My kids are home for their summer visit. My daughter, son in law and granddaughter, Isla, are in from Georgia and my son is in from Louisiana. Thursday was chosen as the day to take Isla out in Grampys boat, hopefully to catch a fish or two

Jeff and I took a trip down to Delton on Sunday to try our luck on Crooked Lake. If's been so long since I've been fishing I wasn't sure if I remembered how. We got on the water about 6:30 and were the first to launch, with a line of boats

Jeff(vbottom) and I took the SS Greybeard out for the first of hopefully many fishing trips. We hit the backwaters of Weber dam on the Grand River near Portland. Our goal was to find downed trees and logs in water deep enough to hold fish and

This afternoon I got a group text from my niece, Tanya, who owns Courageous Coffee. She quit roasting early today and decided to take her son, Caleb (5), who is autistic, fishing. She let him pick out his new rod(camo) and let him choose crawlers

Jeff and I took the newly made over Grumman boat for a ride this afternoon on the Grand River in Portland. Other than testing it for leaks, this is the first time I've had it in the water. Our goal was to run the motor, do a check of the electronics,

Made a trip over to Morrison Lake today with my son and his half brother, Cody, (my ex's son) to try and find a few crappie. A little background first.
I am amazed at some of the jigs the Crappie.com members tie. I thought it

I need to thank everybody that made the spring camp a success. First and foremost are those who so generously donated prizes for our Friday night "freeby" give away and our Saturday night raffle.
Jeff and I took a trip down to Delton today to fish Crooked Lake. We both had to work in the morning so we didn't get there until close to 11:00. We were the only trailer in the lot.
Our first stop was a small cut that had flooded

I made a solo trip to D'arbonne today. The weather man told me it was 27 degrees with 1 mph winds when I launched shortly after daylight. I dropped the trolling motor and started working the channel, fishing 15-20 feet down using a double rig,

With winter quickly closing in on us Northerners, Jeff and I decided to take what may very well be our last open water, Michigan fishing trip of the year. The weather genius was calling for winds 5-10 out of the east with morning

I got invited to go crappie fishing with Jeff and his daughters friend, David. Being that David hasn't fished a lot we decided to go to our favorite crappie lake, Morrison, hoping the bite was still hot. We were on the water by 8:30 and started

Or maybe we both needed it. Jeff has been down for a few weeks with a recovering knee and I hadn't been in a boat since mid August. A therapy trip to the Beats-a-Tent, my shack near Six Lakes, was just what the doctor ordered. We drove up mid

As fishermen, we dream of the days when everything seems to work out perfectly. Perfect weather, perfect wind and fish that are more than happy to do their part. Today was one of those days for me and Jeff. We were on the water by 7:30, greeted

I had a though decision to make this morning, should I drive an hour through Lansing rush hour traffic to get to Stockbridge so I could dig 10 post holes for a deck I'm building or should I hook to the boat and try to catch some crappie. I

I picked Jeff up just before 6am and we headed down to Middle Lake (Barry County). We were the first boat on the water and decided to do a little long lining to start the day. Our first pass produced one decent crappie and one that got away.
