Too bad it's a school night or not my shootout night

[Scott K]

Huh, there might be something to this??

Oh and it looks as though you are back in the game!

I think its a very intriguing idea. Very creative as well.

I'll volunteer to run a rod without one as a control if needed.

You look alittle red...you not wear sun screen?

Nice work Dtro...got a girth on that big boy?

[Whisker Warrior]

I like this idea very much....which size were you using dtro??? 7/8, 1", 1 1/4....i found a 5pk for $2.50 and if they dont work i have new crappie bobbers

[MinnesnowtaWild]

I definitely like this idea...may try it out sometime. Any way that the rattling could ward off Cats or are they attracted to it like other fish?

look out kitty cats Dtro's back

I think he found out the hard way.

Yeah, you’ll see who’s back when I share some of the hilarious pictures I snapped trying to get a decent one by myself. You’d think I’d never taken a picture before.

I’ve been so not confident lately that I hadn’t bothered to set up my tripod in my boat. Well, it’s basically too late after setting the hook and I can’t waste the time after it’s boated, so in a pinch a milk crate on the front boat seat will work.

Some shots turn out pretty funny, especially when you think the self timer is on, and then it’s not. Talk about deer in headlights.

In case the rest of you haven't noticed, dtro is sitting at 192.5 points and is pretending to be a Sleeper Cell ready to pounce. He is one or two nice fish away from the Green and has been building up some steam the last few nights. If you want to hold on to your Flathead Leaderboard spot you best start fishing because I'm warning you, Darren is coming on.

[Shack]

I agree Steve. All it takes is one night and the leader board can change big time and Dtro should never be ruled out. I have no doubt green could be had by him after tonight (if he is going out).

[DTro]

To be honest with you -

I'll be happy to finish in the 200pt club, that has been my goal all along. It's not an easy feat and takes 3 very nice fish to get there.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

I'm one fish away from dropping out of the green but I'm just happy to be where I am this year so oh well...sure would be nice though!

[wastewaterguru]

Green.....

I am now a long way from the green.....

I get to see alot of nice fish caught......just rarely by me.

DTRO better bring some of those bobber for me next time we get out.

[Gordie]

the green and yellow thing works I can say that much now if I can just hook up with them.

[Scott K]

Where does one buy these things?

[Fazerfish]

I was just at Cabelas, they had a pack of 3 for$1.99. I bought a pack, then noticed that the Mr. Crappie logo was the same one I use as my Avatar, after a double take and a chuckle, I loaded my cart full of them, must be a sign from the catfishing gods

Thanks Dtro, now if I can only catch a cat to use as my avatar, I'm sure it will be because of the green..

[DTro]

I lost my one and only last night to the snag gods. I'm going to go stock up tonight hopefully.

It's a confidence thing now I guess and I might be a little superstitous.

[SteveD]

You better get a bunch - they work pretty good. I put one on my leader early this morning and picked up a nice 26# (38" X 23.5") flathead. My line went in the water at 0444 and I had "Fish On" at 0451. That was my only fish and he was on that bullie fast.

Scott I can stop and grab some for you if you want then I 'll drop them off at Virgels
