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.
We kept our limit of 25 each and threw back another 20-30. 12 foot rods w/ spinning reels. White braid line 20# test. 1/4 oz jigs tipped with minnows. Several things stood out to me. I would have thought crappie would have

I had a routine dental appointment this morning so Candi and I got out later than we would normally this time of year, but what we lacked in numbers, we more than made up for in quality fish. We had 2.5 hrs of fishing time and 20-30 minutes

I can’t believe she wanted to go again. We got to Woodsons Landing at first light and got in line for the parade of boats, or should I say the boat show. All brand new nice and shiny. Fished Bayou Saline today pulling 6 different colors crank

After a long and stressful work week I hit the bank of my local lake with no boat, one ultra light rod and reel, two jigs (spare just in case), a small container of weinie chunks, a jar of crappie nibbles, and no cooler! Keepin it simple and

Safer is at home but 4 months away from the Grand-babies is difficult. Daughter and son in law have been working from home and being very meticulous with the girls in VA, as have we in our endeavors in TN, but a road trip by us this weekend

As much as we may agree to disagree on things, it’s because I know we are cut from the same cloth. We’re both stubborn, strong willed, and when we go at something we do it with y’all of our hearts. He taught me a love for the outdoors, how
