I am leaving to lake crowley on thursday morning for 3 days of fishing. :banana:
Can't wait!!! :cart:
I am taking my Dad and a good friend for what I am hoping to be a trip I will always remember when my Dad is to old to go anymore.
I don't care much about myself catching fish, as much as my guests.
I plan on doing some trolling before we go to the dreaded threaded crawler. :dedhorse:
These are the lures I have to chose from. can you tell me which ones I should try and where. We have leadcore also.
Thanks in advance for all your input, and I will post a full and detailed report when I get back next monday.

I don't know about Crowley, but in general the pink and white mini-jigs/worms kill up there.

You need some more tackle boxes! :shock:

Good luck and let us know how it went. :D

For trolling the "Pink Passion" Mirashad, or "Flame" will be a good choice. Rainbow, CD 7 and jointed Rapalas are good. Bubblegum size 3 Needlefish work well.

Pearl white tube jigs for the perch.

And let's us not forget my signature trademark. The "Dreaded Threaded" crawler.

I'm there from Tuesday until Friday morning with a bunch of buddies. If I see you Friday morning or late Thursday night, I'll let you know what we caught fish on.

Out of your selection there, I would use the rapalas, TB's and needlefish because that is what I have had the most success with up there over the years.

I'm praying for crappy weather, but with no wind.

I just saw the video pstick. the problem for me is i can't paint. i have made wood lures before but i had to have some-one else paint them.
as for booking a trip with T.O. I wish!!!!!
i just bought the boat that i can't afford lol
i came close to booking last year. but just couldn't give up the cash, and settled for fishing from my float tube. all the tips i have learned form him and fear no trout just on this site i should pay them both. (the best i can do is to release most the trout i catch to be caught another day) and me and T.O. are practically neighbors he lives just a few miles down the road.
i see his truck on the road once in awhile around town.

CPR is a great start buddy. I push that like no tomorrow. I know what you mean about the boat you can't afford too. I am in the same boat :lol:

Take this from a lure maker, almost anything will work as long as the action is right. Put the lure in the right spot and fish it correctly and you will hook up. The Lipripperz spoons are the sht too. Even though I make my own I still buy stuff that I know is killer.

Hey fishfinder or anyone in the know,
Kinda new with the 3's and 5's. Which one of those is the mirashad? I have been looking for them in tackle shop stores but can't find them. Is it the one on the far right?
Thanks
