Absolutely, I didn't know there was anything else. All kidding aside. I will very rarely fish for crappie just to get a mess to fry. I also tried ice fishing for the first timethis year and while it was pretty fun, by NO means did it beat sitting on the lake in my SKEETER on a warm spring evening and watching a 5lb bass bust to the surface and inhale a buzzbait.Just my .02. To each his own. I was born and bred a bass fisherman. And no other kind of fishing will ever give me the enjoyment and gratification that bass fishing does.
