So I have a fellow CDC friend in the area and we decided to chase the elusive crappie Fri night. Got out and set up just before dark and then the fun began in my boat at least. My friends were within yelling distance were on the fish but not

The "bite window" rule .
For years I have told friends and others about this simple but yet very effective way to secure crappie .

After two butt cold days with 20+ mph winds we got out yesterday, fished the pads and thick stuff. The morning bite was good on orange 32nd ounce jigs tipped with gulp alive minnows and a good spritz of Slabsauce best fish for the day was a

Me and my lady drove 8 hours to some warmer temps over the weekend. After last year’s February trip to Talquin, we were looking forward to getting back down for some big crappie. This time the numbers weren’t there but the quality certainly

Me and my friends Edsel Price, Johnny Pearce, Dennis Linn, and Tim Rowland went down to Georgia Boys Fish Camp Sunday. In the worst conditions I have ever seen, we caught fish and good fish. Old Men rule!

It was a great event. Especially cause I didn't have to do much. I rented the pavilion, and got a cooler full of cold drinks for everyone, but that was about it.

Aiming to log some additional water time on Lake Griffin for this Sunday's Bill Bobalooza Crappiefest, I had an opportunity to punch in @ daybreak. The predicted wind forecast was on target with gusts nearing 30 mph. Protected shorelines are

It was a little bit cold when we first launched the boat, and didn’t warm up much either while Dr Phil and I were fishing the Tail waters of Watts Bar, plus all 5 turbines running and 10 floodgates open and the flow rate a healthy 69,994 cfs

I’ve been waiting patiently for this time of year. It has been almost 3 months since the last I caught any crappie. Finally they started moving in but still a tad too far to reach unless I take the boat out or use lures that can reach them.

Had a pretty good day out on Lake Beresford long line trolling plastics in the am yesterday. Both light and dark colors were productive as they were very cooperative. Boated roughly 40 and kept 20 who fit my 11 inch minimum to distribute
