How do you find crappie in late winter.?

I am an avid fisherman and regularly catch all species of fish both fresh and saltwater.It is early Februrary and catching fish now is very difficult.Typically I find crappie here in Mississippi in November bunched up in deep water with my electronics and load the boat.This goes on through December but by January they seem to dissapear.I covered the entire lake yesterday with trolling motor pulling jigs at all depths and did,nt even get one single bump or notice hardly any arches on my fishfinder.I,m thinking thier in some kind of transition phase but my electronics are telling me thier not there.Do they bury up in the mud or hide under the hydrilla or what.I dont know.Please help me unlock this mystery or I going to have to take up hunting.

Where can I find a fly fishing starter kit, books, etc.?

My dad wants fly fishing stuff for christmas but I know nothing about it. He has never done it before and wants to learn. Price isnt really a concern (up to $200 at least). Where can I go to find some info on what to get for someone that wants to start doing this? (Direct links to supplies I can order offline will be much appreciated).

How to find something in the water?

I need to find my sunglasses (very expensive) in about 20 ft of water. It’s a little dark until you dive down but there’s no way I can cover the general area and it also hurts my ears a bit. The bottom is mostly sand with a little seaweed. I was thinking a fishfinder but that only finds floating things… Can anyone give me some more ideas? Thanks

Top this Joke! Fish For Dinner! If yours is funnier, 10 pts. Star if you find this funny!?

The parish priest went on a fishing trip.

On the last day of his trip he hooked a monster fish & proceeded to reel it In.

The guide, holding a net, yelled, “Look at the size of that Son of a B!*ch!”

“Son, I’m a priest. Your language is uncalled for!”

“No, Father, that’s what kind of fish it is – a Son of a B!*ch fish!”

“Really? Well then, help me land this Son of a B!*ch!”

Once in the boat, they marveled at the size of the monster.

“Father, that’s the biggest Son of a B!*ch I’ve ever seen”

“Yes, it is a big Son of a B!*ch.. What should I do with it?”

“Why, eat it! Of course. You’ve never tasted anything as good as Son of a B!*ch!”

Elated, the priest headed home to the rectory.

While unloading his gear & his prize catch, Sister Mary inquired about his Trip.

“Take a look at this big Son of a B!*ch I caught!”

Sister Mary gasped & clutched her rosary, “Father!”

“It’s OK, Sister. That’s what kind of fish it is, a Son of a B!*ch fish!”

“Oh, well then, what are you going to do with that big Son of a B!*ch?”

Sister Mary informed the priest that the new Bishop was scheduled to visit In a few days and that they should fix the Son of a B!*ch for his dinner.

“I’ll even clean the Son of a B!*ch,” she said..

As she was cleaning the huge fish, the Friar walked in.

“What are you doing Sister?”

“Father wants me to clean this big Son of a B!*ch for the new Bishop’s Dinner”

“Sister! I’ll clean it if you’re so upset! Please watch your language!”

“No, no, no, it’s called a Son of a B!*ch Fish.”

“Really? Well, in that case, I’ll fix up a great meal to go with it, and That Son of a B!*ch can be the main course!

Let me know when you’ve finished cleaning that Son of a B!*ch.”

On the night of the new Bishop’s visit, everything was perfect..The Friar Had prepared an excellent meal.

The wine was fine, and the fish was excellent.

The new Bishop said, “This is great fish, where did you get it?”

“I caught that Son of a B!*ch!” proclaimed the proud priest.

“And I cleaned the Son of a B!*ch!” exclaimed the Sister.

The Friar added,” And I prepared the Son of a B!*ch, using a special recipe!

The new Bishop looked around at each of them.

A big smile crept across his face as he said,

“Awrightttttttttttttt “,
“You f@ckers are my kind of people”!
