Cover Photo: when large quantities of shad

gorge on and store up fat for the winter. As the
Oklahoma crappie. water temperatures cool, the crappie follow the

This is a super time to pull crankbaits, jigs,
Rattle Traps, Thin Fishers and Road Runners
all of which I like to pull behind Offshore Tackle
Planner Boards…depth, area coverage and
speed can all be easily controlled.
As to the exciting news? CrappieNow and
the National Professional Anglers Association
(NPAA) are joining forces to share important
information, content and news concerning
legislative actions, and help promote
professional fishing attributes in the crappie
sport. Crappie fishermen need a united voice
concerning crappie fishing issues and potential
impacts to the sport. You may watch for this
news on the CrappieNow website, magazine
and social media. CrappieNow will also share
appropriate content with the NPAA members.
NPAA is a member of important legislative
committees and organizations that support
retaining our rights and privileges to fish in
public waters. They are NOT a political group
but watch and voice our opinions.
I have joined the NPAA and recommend
that all crappie anglers do so. It is not just for
tournament anglers but all anglers who love the
sport. You may join at www.NPAA.net. Tell them
that Dan sent you.

God bless and good luck fishing,
Dan
