Jeff and I took a trip down to Delton on Sunday to try our luck on Crooked Lake. If's been so long since I've been fishing I wasn't sure if I remembered how. We got on the water about 6:30 and were the first to launch, with a line of boats

My long time partner finally found some time to join me fishing so we took a trip back to our favorite water (which shall remain nameless!) We hit the water about 9:30 and started a slow circuit of the pond. Water temperature was 67, air temp

Seriously, hate to admit that being north of 50 years on this earth and I have never used Hot Dogs for bait for any species of under water inhabitants....until today. Ketchn has of course been catching them on a jig head tipped with the Bar

is what defied the odds this morning. Surface water temp started off at 83F & hit 87F before a storm sent me packing at 11am, but before that I was very pleased with today's speck bite for Mid-June. Caught around 30 & kept 14 for the

With this great weather I couldn’t resist taking a day off and pulled some cranks for the first time this year. Got on the water a little before 8 water temp. was 78 took a couple of hours to find some fish but finally found some in the creek

You would think with the current moon phase, the north wind blowing hard enough to create small white caps, tva flowing 13,000 at 6 am up to 20,000 at 10 when we stopped fishing, water temp at 79.9 surface and not a cloud in the sky that fishing

I tried a different approach (for me) on Lake Oconee yesterday. I pushed six 16 foot rods with jigs tipped with minnows. I was able to catch 11 good fish before the boat traffic, gar fish and wind sent me home. The bite was good and I missed

Well one of my buddies finally brought me to one of his honey holes Saturday. Fishing wasn't on fire but we caught 38 and kept 23. Most fish were caught on a blue/silver jig he ties and I caught some on 20 watt's jigs also. Just fishing

Cuonthelake and I got out early enough to get a beautiful sunrise type pic. The fish that we found were all deep and most offshore structure. Candi really showed out by spanking her mentor badly. Not only caught the most, but the biggest fish

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
