We have all experienced it. You go fishing in the fall and crappie refuse to bite. Not a nibble, strike or a bite. The crappie aren’t biting because of one thing and that’s shad.
Typically threadfin shad will spawn several times during the year. Threadfin shad will spawn first in the springtime followed by a second time around July and then once again sometime in September or early

Conditions seemed to be perfect for a good trip; upper 70's, pretty much calm winds, sun getting more and more hidden behind the haze from the fires out west, so I headed out from work an hour early to take advantage of it all. Launched about

Hadn’t seen a snake the time in the woods

Days are getting shorter, nighttime temps are getting cooler, yep, it’s Fall Y’all. My deep summer pattern is slowly drying up...literally. In about a month the spots I fish will be dry ground so I am trying to get a few last afternoon trips

Family obligations, property maintenance, and life in general has severely limited my crappie fishing this summer. We were still able to do our annual trip out West with a couple who loves the mountainous West as much as we do. This year our

It's been many moons since I visited a local lake that is right smack dab in the middle of the metroplex area . A really nice guy that I have known via the internet crappie forums for a very long time has invited me to hit the water with him

Started trolling acid rain this morning about 645am. It was a beautiful overcast morning here in Tallahassee, perfect crappie weather. The bite was slow until about 8am, only had 2 keepers by then. From 8 to 10 I managed to land 13 more for

Well I’ve been blanked of a limit thru dog days this year. I’ve blamed everything possible, even to the point of convincing da wife it was cause of my old trolling motor but even with the high tech ulterra up front fish just weren’t biting.

It all started with a phone call. Do you want to go to the Keys for some lobsters ?? When I asked. In 5 days he said. Great I said, I don't know how to dive. The next thing I know, I'm sitting in the pool with a tank strapped to my back

Monday before our trip was shortened by rain we got into the Lake Sturgeon. Well I did. Biggest was 34 lbs. Hubby couldn't get any.
All were released healthy. So we went back friday along with some friends. Well hubby showed me

Got there at day light, caught 2 fish on my first stop and didn't catch another fish till 8:30. I covered about 4 miles of water today running and gunning tree in the middle. Out of all the stops I made I caught 15 out of 20 fish on 2 trees

Been a while since I posted a report, partly because a couple weeks ago one of my 225 horses threw a shoe. Seems as if some braided fishing line ruined the rear seal around the prop and water got into the lower unit. Now when this happened

I think that I have finally figured out why Cuonthelake has been beating me so badly at crappie fishing the past three trips. She won today 5-0 on keepers, plus she caught a channel catfish but I had to hold it for the pic. She won’t touch

I have used trigger spins for years but the quality seems to just keep fading. I have switched to spinning reels and mini bait casters that I use trolling
My saint of a wife and I are taking the RV to Lake Dardanelle Oct. 16-20, and would love to scare up some crappie. I'm interested in using a guide, and
