My field testers

[crappiecripplerjigs]

Today I took Tyler and his buddy James to test out some new colors from this morning. Kip and ducks today. They both performed well. Those boys caught about 25 fish today. Quite a variety too! James doesn't fish much but that bass sure made him grin. Good times!

Thats Great!!! I love it when the kids get in to it and enjoy the outdoors! My son is getting more and more interested in it, but.... he loses interest real quick...... a few more years, and its on!!!!

[Fatman]

Great to see them having a good time!! Kudo's for taking them out and getting them into fishing instead of trouble.

Well, I didn't wear my Mizzou shirt today!! James is spending the night again tonight so we might get back out tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Looks like a good bunch of field testers there. Looks like the product passed the test too.

Looks like your testers had a great time. I hope to get my grandson started this year.

That little pond is about 20 minutes away just into Kansas. Lilly pads are really starting to pop up and fishing is difficult due to all the stems. This pond was stocked with 100 fingerling channel catfish 2 years ago and I believe 100 crappie. I don't know how fast the crappie grow, but at an average of 8" now could they be two year old fish? The pond was very murky while the neighboring smaller one was clear. Could the catfish be stirring on the bottom? We're going to head out again today ahead of the 4-8" of rain that's coming our way.

nice....

Nice bass & bluegill too! What a great spot to develop skills. Getting a cat on a jig is a challenge.

Do you need to pay KS licenses for the crew?

 

[crappiecripplerjigs]

Kansas doesn't require license until age 16, but old dad has to buy one and they are getting expensive. $42 for out of state. Well worth it though as we do most of our fishing and camping in Kansas anyway. KDWP does an excellent job of putting money back into their state parks and campgrounds. Missouri could learn a lesson from them!

Nice pics! You ever fish the strip pits around Pittsburg? That place is paradise!

 

[Fatman]

My son is right out near Ft Riley - he still has alot of friends so he still fish's alot of the waters on the base.

QK the strip pits are fabulous. Don't have to drive far to run into them either. Found some on the back side of Mulberry taking the back roads to Farlington. These are long and every 1/4 mile they branch off to the east as far as you can see. Private land though. Might have to cozy up with those folks soon! How far is Newton from Pitt? We should meet up sometime.

 

[quivira kid]

2-1/2 hours or so... Bit of a drive, but yeah, those pits are awesome. A bunch of us are getting together mid-May to fly fish for gills down there. May have to give you a holler!
