If I had taken the phone apps advice today I would have done most anything else. I’ve got a few days off and wanted to enjoy some mid week bliss so I was on the water by 7. Didn’t plan on a long stay and while it wasn’t stellar I had a good

To begin, the reel for my 6’ build came earlier this week and it’s been a long week waiting for the time to fool with it. I had doctors today and finished early so you know what’s coming. Having put the reel on the rod and spooled it with 100

I normally go to the clays club on Saturday mornings but decided on a change of pace this week and invited NiNo to go exploring with me and try some new to him techniques. He was all in and at my door at 6:30. After a Dunkin stop we dropped
...
But I’m glad I did. Spoke with NiNo this morning about 6:30 and I was supposed to shoot some clays. I needed to see him for a brief minute while he was ramp bound, and I got weak and postponed the clays til next weekend. Low to mid 50’s when

G’mornin. Just got a message from Nino, a friend who a couple of months ago had no idea what it was to fish for crappie and other panfish like we do. I have lit a fire by introducing him to this type of fishing that we all enjoy. He has the

I got out of work early so I ran an errand with my Queen and hooked up and went to my office. Cool temps, like mid sixties and a north wind with a bite. They were there and my lizard friends were working on their tans. Just a few pics before
...
I’ll have to sit in my hands to keep from waving at everybody!!! I met up with Slimjim and Nino at the ramp before seven with each of us in our own boats. The wind was forecast to be low at 4 and while it was low early on, it wasn’t 4. We all

It really isn’t but it’s the ramp from which I chase the local pet bluegills and such. The celebration is that they finally opened the ramp on Thursday. It’s been closed and unsafe since the hurricanes that went through months ago. Today was

Having spoken of fishing several times with a friend from the clay target club we both belong to, yesterday was the day to get it done. Nino has fished most of his life but mostly salt water and had never trolled fresh water like we do. We

My last treatment was yesterday and now I just have to be patient and heal as best I can. This morning I woke just a little early and had the boat already hooked up so I snuck out for a few after a quick bite. They’re always quick these days.
...
I had other reasons to go today, but I’ll get to that in a minute. A week ago a good friend and member had me over to enjoy the monster moon bluegill bite he was on. We made around 5 stops after meeting at first light. Heat drives everything
...
Slept in all the way til 5:30 and got some breakfast and a cup of coffee. Hooked up last night so I was all ready to go. Got on the water just about 7 to find green algae everywhere. Don’t remember seeing this in the past so I’m no help in

As life progresses, time becomes a hard commodity to find. My bestest fishin buddy told me it was time to go but we couldn’t stay long because she had to work later. I’ll take what I can get. In just after six and ran a little bit in the cool
...
I was up and my morning routine done, so off I went. Already hooked from the night before I was floating in mere minutes. Started slow but well, fish number three went in the box. Had it planned that if the fish cooperated I would keep about
...
But they weren’t to be found like I thought they would be. Nothing but 2lb today and mostly a 1/64 hand tie jig. My first spot usually gives up a good bull Gill or two at least. I had one medium sized Gill on til he turned near the boat and
