Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted November 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Outdoor Writer said: Art?? It's akin to hunting deer over a pile of corn. So I shoud not be trolling for suspended crappie in November? Might be a little more involved than you think, but you should know that. You never did a story on Art Chamberlain, LeRoy Price or Rambo? They were the crappie kings of Roosevelt 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were the crappie kings of Roosevelt Obviously, you can troll anytime you wish. It doesn't change any of my thoughts about trolling. And yes, I've fished with Kurt several times. I've interviewed Art but not Leroy. Is Art still kicking??? And before you ask, we never trolled, just plain ol' jigging Berkley Power Grubs. This one wound up as a cover from 'researching' with Rambo for "Crappie 101" article.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a neat metal sculpture of a crappie on the wall in my office that Kurt gave me. I don't believe he made it, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's also a good way to keep a lure in the pond while eating lunch. The most boring trolling is using a down-rigger as I did for lake trout at a DIY lodge in the Yukon one time. It was the only way to get an edible lure really deep, like in the 60' range. But I managed to catch a few lakers over 25 lbs. that way. The one on my wall was 34#. Now, I'm racking my brain trying to remember who Roy West is????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was part of an ethics committee that had to toss him out of the Outdoor Writers Assoc. of American for his poaching conviction many, many years ago. He died about 5 years ago, I think.

Just kidding, I don't have one. I fish and just want to put a honest report on this forum with details. If Tony is against trolling in November for crappie, I won't bother. Don't matter to me 1 bit.
