My Grandson Austin loves to fish and when his 8th Grade Class Trip to Disney World fell apart my good friend "Going Catching" invited us up to his campsite at Toledo Bend. Austin was so pumped not because he has been to Disney over

I’ve read I lot about planer boards and thought it has to be hard or too complex to run them. I researched quite a few different brands and makes of planer boards but decided Off Shore’s boards looked like the best, compact, float and reversible.

Crappie anglers will also be focused on lures, rods, reels, boats and electronics. I don’t blame them. It seems like new products are constantly being released. You can also include brakes for boats in the mix of new products.
Before we dive into the new brakes I saw let’s explain why crappie brakes are so important for crappie anglers. Although, I said important for crappie anglers you don’t have

Made a trip to Cypress Lake yesterday pulling my favorite Bandit 300’s . Lake did not disappoint and caught 18 crappie , 2 cats , and 1 green trout . No fish were harmed with my Livescope , just too windy to use . Here are a few pictures .

Just returned from our annual walleye fishing trip to Canada. Traditionally we fish for the spring walleye with a small crappie hair jig tipped with a minnow or leach slowly retrieved along the bottom.
Despite the wind, I headed out with the goal of putting some fish in the cooler for a fish dinner this holiday weekend. I'd hoped 870 would ride along but he has home AC troubles that need solving.
I had lines in the water just before

You probably have tackle boxes full of deep diving and squarebill crankbaits just for trolling in the summertime. Numerous vibrant, eye-catching patterns to natural shad or sunfish crankbait patterns make selecting the right one to troll challenging on some days; in addition to having to factor in weather, sun light and water clarity.
You ever get so in the moment that you never think to pull out the picture taking device and miss one opportunity after another to get some beautiful fishy pictures… that would be me yesterday! I guess my fishing has been so limited this year

After getting all my work done about noontime, I took a chance that 870 would be recovering from his full belly Saturday and might be in the mood to take a jaunt and gave him a call. He called back shortly to say yes and plans were made to

Didn’t wake up til 7 and had to shake the work week off before I went anywhere. With the boat hooked and rods already loaded it was an easy thing once I found the energy. Left the house about 8:30 which is dangerously late with the crazy weekend

I was scheduled to be working a lot of overtime this week but things changed and I was able to find some time to fish. The weather has been great here for a couple of days. This morning when I set out the air temp was 20 degrees warmer than
