Fished Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Tough bite but managed a few nice keepers. Trolled cranks and then fished minnows Friday with no luck. The South and Middle forks were a mess with debris. Saturday morning single poked in timbered

The following information that I am about to share must begin with this disclaimer.
Everything that I will share is my opinion only and is not set in stone. I know not of any
rule that is true concerning fishing all the time. There are always exceptions to the rules
or suggestions that I make. This is the reason that our sport is called fishing instead of
catching. All fishermen are liars except you and me and I am a little bit suspect of you.
Big Grin.

The boys and I made an afternoon trip to Belle river Sunday before our frogging expedition. 6 keepers and 10 or 12 dink. We did find some frogs, ended with 43, and had a blast.
My Dad went in Omaha Beach on D-Day and served under Patton across Europe. He never talked about the horrors of it, only the funny stories. If you have seen the Longest Day movie, and remember the paratrooper that got hung on the church steeple,

The June Full Moon this year is fast approaching, and with the crazy Spring we are having, it is shaping up to be as good as the May Full Moon was in my neck of the woods. Snow....yes Snow was on the Mountain tops in May, and since Gills do

I made another 3 hour trip to the river today and fished from 9:40am until 12:40pm. Pushed minnows 3-5 ft in 8-16 FOW. Kept 25 good fish and tossed a few; also caught a couple of decent Green Carp(AKA Bass). I need to get in touch with

Hit Nickajack early this a.m. Once again I was a few days late. There had been another spawn but it was probably full on Saturday. I bed picked today and in 5.5 hours of fishing had around 180 fish......60 quality fish.....shell cracker from

My Grandma didn't teach me to fish or help me catch my first fish. I owe that to my Dad. She did take me fishing a lot of times. We never went far or to a hard to reach spot, but we always had an adventure. We would fish off the bank at

Went to the electric-only lake today after the rain storms passed, and found some shellcracker beds in 8-11 FOW. I threw 3 different colors of Trout Magnet, and a bunch of my hand-ties, with nibbles and power wiggler bits and such - no dice.

I took my son Jacob out to try his Christmas present in a local lake. I wanted him to get the hang of things before we hit up some local creeks after they recede a bit. After I was comfortable with his abilities to maneuver and control his

They're still biting!
Fantastic day on the water. Had two limits under 3 hours. Burned through 5 dozen minnows on dinks and tiny large mouth. Wind was mild, temp was perfect, sunshine felt great! 25FOW bite around 6-12ft in the

Just wanted to share a special part of my family with the CDC family. Today is my future fishing buddy’s first birthday , my grandson CAMERON MICHAEL BLACK. Hopefully in a couple years from now I can post some pictures of us catching crappie

Fished another weekend but the heat got the best of me. Aint it funny (sorta) how something that used to be fun enough to keep me on the water ALL DAY long now has me running for cover when the temps gets into the 80's and climbing!! A lot

Set out to log in some more Withlacoochee apprenticeship hours today but as the morning progressed, unexpected, menacing clouds were making their way from the SW. Not bringing any raingear, I decided to carry on with business anyway. After

Swish!! My Withlacoochee River search-time efforts have finally yielded the species that prove, at least this time of year, ghostly. With water temps consistently 80-83 degrees the sweet smell of achievement has now availed itself.

Went out yesterday again in a storm of boaters who may or may not be safe and responsible. Water was churned into a froth, weird waves coming from all directions. I am still intent on catching and releasing 1000 crappie this year.
