Great video. Thanks for showing the "stick guard". I had never seen one before.

I'm not too far from you here in Arkansas. Live just south of Batesville. I bet we fish some of the same water. Hope ya catch a bunch this year!

Very nice video, D-Ray! That Crappie at the end was definitely a "Grease Getter!"

Thanks for the tips on rigging. The Stick Guard tip was priceless, to me. I'm going to have to pick up some of those here before the spawn in Missouri. I'll bet they really are lifesavers.

Happy Slab Huntin', my friend!

Thanks for the (Stick Guard) tip that will help. You are catching some monster crappie. I will use a curley tail jig green & white mostly.

Great instructional! I just got back from Des Arc Bayou and sad to say the crappie didn't bite very good for me this week.  If anyone else is fishing the Bayou now and having any luck please share.
