Jeff and I took a trip down to Delton today to fish Crooked Lake. We both had to work in the morning so we didn't get there until close to 11:00. We were the only trailer in the lot.
Our first stop was a small cut that had flooded

I made a solo trip to D'arbonne today. The weather man told me it was 27 degrees with 1 mph winds when I launched shortly after daylight. I dropped the trolling motor and started working the channel, fishing 15-20 feet down using a double rig,

With winter quickly closing in on us Northerners, Jeff and I decided to take what may very well be our last open water, Michigan fishing trip of the year. The weather genius was calling for winds 5-10 out of the east with morning

Or maybe we both needed it. Jeff has been down for a few weeks with a recovering knee and I hadn't been in a boat since mid August. A therapy trip to the Beats-a-Tent, my shack near Six Lakes, was just what the doctor ordered. We drove up mid

As fishermen, we dream of the days when everything seems to work out perfectly. Perfect weather, perfect wind and fish that are more than happy to do their part. Today was one of those days for me and Jeff. We were on the water by 7:30, greeted

Weather man said rain today so we figured on working. Got up to warm dry weather with no rain in sight so we went fishing instead. We went back to Caney Lake to look for some more red ears and bluegills.
Met Steve this morning at Swedes Diner in Mulliken to fuel up for our first ice fishing trip of the 2017-18 season. -9 when I got there at 7:50 and I was wondering what was wrong with our heads. Nobody should be fishing in that kind of weather.

Got out on Lake D'arbonne today with my buddy, Mel. We got on the water at the Hwy 33 launch about 7am. It wasn't long before Mel got a crappie on a shiner minnow and shortly after that I caught a bar fish on a jig

Steve and I headed down to Middle Lake this morning hoping to get into a few fall crappie. The weather was beautiful, high 50's at daylight with a steady breeze. Steve had never been on this lake before so he was counting on me to put him on
