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.
Crappie are good on juglines, drifing minnows and jigs at 10-15 ft. around brush structure. Blue and channel catfish are fair on cut bait and shad at 15-20 ft. along the flats. Largemouth bass are fair on crankbaits at 6-10 ft. around points.
