Honey hole for crappie - easy to create your own

Crappie frequent structure. If you prepare correctly you can prepare your own crappie "honey holes" .The key is to create crappie holding areas that only you have the location. You can sink brush, plastic and even home made pvc brush piles. The very best brush to sink is "willow tree" braches. They seem to create month long crappie honey hole swarms, I am not sure why, it just my experience. Make sure you cut long cuttings with at least 7 to 10 branches at least 3 foot long with lots of small little branches. Sink you branch cuttings or any of the other artificial structure you plan to sink, with a cement block or something heavy so it sinks directly below where you put it in the water. Also , the brush won't shift if it is anchored down. I always use a cement block with a short rope about 2ft long, tied to the main cut branch. Crappie are just like bass they like to sit in cover structure and wait for their prey.

The best time to create your crappie honey hole is in the fall and very early spring (right after ice out).

For best results create your crappie brush farms in three different depth locations. Mark your locations to sink brush in the shallows, mid depth locations, and deeper water. Make sure you find a spot that is not easily fished. Make sure you drop your brush when no fisherman are watching. If your honey hole gets a lot of fishing pressure the crappie may move out to other fishing locations. I always look for places that would not interest casual boaters. You are probably asking why? Well by using three different locations you create crappie honey holes for different parts of the fishing season. I you can find a spot where the bottom starts deep and gradually goes to shallows you can build your three locations inline. Just mark each location with a GPS point, that way you can come back again and again without wasting any precious fishing time. If you have young children this is an excellent way to get them interested in fishing. Kids are impatient, but if you take them to a honey hole where the action is almost instant, you will nurture their interest in a wonderful sport.

This technique will work no matter where you are located at. Crappie love brush and structure as their habitat no mater what part of the country you live in. Make sure you check with your local laws to find out what is legal to sink for structure.

If you are ready to catch a regular batch of crappie whenever you go out fishing then get out and create your crappie honey hole now! Good luck with your fishing see you later.

How to wash moisture block out of my hair?

Used a sample of moisture block from Sabino....put it on my hair while wet and blow dried with a brush on the back of my hair and then on the front just let air dry. Flat ironed all of it. However part of the back revert back after two days. Then I decided to wash my hair and just twist it. However now my hair doesn't want to go back to its very curly coarse wavy state. The product says it was shampoo soluble...but I have washed it 6 times and still is not reverting back. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?

I've never heard of such a thing, so did a search for it. Here is what I found:
http://www.hairproducts4me.com/order+moisture+block.htm

"Remember that Moisture Block™ is not water-soluble", but it says: "Use Moisture Block™ after every shampoo."

Well, I don’t understand that one! I'm not sure how you get it out, if you can't shampoo it out. There are clarifying products and strippers that you can use to clean everything off your hair, but I'm not sure whether those will work on this or not.

However, I don't feel that this product is at fault. It may, partly, in that it is preventing water from getting into your hair. It's moisture that will make your hair revert to curly, wavy, or straight. If that is not happening, it could be stopping it. But it could also be that you have over-heated your hair when you straightened it the last time. You CAN over-do it with the heat implements, and you will create permanent changes in the hair structure. That is how they used to do permanent waves long ago. You could have straightened your hair when your irons were too hot.

Will your hair ever go back to how it was? I can't say definitely. I suspect that it won't. When in doubt about any product, always go back to the manufacturer or at least the seller. There has to be an answer for this. Ask them.
