Wife and I hit Bald Knob Lake at about 11:30 this morning. No surprise we had entire lake to ourselves. While the temps were low 50’s the north wind made for a little bit of a bite. While I did spend more time fishing than last time the trip
...
Seventy-five fish brought to the net in 2.5 hours. All but 5 fish were keeper crappie. I went hoping to find shell cracker on bed..but they are not. After a quick side scan of prime spawning areas showed me no bedding activity is occurring
...
Son and I boated over 150 fish today on J Percy Priest. The majority were crappie in the 11-12 inch range with a few at the 13 inch mark. Caught a few white bass….I had a hybrid that went almost 17 inches. My son was using a Fine Tail Area

It has been several months since I have been into quality bluegill.....mostly because of the recovery period of breaking in this new knee. Made a trip to VFW to fish the bank and while I caught plenty of bluegill nothing of real quality. I

So far this year has been off the charts good for me for fishing…and everything else really. The spinal surgery I had back in November allowed me to hit the water more often….not to mention being able to trout fish more in 2021 than I have
...
Hit the jackpot on bluegill...redbreast...and shellcracker today. These fish were not on bed...but are staging getting ready to. Taking tomorrow off but will hit same spot on Friday. Used the Ipripmi XXUL 5' 6" and Diplomat Extreme 6'

I’ve been fishing VFW Lake on a regular basis since 2004. I kept it up until 2015. I then moved and the drive turned into 1.5 hours one way where in 2004 it was a 39 mile drive. So being nostalgic and armed with a new XUL area trout rod I hit
...
Took out a rod today I don’t use very much. What a fine job it did! The TenRyu Lunakia 6’ 10” hybrid light game rod boated me about 2 dozen crappie....all at around or a little better than the 13 inch mark. In between the crappie caught quite
...
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
...
Been fighting vertigo for a week now...just won't go away. Did get out on the water yesterday to scout for beds up in the lake.....not a single bed was found.....not a single fish. Headed to the tail race to an old trusted spot...and it produced
...
Hit Nickajack again....but this time only stayed 3 hours and was out of there at 11:00 a.m. with boat on the trailer. It was 96 degrees when I left. I caught a lot fish today......more bluegill than KY bass...since I...and many folks I know
...
Epic day at Nickajack! Hit the lake at 8:00 a.m and started looking for bedding fish. Found a bed of shell cracker bedding in 2 feet of water. I cast to those fish for 40 minutes and only got one. I have run into this before.....bedding shellcracker
...
Probably the best crappie day I’ve ever had in my life.....and I’ve caught a lot of crappie. My nephew and I limited out....15 fish each......at the Caney Fork River today. I do not have a scale anymore but these fish had to have
...
Got up this morning and it was 18 degrees. I hung around the house and at about 10:00.a.m. I told myself I need to get out.....thought I would give Nickajack a try...I’ve been cooped up too long. I wasn’t planing on going today but at the last
...
Decided to fish a little this morning hoping to catch a limit of crappie....no limit but 6 good crappie and 3 very nice black perch. All fish caught on Tict Ice Cube 6’ 9” Mebaru UL rod using SOS 2# test line....an 18 inch section of 2# test
...
It has been a long time since I have been fishing. My sister passed away 2 weeks before Christmas, and for all of January and up until last week I had upper respiratory problems but am good to go now.....I hope. I went to a trout river today.
