Let’s rewind the clock to June 25th this year and visit a beautiful lake in SW Virginia for a little Panfish action with a fellow CDCOM member.

Mother’s Day weekend 2021 set up to be the Perfect Storm for my style of fishing in E. TN. With my mother out of town visiting family and my wife helping our daughter in VA with a yard sale, I was left unattended at the house with a boat and

Seems to be a catchy title on You Tube, and they seem to fricassee all kinds furry critters, fish, and fowl. So let’s do one here with some Panfish. First ingredient, the Pink Moon of April. When did we start naming

Full moon in late April, went in search for bedding Gills even though I knew our water temperatures were still low-62-65. Gills like it a bit warmer to actually bed here, but they still have to eat right. Well everyone else was hungry today

Days are getting shorter, nighttime temps are getting cooler, yep, it’s Fall Y’all. My deep summer pattern is slowly drying up...literally. In about a month the spots I fish will be dry ground so I am trying to get a few last afternoon trips
...
Been a while since I posted a report, partly because a couple weeks ago one of my 225 horses threw a shoe. Seems as if some braided fishing line ruined the rear seal around the prop and water got into the lower unit. Now when this happened

July 1st, the beginning of the new fiscal year for the bean counters, and I can say that because my wife is one and she is busy as two beavers building a bonfire. With the day off, I employed a new rod, a couple old reliable ones and headed

Safer is at home but 4 months away from the Grand-babies is difficult. Daughter and son in law have been working from home and being very meticulous with the girls in VA, as have we in our endeavors in TN, but a road trip by us this weekend

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

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

Patiently waiting, seems like I have been doing that since the first week in March. Chased those Speckled Bellied Panfish through the month of March and April, but as the water has slowly warmed thoughts and gear have changed to target the

Took a short trip to the lake Saturday morning to get out from under the wife’s feet, she insisted so I obliged. Water levels and temperatures have been falling, opposite for a typical Spring Time pattern, and the fish seem a little discombobulated
...
No no, not what that Pantastic dude did down the way earlier in the week, all firearms were left at home. The shots I am talking about were at docks, with a plastic bait and a nice piece of graphite. I had a free afternoon on Thursday, all

We all remember our first time, mine was on May 6th, 2018. Late to the party.... maybe, but eager to experiment and experience that unique feeling, I tried it. Sticky, Stinky, It Rocks, that is what’s promised. Yep, it does. Comes in 2
