Many anglers make crappie fishing out to be something as complicated as rocket science. This doesn’t have to be the case. Crappie fishing is actually quite simple and fun, especially for those of us without the luxury of a boat. I know, not having a boat can seem like a big pain in the butt, and we all wish we had one, but not having a boat can actually make things a lot easier and much less expensive. The first thing that needs to be done is to locate your local fishing pier. Many lakes and/or reservoirs have man mad fishing piers and there has usually been structure sunk under the water around such piers. If there are Crappie present in the body of water, they can be caught around such piers. Your local bait shop should have all the information that you could ever need about individual piers.

Once you’ve located your pier, you’ll only need a few things in order to catch Crappie effectively. These things would include: 2 lanterns, a length of rope long enough to reach the water while on the pier, a variety of jigs, a variety of small bobbers, small hooks (preferably gang hooks), some split shot sinkers, and a minnow bucket. The idea here is to fish mainly live minnows and to do this fishing at night. Hence the reason for 2 lanterns, 1 for light on the pier and one to hang off of the pier above the water.

Once you arrive at the pier, tie the rope to one of the lanterns and light it. Now lower it over the pier, so it’s hanging right above the water. This will attract bugs and bait fish, which will in turn attract Crappie. You’re next step is to rig a bobber and small hook onto your line. A small hook (size 6 or works fine, but I suggest rigging a set of gang hooks. A set of gang hooks is simply 2 hooks that are tied together. For crappie fishing I suggest size 8 or 10 gang hooks. As far as your bobber, you’re going to want to experiment with the depth. Start with your minnow being about 3 to 4 feet below the bobber. Now simply rig a live minnow onto your hook (s) and lower it into the water. If you’re using gang hooks, as you should be, simply hook the top hook through the minnow’s lips and leave the bottom hook free. The important thing to remember is that you want your minnow to be alive. A dead minnow won’t catch anything. This is why baiting them through the lips is so effective. The minnow is hardly harmed at all.

At this point you wait for a Crappie to bite. The bobber will start moving when a crappie is interested. Remember to use a small bobber, so the Crappie doesn’t feel much resistance. You want the bobber to be as easy as possible to pull under. While you’re waiting for Crappie to bite the live minnow, you can be jigging with another rod. This is an effective tactic. Many times Crappie can be caught jigging a small jig. The small jig can be tipped with a live minnow as well for added presentation.

Just remember Crappie fishing isn’t rocket science and a boat normally isn’t necessary either. Follow the simple instructions laid out in this article and you’ll have a cooler full of Crappie in no time flat. As we all know, this is why we fish for Crappie. We fish for Crappie to eat them. They are widely known as being an absolutely delicious species of fish.

I am fortunate to be living in a region of Australia with one of the richest Aboriginal cultures and a living history. North East Arnhem land in the Northern Territory is located at the confluence of the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpenteria. As an Avid Astronomer I am always on the lookout for an opportunity to share the night sky with others. This day the two came together in a beautiful symmetry.

Sharing the delights of North East Arnhem land with Visitors is always a satisfying experience in it self. A crystal clear stream teaming with beautiful fish, bush land alive with the sound and movement of tropical birds and lunch shared with friends really sets the scene well.

Follow this up with a lazy afternoon on a white sandy beach cradled by Ochre red cliffs with a backdrop of Coastal Rain forest and you have to wonder can it get any better than this!

The final stop for the day was to be the open Coastal plain known as Macassans (local spelling) Beach. Fringed with Casuarina trees that seemed to sing in the wind, as the dry season sea breeze whistled through their pale green pine like leaves.

To put you in the picture, the Aboriginal people of NE Arnhemland are called the Yolngu People, The Language is Known as Yolngu Mata. Not all the words in their language originate from our shores though. The Makassan people of Sulawesi (now part of Indonesia) had been trading with the Yolngu people 200 years before Australia was even colonized by Europeans. The Makassan’s have had a material influence on the Yolngu People including the addition of many words to their already rich language.

We had just finished looking at the “Macassan” stone drawings, a very significant site for the local Yolngu people. http://www.nt.gov.au/nreta/heritage/ntregister/declared/display.html?wurrwurrwuy

I looked up (as you do often when you are an astronomer!) and there the IIS was, high overhead and bright as can be. The ISS was traveling from North West to South East and was as bright as the Planet Jupiter. It was only afterwards that I made the link with the Makassan people sailing on their annual trading journey to the Yolngu homelands in NE Arnhem land, coming from the northwest into the southeast . Just as the ISS had done before our eyes, high above the stone pictures of the arriving Makassan ships, laid down in the late 18th Century!

What a contrast the ISS is to the Makassan sailing ships of old that plied a trade with the Yolngu people 200 years before Europeans were even in this country, let alone flying through space.

Yet the similarities are still there, people of different races bought together through a knowledge of the stars. For surely the Makassan ’s must have navigated their way here by the position of the stars and the Yolngu people anticipated their arrival by their own celestial calendar. Just as the ISS brings people of all Nations together in the pursuit of Space Science, as we work out our own place in the universe. With ever more accurate distances plotted to stars in our galactic neighborhood and an insatiable desire to discover a habitable planet around another star.

The “Macassan” Pictures and the passage of the ISS was a real treat for everyone present and one that will be remembered for a long time to come. Keep looking up, you never know what you might see!

Specifically, I recall that at least one shuttle mission years ago had a husband and wife on the team.

I’ve often wondered if they conducted “experiments” in the weightless environment of earth orbit that involved, well, you know…

It DOES seem to be a natural thing to experiment on, especially with talk of manned Moon bases and Mars trips.

Any ideas friends?
When I say “well, you know”, I mean copulate!

If you watch any sort of commercial television, you’ve probably stumbled upon an infomercial for a device called the Ab Rocket. In the infomercial they show you a bunch of very good looking men and women who swear by the AbRocket and claim that it’s the reason they got their flat and sexy stomach.

But does the Ab Rocket really work or is it a scam? I haven’t used this machine, and I want to make that clear, so I have no idea whether it works or not. However, I just don’t see how it can do all that it’s supposed to because it only takes care of one aspect of the process which is necessary to get a flat stomach: the exercise part.

The other aspect is the nutritional one. Simply put, you can’t lose belly fat is your nutrition is bad, and I don’t care how great the workouts which the Abs Rocket provides. The truth is that it’s well known that you can’t spot reduce fat. This means that if you just work your abs, which is all this machine does, you still burn fat proportionally from all over your body. You may develop the stomach muscles, but you won’t be able to burn that stubborn layer of belly fat which covers them up.

Therefore, it is my opinion that the Ab Rocket, or any other abs workout machine, won’t be enough to give you the kind of abs you truly desire. To do that, you need to workout right and most of all follow a sound nutrition plan.

If you want to workout with this machine then by all means do so. If it gives you motivation to exercise then it’s worth it. But, make sure to learn how and what you need to eat in order to really get to the core of the problem which is the excess belly fat that you’re carrying.
