In 2012 I made about $50k. In 2011 around $40k. Next year I will make $0k when all my editors fire me. (Update: Tax returns arenât in yet, but Iâd estimate around $65-70k for 2014 a year in which I also turned down and a couple of staff jobs for significantly more money). Iâd say I do about 50/50 print/web stuff now. Print still pays much better. Longer, reported features obviously take a lot longer to do than blog posts, and still, for the most part, the difference in pay is worth it. Some stories I might work on for a couple weeks and make only $500 bucks. Sometimes Iâll spend 3 minutes on a blog post and make $50.
Best Answer: Crappie are very good eating. Most people like them fried. You can use almost any kind of breading. Bass Pro sells a mixture, but some grocery stores (especially those near fishing areas) carry a brand called Andy's. There are various levels of spice. Personally I like to blend the original and the spicy together. Soak the fillets in milk for a couple of seconds them cover them in the breading mix.
This is especially true if you are unfamiliar with the water you want to fish. Just because the crappie eat grasshoppers in Illinois, does not mean that the crappie in Georgia will feed on grasshoppers. If you want to fish a specific water, ask around and see what everyone has to say about the locations and the bait.
