No boat rides lately and everyone knows you are done on crappie in the dead of the summer off the bank .
I been told a many a times things like , just wait until it gets hot and lets just see if you can still tear them up off the bank

My wonderful wife allowed me to take J-Bird fishing this morning on her birthday. Jay and I had a so so 4 hours of crappie fishing. 7 keepers, a couple of short fish and a Blue catfish that was pushing 8 pounds. We forgot to take a pic of the

Today’s forecast was rain after 3 so I finished my Granddaughters pancake breakfast and came home and hooked up. Didn’t start til 11 and figured I’d get a few and I wasn’t disappointed. Only caught 7 or 8 I think but it was enough for me. Home

This morning I got up early and headed to a local creek in Arkansas. I went further up stream that I have ever been. Flow is really low now (~20 cfs) and makes it ideal for using finesse tactics while wade fishing. I used the Yamaga Blanks

What a beautiful day! Walt & I hit the Quabbin once again, launching around 7:45 am. Air temp was a refreshing 55 degrees for a change. After 3 days in the 90 degree heat wave, it was a welcomed change indeed. Water was up around 82 degrees

After a hot, stressful day yesterday, I decided to head over to the pond and wet a line and depressurize a bit. Hit the water about 5:30 and called it a night around 7:30. I had no interest in cleaning fish last night so all were returned for

Went straight out for big gills today, didn't even bother with the elusive crappie. Once again, no bruisers, but I got into good numbers again, and even a couple that pushed the 15oz mark.
My wife and I hit Cataract this morning and fished until about noon. No giants, but ended up with 28 nice crappie from 11- 12 1/2 inches, and several throw backs. Water was around 86 and pretty dirty.
A new pond! Walt & I checked out a pond we hadn't fished for years. Not a big pond mind you, about 70 acres. Lots of summer homes along the shoreline and not a great launch. But we've heard it has some decent crappie in it. We only had

Hit the water about 5:20 and made 2 complete passes of my trolling pattern/area without hooking a single fish. Water temp was about 78, air temp about the same. Sort of surprised me; I figured it would have been a great night for getting some

Went to Conroe and managed to land 11 crappie with 10 being over 11" up to 13". I never caught one throw back. Used smallest jigs available 1/16 oz with a 1.5" to 2" plastic bait with crappie nibbles. They did not want to

Back to the basics. I took yesterday off (needed a mental break) and went to my favorite Ozark stream and fished for smallmouth. I used a new to me rod that a good buddy basically gave me. A Favorite Rods Jackhammer. It is a 7’ medium action

on my to do list for quite some time. Four years ago, I was afforded the opportunity to enjoy yet another facet of my fishing diversity. I was gifted a kayak by my brother in North country who couldn't enjoy the fun but rigorous efforts of
