It all started 2 weeks early for me. My daughter (JJ) came and fished the first week. Stayed on for couple trips then the excitement started when the early arrivals came on Wednesday. Tried to arrange pictures in order but did not come out

I had a great time at the Talquin Slabfest. I would like to thank Mr. Chuck (chuckauten) for allowing me to fish with him, that was very nice for him to take me in. The food was great and the people were great. Thanks to everybody
I arrived at the lake about 7:20 and quit fish around 12:30. I probably caught between 30 and 40 fish, but kept only 8 crappie and 2 very nice bream. I finally culled out 8 crappie that were big enough to filet out of the 30-40 I caught. The

Gotta love the grandkids, especially when they know how to fish. But then add in one of them getting the student of the month award. Oh yeah, I couldn't be prouder. This is my grandson Gavin with a nice smallmouth bass that he caught and his

Had a great day on Lake Conway today in the rain. Just a slow steady rain and not one lightning bolt all day. I decided to stay and fish on. For a time it was just me and one other boat and then just me. I boated 33 fish

It has been a couple days since the snow. It has mostly melted in my area. Woke up to a chilly but calm day. I was waiting on a furnace repair person. He was a no show so I said its time to get back on the water. It was 33 when

Mike Bemjamin / myself had not been on this lake in 2 yrs.
The technique of long lining on some days just loads the boat with crappie. Everyone loves to fish when crappie are biting, but some days you just cannot get a crappie to bite when long lining lures. On those days when crappie will not bite utilizing the technique of wildcatting when long lining crankbaits will get you more bites.
B'n'M' Poles pro staffer Bernard Williams and Don Terry are experts when it comes to catching crappie when

Yesterday was a stellar day for me even though my side scan/down scan decided to go on strike with the Bird, However, I didn't let that stop me from finding crappie. Alot of the community docks have been beat down and fished so

The fishing was tough, but through trial and error we finally got into some fish. I fished with Lee Pitts, and he's definitely one of the better dock shooters I've ever shot docks with. In fact, last time out he smoked me while fishing on Grand Lake in Oklahoma. This time out, on Lake Chickamauga, no-one was catching any fish to speak of. Not the Bass guys and not the Crappie guys. You see, I was on a writers outing that included all the kinds of fishing,

Did a little R&R trip down to E Tenn at Watts Bar Reservoir, this past weekend. Took my buddy & site member Paul with me, and stayed at the Arrowhead Marina/Resort. Great place to stay & good people to do business with !!

There aren’t too many things in this world that make me smile more than the look on a Gnome’s face when you see one perched on the stoop at someone’s house. Heck, the Travelocity Gnome makes me laugh every time I see his ridiculous commercials

Beautiful morning on Black Lake this morning. Managed to hem up 20 (15 crappie, 4 blue gills, 1 chink). Met Pastor down there and left him just before 9 am catching bream. Said when he had two or three more he'd have a mess and was leaving.

Had the great pleasure to fish with GeneC again this week for a fun filled day and a half "just us guys" time. Really missed not having our wives there but we did okay. Friday we caught 44 crappie with around a dozen a pound or
