Heh...I had no idea it was illegal. Interesting. The guy sent me another tactic, I can't see how it's illegal. 2 rods. On one you put on a minnow but you clip the bottom part of his tail fin with nail clippers. The on the other you have a spinner and you slowly reel it right towards your "injured" minnow. Supposedly it looks like a rival fish going for the injued bait and creates a bite situation. Anyone try something similar? Here's where I got it. http://www.crappiefishingtricks.com/reports/2-clipped-fin-con_new.htmlJust trying to run this buy you guys before I waste my time trying things.

The easiest way I ever found that catches fish is finding some structure on the lake in the depth you thing the fish are at and dropping down a jig and yanking on the jig when it moves. Usually gets you a fish most times. Not gimmicks, games or gadgets. Just good to honest fishing.

i agree have some one show you how. thats the best way to learn. I would say i paid a guide, but my grandfather does not guide, but he caught fish like no one else i have ever seen.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work!!!

legal or not, thats got to be the funniest $hit I have ever heard. If I'm a crappie fisherman, and own a boat. Im brush pile fishing. If no takers or no one home, move to the next one, etc... Some people are crazy.

Heck I don't care, I'll try anything as long as it's legal.
Wouldn't take long to try.
I also heard of another technique where you take a glass jar, poke holes in the lid, put some minnows in there, and suspend it under the water.
To crappie it looks like a tight little group of minnows hanging out there, and draws them in.
Hokey? Yes... simplistic? Yes. Does it work? I don't know, but I'm going to try.
