Biofisher and I got July off to a hot start. The bigger crappie stayed away, but the little fish wore us out. We ended up with 25 keepers 10.25-11.5”. But we must have caught over 100 short crappie. Gary was keeping count at the beginning and

Decided to take a trip south of town today and fish Lake Sibley.
Caught a nice mixed bag before the rains chased me off the lake and even took a few pictures to share.
Got to keep up with my brother that cranks the Red

I returned to Madison County Lake today. The fish were scattered again and a little deeper, about 8 feet. I kept a limit and returned a limit plus of Crappie that were 13 to 14 inches. All fish came spider rigging 1 inch sliders on a 1/16 oz

A quick report of crappie fishing with two of my fishing buddies. Jay W and Gary, aka Biofisher. Both days we quit before 9:30 because of the heat and that is just how we roll in July and August.
My kids are home for their summer visit. My daughter, son in law and granddaughter, Isla, are in from Georgia and my son is in from Louisiana. Thursday was chosen as the day to take Isla out in Grampys boat, hopefully to catch a fish or two

I had to take advantage of the fine day we had here yesterday. Although it was hot at 88, the humidity was very low and comfortable with just a hint of a breeze. Perfect conditions for a trip to the pond to see what might be biting. I launched

July 1st, the beginning of the new fiscal year for the bean counters, and I can say that because my wife is one and she is busy as two beavers building a bonfire. With the day off, I employed a new rod, a couple old reliable ones and headed

Took out a rod today I don’t use very much. What a fine job it did! The TenRyu Lunakia 6’ 10” hybrid light game rod boated me about 2 dozen crappie....all at around or a little better than the 13 inch mark. In between the crappie caught quite

Some of the charter members of my fan club were in town this week. I had to work so Mom got to spend lots of time with them and they all had a grand old time. I made plans to take my number one Guppy and the Bluegillgirl out before it got hot.

It was beautiful when I first got there but shortly after a slow shower set in. After about four hours the shower was over and it RAINED. I pushed minnows 3-6' for almost 5 hours and only kept 12 good fish and one dink that wasn't going to

Long line trolled 1/8 oz jigs on beaver Saturday and Sunday. Fishing 13-20 Fow next to channel. Fish were super aggressive and wanted the jigs pulled fast. Mostly trolled 1.5 mph to 1.6. Kept a limit both days and released the rest. All

Okay, so it's mid/late June but I decided to do some longlining before the sun got up and drove them deep. The fish actually stayed in the top 8 FOW most of the time I was out. Took a buddy and his son out to MCL just to check it out. The

I haven't been fishing in just about a month. I started a new job about three weeks ago and have been taking some time to adjust. Now that I am settling I decided it was time to get back on the water. I had today off and was on the water by

The fun never ends in my family! The last month has been as busy as ever as we've celebrated the birth of our first son, several birthdays, and Father's Day. I'm proud to announce that Weston Derek Frick was born on 5/27/20 and tipped the scales

Of all the techniques used to catch crappie pushing is by far the most powerful. Heavy action rods, super strong braid fishing line with substantial leaders, weighty weights and big baitcasting reels to crank up the crappie once they bite. Amazingly even with all the bulky tackle crappie just can’t resist biting a crankbait being pushed.
