It’s early. Way too early to be awake, but the ringing from your cell phone is coercing you to get up. Normally you lay in bed hitting the snooze button, but this morning you jump out of bed in anticipation of your first crappie tournament.
Every angler that’s ever fished in a crappie tournament knows that excitement they feel before each and every tournament. Each and every angler anticipates catching the

Decided to give the hot summer mornings here in the capital district another shot. Have gone a few times between my last post and this morning, but just haven’t been able to put my finger on em. Been getting on the water around 6:30-7 and just

It seems that Biofisher brings out the best in the crappie bite. We had a before daylight start and fished until 8:30 with 12 keepers landed and 3 other big crappie pulling off at the net. Bummer. One looked tarp sized. The first one that I

After running errands all morning, I checked the weather and decided an afternoon siesta and then a trip to the pond would be a good way to spend the rest of my Saturday. I'm glad I waited as we began to get some intermittent cloud cover and

I made a short trip to Madison County Lake today fishing from daylight until lunch. The fish were scattered on bait fish schools 6 to 8 feet deep. I spider rigged 5 poles with 1" sliders on 1/16oz jig heads keeping 14 and returning 6 larger

I had the pleasure of taking a couple of my friends, Dana and Joe, fishing this morning. Dana arrived a couple of minutes early and was helping me get everything ready to go. As we finished up, I received a text from Joe explaining that his

Somebody forgot to tell the fish that crappie don’t bite in the summer time. Gary and I had a great 4 hours of fishing although from the 6:15 start, it was slow to almost nonexistent as the first three places were void of any fish activity.

Being the middle of the week, I took a chance that the new pond might not be quite as busy in the evening as it was on a bright, sunny, warm Sunday afternoon. I was correct, as there were no other boats out, and just an older couple lounging

New to the forum and somewhat new to crappie fishing.
Spent a day on the water last week in the capital area. Myself and a buddy took the kayaks out originally hunting some bass/perch but the bite was slow. Started casting into

To start with YES I hammered the fish at a different lake from the shore yesterday at high noon . I even used the same jig I had tied on from the day before !
These fish were much like the fish at the other lake , 8 foot of water

My wife, Wanda, told me that we were in dog days. She didn’t say that I was a dog for fishing so much. Big Grin. I made her happy by bringing home 4 keeper sized bass, 15.5-17” and they are destined for the dinner plate tonight. Boss Lady has
