Set out to log in some more Withlacoochee apprenticeship hours today but as the morning progressed, unexpected, menacing clouds were making their way from the SW. Not bringing any raingear, I decided to carry on with business anyway. After

Swish!! My Withlacoochee River search-time efforts have finally yielded the species that prove, at least this time of year, ghostly. With water temps consistently 80-83 degrees the sweet smell of achievement has now availed itself.

Went out yesterday again in a storm of boaters who may or may not be safe and responsible. Water was churned into a froth, weird waves coming from all directions. I am still intent on catching and releasing 1000 crappie this year.

Today I got to have the pleasure of having Skeetbum on my boat. He had once mentioned that he would like to see what I do when I go after sunshine bass. So this morning we were able to get together and hit the river.
Catching crappie during the spawn was simple. Find the cover and you would find the crappie. Really no sonar unit needed, however, more and more anglers are using Garmin LiveScope to assist with locating and catching crappie.
Now the majority of crappie have moved to offshore habitat like brush piles, standing timber, man made structure or boat docks.

...heres the skinny on my weekend of fishing.
Saturday I hit the lake @ 7AM and fished until 11AM. I caught a total of 70 crappie but in the last hour of fishing I only caught 5 with only a couple big enough to keep. Total I kept was

Between the weather systems Friday & Saturday & church services online, Sunday has become a early morning option.....so I decided to check an old haunt lake Harney. No problem social distancing as I was the only 1 trolling the entire

We all hear about epic battles with a fish from time to time. I’m here to publicly state that I will never doubt what I hear about a fight that a fish has given. I’m going to keep it as short as I can. After a good day yesterday and no nap,

Sometimes you hit them big. Yesterday was one of those Big days. The size was great and the number was also great. We had many big slab doubles. So many were 15-16 inch. The hits just kept coming. We left with 90 on the counter and all were

I have a pond i go to from time to time that has some giant crappie in it. There aren't many but i don't think i've ever caught one under 14-15" there. I assume they aren't spawning successfully or something. I typically catch them bass

Yesterday was a pretty special for my wife and I. We had three generations of our family on the boat with us and we managed to find some fish. Something we did a lot in past years is a very rare treat for us as the kids and grandkids get older

Another awsome day on the lake. Wife and I caught our limit. Strictly catch and release from this point on. Our freezer and family are stocked up. The morning started off slow but picked up as it went along. Some pics of how it started out.

Went in the morning by myself.....well followed Clownfish who beat me to the ramp. Not very good managed 5 and lost at least that many more. They were just knocking it out of their way. Cold Weather, Rain or maybe Joedog messed up the catching?
