It was a hot crappie bite this morning for Gary, aka Biofisher, and I as it was 78 degrees at 6 am when we launched the boa in a heat wave. Our intention was to fish hard until nine am and put the boat back on the trailer. Mission accomplished.

I took Phil for his first crappie fishing trip this year. We did good for the conditions. We didn’t catch any slab crappie but we did have a limit of keepers, all males with their beautiful spawning colors on. We probably caught 4 short crappie

I knew that it was going to happen sooner or later, but I finally left the tailwaters in order to see if I remembered how to catch a crappie. It is just like riding a bicycle. For the first 30 minutes or so of our 3 hour trip, I wanted to scout

My high school teacher friend, Biofisher is on Christmas break and wanted to bluegill fish, so we paused our tailwater fishing for Stripers in order to see if some bigger gills could be found and caught. We used Catawba worms that I had frozen

I got Dr Phillip Gawthrop out of the woods long enough to make a short trip up to Watts Bar tailwaters and check out the fish and conditions. Conditions were perfect for December 5th with 15,000 cfs flowing through 3 turbines, cloudy skies

All that Candi has talked about for the last 2-3 weeks was catching a TARP sized crappie on her vacation, and she started vacation yesterday, so I got her out at the crack of dawn(or before), and put her on a big fish hole.
You have to admire someone, especially a female that will sit and fish in the rain with you. It wasn’t supposed to rain this morning according to our lying radar and weatherman, so Candi didn’t bring her raincoat.

Four days into the new year and my first catch of the new year was a bluegill. I took Cuonthelake out for some bluegill fishing and we fished from 1:30-3:30 pm and had a blast catching several gills and one Shellcracker.
Biofisher always brings out the best in our crappie fishing. Today is the final day that he can fish with me during this holiday week. He is going to be smoking turkeys and deer tenderloin this afternoon and into the night. One of them is for

I really wasn’t planning on fishing today because I had a couple of errands to run and wanted to make a cake. But errands can wait. Grin. Jay W called me around 9 or so and after talking for a few minutes he asked if I wanted to fish. I always

All my fishing buddies are trying to kill Bambi and leaving me alone with the crappie. The crappie are glad that Cuonthelake is busy painting the inside of her house or we would be putting a hurting on them. I’m not doing too badly by myself.
