Family obligations, property maintenance, and life in general has severely limited my crappie fishing this summer. We were still able to do our annual trip out West with a couple who loves the mountainous West as much as we do. This year our

Verified that we had a three T.A.R.P. evening! That would be three fish over 14”! The downside of that was that we just couldn’t get on numbers. We hunted and scanned, and scanned and hunted. We saw plenty of fish on the graphs, but they were

Reading the other excellent testimonials has inspired me to relate my own experiences. I am a big believer in the power of adding scent to your jig, and I’ve tried a bunch of them. In fact my “fishing closet” contains several varieties of scent

My apologies to the late, great Ronnie Van Zant.... I can’t sing, but I watch the weather forecast religiously. Especially the wind! Today was cool, but the wind was predicted to be lighter, so about 4:00, I hooked up the boat in record time

Well, we had to turn the lights on to run back to the ramp...could’ve used some lights to load the boat on the trailer, but that would further increase my license fees, taxes, or both. We got a late start due to a visit from our daughter, but

Not to be confused with the 70’s rock group. That being said, my Dad has been in the hospital since last Thursday, and my Mom stays with him 24/7. I called to see if she would go home and let me stay overnight, but “Mama told me not to come!”

But that’s better than snow flurries and cold! We left the house about 4:00 this afternoon, with low expectations. The wind was stronger than forecast (big surprise there), and I felt fairly sure the water temp had dropped since our last trip.

It has been hanging in my boat with me for most of 2018. After fishing the main channel Friday, and only catching some dinks, I was sure the skunk had moved permanently to my boat. The main channel and creek that we fished Friday was 49-50.

Everything is relative. That being said, this is a big fish for Fort Loudoun. This guy was hugging bottom in 20 FOW, and was tricked by a Mr. Crappie Bluegrass shad. Water temp was 81. We didn't catch a boatload, but this made up for it. She's

Never! Well, maybe sometimes, but this morning at daylight was actually pleasant. We hadn't been out in a couple of weeks, so it was hunting time. Started out at a marina and picked up a few, but not great. Next up is offshore brush, several

My truck said 91 on the way to the lake, about 6:30! It was too hot, but we needed to get out. Our oldest daughter is getting married Friday, so we needed to just clear our heads. The water temp was 85, so we were looking for deep, shady water.

My wife woke me this morning with those words that every man wants to hear! "Do you want to go fishing?" Absolutely! So double timed the boat hook up, walked the dog, and away we go.
The water is rising. The water is muddy. The water is 52-56 degrees. There is current. It was not ideal and not my best day. I just couldn't find them today, and I looked high and low, deep and shallow. Scratched out a few and brought four
