody will re tool thier machines unless I commit to and pay for 150.000 hooks upfront. not going to get 150.000 hooks made that I cannot be sure are to my specs. glad u like my Idea and it is still going to happen, just have to get the right company to make them. The covid situation is not helping either.
the company I was interested in, has to fly Japanese engineers into china , to re configure the machines. an 8 hour process. I have some sample hooks from them with the vertical eye design and they are great, but I want a few thousand samples made of the horizontal eye version made.

The marketing is that they are AMERICAN COMPANIES. but if u do some research, they arent making them here., they may get the steel from the US or elsewhere, one company uses German steel, the best in the world, but the steel goes to china to make hooks. Take a huge company like Eagle Claw, all made in china, but they have the resources to establish quailty control, they have people who can stay on top of the products, if the products dont meet thier standards, they can cancel millions of dollars in orders , then the products will be made correctly because an entire city of people in China may be making the product line for them and they will have no jobs. large companies have leverage to get things done.
The problem with getting hooks made in china is quality control. you never know what will show up. hooks might have no barb, steel brittle, dull point, ect. they dont care.
everything made in China has no consistency unless u hire a person to stand at the end of the production line and check the products, and its still hit and miss.
heres an example if you use electric fillet knife blades, same thing, you may get a sharp blade, and think, wow this is a great fillet knife, or u may get a dull set, and think the fillet knife sucks, but its not the brand or electric unit, its the blades. The chinese couldnt care less if you are happy with your blades, they only care abt money. They will make things with as little quality as they can get by with., They know most americans dont care abt paying 20.00 for a new set of blades whenever need be. the way they know this, is because of all of the junk that gets sold right back to them, in scrap, that they will melt down, to make more junk to sell to us..
a brilliant idea can turn into a flop, because of a poorly made product.

Solid post and fish. Good job.

It doesn't get much better than a tree full of crappie!
