Well it was Friday the 13th. Allegedly the most cursed day of the calendar. Does this mean that dark forces would be at work on this day to minimize angler success on the water? Hmm perhaps. But to be sure, lets just go see.
I had a

No rush to get to the lake this morning. I first let the frost melt then headed to the ramp. Since the parking lot was covered with trailers, I took it everyone is starting to get the fever. Funny how things change in a matter of a few weeks.

Well, the lake is still pretty much mud after all this rain, but having the crappie virus, I had to give it a shot. Water temp was 46 where I started and things were real slow. I fished till I was about over the whole ordeal and was fixing

No not the purple dinosaur if that is what you were thinking. Barney is a life long minnow dunker and has never fished any other technique for catching crappie. He showed interest in going with me today to attempt to catch his first crappie

Overcast day! My kind of day otherwise forget it in August.
Thought it may be a good time to take that special someone who has been asking.
Wanna go fishing? I asked
Yeah! Was the reply
Well let's go I said.

Didn't get out today until after twelve but it seems the big ones were still biting. Lots of mud with all the rain we have been having but still some clearer areas to be found. Didn't get a limit but with 12 crappie, eight keepers isn't terrible

What's that? Taking the girls shopping? Oh ok. Do I want to go? Nah that's ok. Been thinking about going to watts bar before the rain sets in. Ok see ya later.
Got a late start but as they say better late than never. Remembering a place

Opportunity knocked today. My chance to get out after the finned ones. Rain was misting and air temperatures were dropping but not a bad day at all. There wasn't any long runs made today. I stayed fairly close to my launching

Ah yes the fall season! Time to get back out on the Tellico water. Water temp was reading 67 so thats the time to hit some of my favorite fall locations. A good number of these stops did not disappoint as they produced 37 crappie. A good mixture

Skipped the bacon and eggs this morning and loaded up on crankbaits instead. Just a 2.5 hr trip before the July sun begins bearing down and sends me on my way. Actually I have done this the past two mornings with the intent of

Boy Oh Boy Temps have finally started to drop from the 90 degree days and I have gotten out to single pole for the first time during the daylight since summer. Note: (Still may do another night trip.) Water temps on Tellico have

I thought I was just about finished with night stalking for the year but that itch just has not left me yet. Combined with the urge for a road trip, I decided it was about time to venture on down south to the ever

What better way to end the work week than at the bar. No not that kind of bar. I'm talking about Watts Bar. A watering hole for some night time crappie fishing.
Got home from work Friday evening and everyone was gone.

Called up a buddy down in Florida that I hadn't spoken to in a while just to see how he was doing. I was almost immediately asked about why he hasn't seen a fishing report posted from me lately. Well I thought... I guess I can
