Cropietx, Maybe this will help if I did it corectly!!!This is a Sticky for different methods we post our pics.

So list your procedures in detail if you're so inclined.

(1) Go to www.photobucket.com
(2) Setup an account - it's free
(3) Read their directions on pic size and types
(4) Locate and identify the pics you have already saved to your hard drive, disc, or camera. (I have found that saving pics to my hard drive is quicker.)
(5) From Photobucket, in the file name field, where it reads "Choose an image (or a video)", click on Browse. This is where you will need to go to your pic folder.
(6) Double-Click on the pic you want.
(7) On your Photobucket page, click on Upload. This will transfer the pic from your computer to the Photobucket webpage.
(8) Scroll down to where you will locate your newly uploaded pic.
(9) Beneath that pic you will see three different fields, *URL, *HTML, and *IMG
(10) In the IMG field, highlight the entire script, right click your highlight and in the popup click on Copy.
(11) Go to your post in the Texas Hunting Forum (or any other site) and in the body of your post, click your right mouse button and then click on Paste.
(12) It's there. It's always a good thing to review your reply to make sure, though.

If I have missed a step, I'm sure it'll tell on me soon enough...but I think I have it all covered.

This procedure worked for me and I am a computer dummy!!

Cropietx, Big Orn on the Texas Hunting Forum put this info up for us dummies to be able to post pictures.

And I thought our recent flooding was only applicable to Kentucky. This has been one cold, windy, nasty spring for the bluegrass. To top that off, the Cats had a dismal first season under Billy G. as injuries compounded his first year efforts. There will be brighter days ahead!

First, we had the largest snowfall in 15 years (12 inches) back in late Feb. The rains and floods hit in late March with 5 3/4" in one 24 hour period. The lakes within 60 miles of me are high and muddy with parking lots under water. I am afraid that the bass and crappie spawns this year will be washed out as the water temps are hovering around 55 - 58 degrees and if we get a couple of 75 degree days with southerly winds the fish will drop their eggs only to be destroyed by falling waters.

I see where Cape Giradeau (sp) has had around 20" of rain these past several weeks so things could be worse. Unlike you experts, I have never been able to catch crappie once the water temp reaches 70 degrees or through the summer season. Any suggestions? Best of luck to everyone in your area on the crappie, stripes and bass this year!....../Mike)

Mike,
For lots of years I was just like you about only being able to catch them in the spring. Then one year my buddy WillieFindum happend to see an ole boy going from tree to tree in standing timber during late May out in 20' of water.

From then on, me an him had a whole new world of crappie fishing open up to us. Sure we'd tried the trees before but it was pick one, tie up, and sit there for hours dunking minners whether we was getting any bites or not. "Surely they're going to start biting sooner or later" That's probably true but not on that particular tree on that day.

The trick we learned was to fish a tree for about 3-4 drops with a jig that had a minner hooked through his lips covering the whole level from top to bottom and if we didn't get any, move to another tree. As soon as we figured out what bottom depth and what zone within that depth that was holding crappie, we'd concentrate putting our jigs where the fish were. Still wouldn't waste time on a tree that had no fish but it improved the odds considerable once we figured out where they were holding on that particular day.

It's fun to pull up to one and have your depth set to where you drop down and pull one right back up 5 to 10 times in a row on one single tree. That don't happen just real often, but often enough to remember how much fun it is. Usually a producing tree will hold 1-3 fish but a lot of trees will hold zero. Never figured out why, but what's under the water surely must look different than what we see on top. The trick is don't waste much time on the zero trees.

This is just one way to catch them. Go back and study this forum and you'll learn more than you can imagine. Ernest Paty's Crappie 101 DVD would be worth getting and studying. Good Luck and check back in once in a while to let us know how you're doing.
