I know I said that the previous article would be the last one for 2011, but I could not resist. I got this one sent to me from one of our fine sponsors: Lindy Legendary Fishing Tackle.

I know it's winter now, but here's an article to make you think about the warm weather that'll eventually be coming. Submitted by Joe (joejv4) our New York State Moderator, it'll be the last article published for 2011. Happy New Year.
Small Water Summertime Crappie
I started seriously fishing for crappie about 7 years ago - right after I tried some for dinner for the first time.
Think I caught a cold with the pelting ice in the face then rain then more rain. Dang Buzzy sure is a tough old coot! Buzzy and I gave it our best but came up a little short. Buzzy did catch a nice walleye and a few crappie. I caught a

Due to the recent rain, I decided to leave my home lake of Ross Barnett and try a Mississippi oxbow lake known as Eagle Lake. I had recieved some great information from a friend about a few locations that had produced a lot of good fish over

The bite on Kinkaid is slowly picking up over the last couple weeks. Usually when we get a good amount of fresh water in a lake it affects the deep bite and we've had plenty of fresh water lately. Fish are just starting to get on creek channel

I knew it was going to be another blue bird day today… but my choices were wind or calm… and I chose calm. I put in about 9:30 this morning and there were only about a dozen other boats that had already put in and a few more that

It’s that time of the year when most people put up the poles and stay in to watch the football games and make lures. But just because it’s 40 degrees and below outside doesn’t mean the fish have stopped biting. Most people get cabin fever because they want to. Now, for the people that live up north who lakes freeze over, then I understand. Personally ice fishing is not my cup of

We are very blessed in North West Tn. to have so many great guides that fish the Crappie Masters and Crappie USA. We Ronnie Capps and Steve Coleman, Billy Blakely and Jackie VanCleave, Dwyane Dunn and many more. Ben Parker who fishes the Bass

The screen shows a submerged cedar tree placed near a drop off making it a real “sweet spot”. The Lowrance HDS 10 not only pinpointed the location of the tree but the crappie as well. The clarity and detail of the picture gave us an idea of how deep we needed to fish and sure enough, when the lure would tick a branch on the cedar we’d get bit.

The morning before the fish fry, my daughter and I went fishing with Billbob. We followed Wiskers around on the water for a while doing some vertical jigging, but only caught a couple small Crappie. We switched it up a little and tried pulling cranks, but that did not produce anything

The story continues about my trip to Lake Fork Texas (you can see part one here). I fished with Ivan Martin in the morning and ended the day on Wally Marshall’s boat taking pictures with Steve Quinn of In-Fisherman Magazine. This turned out to be quite an interesting coincidence, and here's why. Two days prior, I flew out of Wisconsin’s Mitchell Airport. While sitting in the standard pretzel position of the small regional plane’s seat (I’m

I was invited to Lake Fork, Texas, to a Media event where new products were being introduced to us by Lews, Gene Larew Lures, Jewel Bait Company and Numa Sport Optics. I had an absolutely wonderful time checking out their products, mingling with outdoors writers and fishing with professional fishermen. One of those fishermen was none other than my friend Wally Marshall. I've had many phone conversations with Wally over the years, but I have never had the pleasure of meeting him

Practice was a difficult time for the Gant Brothers. A half day Wednesday in Swift Creek produced a few decent crappie. A full day of practice in the river on Thursday didn’t work at all.
Day One: “We went back to Swift Creek,” says Bill. “We set up in about 10 to 13 feet of water and tried running the contours in the creek.”
