So decided to give Jesup a break & fish an old haunt to see how things are doing @ Harney. The gamut would turn out to be: lake, creek, river, sun, cold, wind, current, specks 3"-14", (4) mud fish, couple nice keeper war mouth,

Well Phantom 309 met up & we launched bout 8:30 Saturday morning to temps in the 40's & wind 10-12 mph & would turnout to be the worst of the day, but never really fell under 7 mph.....what a trooper, he outlasted the thermos of

in more ways than 1, however, sometimes the price of hardship is rewarded @ the end of the day...Mind you these things were self-inflected & a lesson or 2 can serve well, for the next time out. Was windy yesterday with patchy clouds, didn't

Saturday morning too finish off 2020 with a Whammy. Didn't think it was going to happen, but was blessed with a window of opportunity that presented itself. Stayed close to home & didn't over-think things, just returned to lake Jesup to

Last Friday went to test a new Fenwick rod I picked up to jig the bridge, extremely light weight paired w/tiny Pflueger Trion reel, was anxious to feel the thump, but produced only 2 small fish in 2 1/2 hrs, musta hit the 3/32 on the fall

Sorry to miss ya Slab...seen most everyone launching, talked w/ Slim Jim, Bearlake "Slab-Daddy", & Skeet...Was suppose to fish Crescent, then earlier in the week found out Vic "Anchorman" had to return home, his story

Yep, had all them conditions in a 3hr afternoon trip yesterday from 2:30-5:30 pm. The wind was the biggest nuisance, however, managed to boat a few good'uns between gust. They wanted to chew bubblegum as shown in the pic & caught the majority.

Great time & fellowship, Big thanks Slim Jim for hosting & putting the event together, Slab for prizes & calendars, and all who helped along the way, I think all the boxes got checked....Big crowd as well, would have

Was on the water in time too take a pic of the 2nd full "Blue" moon of the month, followed by the Sunrise & a pleasant cool breeze over 77F surface temp water. Had plenty of time to take all this in due to a pattern over the last

With the forecast for a windy day, I probably should have had my head examined to pick lake Monroe as my destination, after all it's been a couple months since darn near getting skunked (last trip there) & Monroe waves are not kind to boaters,

Well it's been a little time in the making, but final convinced Danny to do some speck fishing. We got on the water at 8am, & it looked bleak to start with water like glass & (2) fish to show for till about 11am then the wind picked

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

Between the weather systems Friday & Saturday & church services online, Sunday has become a early morning option.....so I decided to check an old haunt lake Harney. No problem social distancing as I was the only 1 trolling the entire

Yep, with cold windy high pressure conditions forecasted, the bite had to be off...right? Well when you have the pleasure to go met up with Crappieday "Big fish Andy", you throw all that nonsense out the window...and besides you only

Waited for the rain to pass this morning, so launched the boat around noon. Had a short time on the lake trolling (2hrs) before the wind started to pick up, but was surprised the passing front yielded some good shouldered fish including a 2#

Started off overcast with the full Moon providing a better pic then the absence of the Sun. Went to a area that produced last time out, but no one was home. The weather man called for wind to be out of the SE up to 18 mph, really didn't pick
