Last try for me this weekend at PLO then it will be the random Ocean trip and perhaps an excursion to some power plants.

[Otter]

Everybody have a safe winter. I'm having a hard time giving up completely though. I may go looking for some crappie or something this weekend.

Also, gonna be going out for wahoo in the Bahamas on the honeymoon in Jan. Wish me luck.

[cygnus-x1]

Now thats what I call "setting the tone" for the marriage! I just hope your lovely bride is invited! =)

Have a great honeymoon! ... hope you all come back as a couple =)

[Andre]

[Otter]

Hi C-d-l,

I look forward to fishing with you again in the spring. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and to all.

I'm interested in doing some crappie fishing too. Any upper bay guys who are going to do it this winter, please let me know. I'd like to learn how.

[KT_UMCP]

are crappies any good eating?

[chump]

my parents really like them, but i don't eat fish myself... supposed to be one of the better tasting freshwater fish though...

we were desparate once because we didn't have fresh bait and used 2 day old crappies for blues and did fairly well... but i think it's just because it's bluefish and it's fairly fresh...

chump

[Lipyourown]

Fried crappie is really, really good.

[fishhead]

Crappie ... yum ... next best thing to fresh walleye ... way better than bass or even trout IMO.

[Excalibur]

If anyone is willing to give some pointers for going Crappie fishing near the upper bay, count me in. I live 15 mins or so from Loch Raven and see some "die-hards" out there each winter. I've never really given it a shot myself because a) Don't know how and b) Not sure how good it is / e.g. is it worth my time.

Btw, if we can hook something up, I can contribute bringing along a propane heater to keep us from freezing !

[KT_UMCP]

Count me in you guys if you decide to go crappie fishing. I just like excalibur will need a refresher course in crappie101. Not too worry I am a very fast learner and have rods and reels to accomdate the light action. Hopefully, you guys don't travel too far I am in Rockville. When I was younger I use to go to the area lake and catch crappies all day long and well into the night.

[Otter]

Yeah, crappie are awesome fish to eat. Soooo, where they at guys? Dre said the C&O canal is good, and L's talking about near the Kennedy Center. I would prefer someplace where I can keep and eat em (read:not the lower Potomac).

We've taken a few out of that lake in Columbia w/ all the shops and resteraunts around it. Here's L w/ a couple of slabs that some other dude caught:

Somebody help us decide where to go.

Me When Yall Decide Where Yall Want To Go , I Have To Go To Georgia Rfor Training In A Couple Of Weeks So Lets Do It Soon . 301-556-7811 C-d-l

[sand flea]

I'll probably go crappie fishing at Loch Raven some time this weekend. At least they're good eating.

There is a trick to fishing off those high bridges, which I only learned last year.

Stinkin' winter...

[chump]

Oh wow!!! Nice slabs you got there. I'm going to BPS tomorrow to pick up a OM12. While I'm there, can someone recommend some lures for the winter crappies? During the spring time, I use grubs and jigheads, but never tried for them later in the year.

Thanks,
Chump

I stumbled into this link that contains all the information you ned all hot spot lakes in just about all counties. Just click on a lake and all the information you will ever need is there, from directions to species of fish.

[Andre]

I got things to do this whole weekend :mad: so for those who do go out don't for get to let us now how you did ?...hey flea don't forget to Bring something to stand on while going to loc raven your going to need it.....
Chump the same thing you caught crappies on in the sping will work in the winter. A Charlie Brewer slider IS a crappie killer in 1/8 oz .

Good luck to all

Home From Work , My Co-worker Got Car Jacked In Dc And Is In The Hospitol In Grave Condition With A Gun Shot To His Chest And Face. I'm So Tired Of The Violence In This Town But What Can I Do Alone. Well I Will Be Home For A While And Then I,m Going Back To The Streets Yall Take Care And I Will Chat Back Later . C-d-l

CDL

I am very sorry to hear about your co-worker. I hope he recovers. I know what you are saying man. I worked at the Giant on Riggs Rd. for 10 years before I got my act together and put myself through school. I saw many bad things go down just looking out the window and was also robbed and beaten while I was there (ever heard of the P street crew). Any ways here is a wish that he(she?) pulls through.

[captmikestarrett]

Crappie will the first thing I do in March. But for now it is time to pack it up.
Here is a pic to warm you up for March.
