Typically, I avoid fishing on weekends to yield to the weekend-warriors, but my 'itch to fitch' yielded to what was forecasted to be only a 3-4 hour effort. The weather-vane was showing the forecasted EASTERLIES that were promised!

I did get back out on Sunday. Same spot as Friday. Yes I took my tackle box this time. It was very slow. Maybe for some out of control kids running on the wood planks of the floating docks. All I can tell you is as soon as they all left with

Full moon officially tomorrow, but went today for a few hours, since I was pre-warned by county Res mgmt that a bass tournament (ugh) is underway tomorrow, first one since "covid". Over 20 boats on 380 acres - I'll stay home, and

They’re pretty elusive for me but I got lucky today. The first pic is my second ten inch gill this year. I’m officially a happy boy to meet him. Having the new reel to play with I had to go and see who was about. I didn’t take pics of all of

Took my grandson out this morning. We did pretty well, catching probably 45 fish and keeping 24 to clean. He proclaimed it his best day of fishing ever, so it was a big success for us.
Finally, a trip where more crappie were caught than anything else. Beautiful day here yesterday and I just knew it was going to be a nice night to be on the pond. Launched about 5:10 with the air temp at 83 and the water temp out on the pond

C1bigocarp is a friend of mine from Manchester TN. A friend you can trust with the keys to your house kind of friend. We fished together a good bit when I lived there and made a few excellent trips catching lots of fish. The man knew his stuff

To fish hair, or not to fish hair, that is the question
The question is do you fish a hair jig in the summer months? It’s hot and the majority of crappie have migrated to offshore, deep water habitat feeding on schools of shad that are aimlessly moving from place to place. It might surprise you what we learned about fishing hair jigs in the summertime.
Fishing gets a little sweeter with time.**Time on the water, that is…. Said it numbers of time in the past.**You can have all those bells and whistles out there on your boat but nothing is more valuable than time.**
Started out on one big lake, moved along the bank probing brush and ended w 10 good ones in about 40 minutes. Then buddyfrom mark twain called who wanted to fish her lake between us so went to ramp to meet him and a neighbor. Now these r two
