All too often anglers take to the waters on tournament day with an “Ideal Game Plan”, only to find conditions have drastically changed from their pre-fishing / practice days. Then panic sets in and they freak out. “What am I going to do? The fish were all over here yesterday; where have they gone?” I’m here to tell you that nothing should be set in stone. Sometimes it’s best not to have a game plan and just go fishing. Treat tournament day like it’s a practice day and take away the pressure. I know that’s easier said than done; however if you follow along

Well, no matter what I do, I can't shake it. I've tried going to unfamiliar bodies of water,targeting one species, trying a variety of techniques, but no matter how unsuccessful I am, I have to go again as soon as I can. The problem is it takes

My cousins family was in town to visit my Aunt. Got to see them for a bit on Saturday. They were leaving the next morning to head home. This is Braden. He is 12. He never got to meet his grandpa, my uncle. That man was good to me. He

I could write volumes on the latest marine electronics; that’s not what I’m here for. In most of my articles I try to explain one or two aspects of a certain subject. When it comes to my electronics I learn something new each time I go fishing. None of my fishing friends or me can afford to go out and purchase the latest off the shelf technology. Most of us are still trying to learn all the features of our current equipment.

Welcome to another article in the continuing chronicle of crankbait trolling. If you overlooked one of the former articles just hold on, we’ll have them for you real soon. In the last article we debated the how’s, this article will analyze the when to do it, where to do it and what to use. What I mean is; when is the time to yank out the cranks and hit the lake. Start too premature and your catch may be limited, too late and you miss lots of summer crappie catching fun. I’ll share my favorite Lakes for hot action. I’ll also

With my back still in knots, I thought I would go and pull some cranks. I thought I would take it easy and just enjoy the morning with some lines out of the back of the boat. My back was going to hurt no matter what I was doing, so might

Good day of fishing! Went to Conroe to target crappie and bream yesterday and boy was it hot! The temps are reaching over 100 degrees here in Texas and you can feel it if your out on the water in the late afternoon. That's why I decided to

I am in awe. Just minutes ago I came bebopping out the door and this enormous barred owl was in the dog's kiddie pool. He was about 30 feet away and I stopped and said "well Hello" and he just stayed there.
