Just got back home today after spending a week at Crescent. I got to see many old friends and made some new ones. The first night started off with a fantastic supper that Talquin Maggie cooked. Country Fried Steak (Deer) and gravy with mashed

Tried my luck this morning only to find the fish are starting to leave the lake & go to there spawning grounds, caught about 30, but many were small & fished til' 1:30 to do so, before giving up to the rain. Kept 14 hostage with (2)

Well, we tried it again Friday evening from 1-5 P.M. Lots of company, the WORD must have gotten out. 24 Trucks and Trailers at the Ramp when we got there and we was 3rd in line to launch. Boats, Boats, and more Boats. LOL!!! But, we went back

The KDWPT Fisheries Division operates fish feeders at select reservoirs and State Fishing Lakes across the state of Kansas. Channel catfish are the target species, but other species also benefit from the feeding programs. The goal of the fish feeding program is to provide increased angling opportunities for anglers in Kansas.
Got to do a little fishing today. Momma wanted to try her Cane Pole out. Josh told me to throw it in the Lake and tell her it blew out of the boat. She got to catch fish on that "thang". Beautiful day and she took some

It came to mind for me today as I passed a pond that is along my daily travels just how lucky we are to be this far south. Not for the weather, though that is real nice. Nor for the sunshine that the folks up north don't see for many days in

Same story today. Got a late start as I was shooting some plastic baits and didn't get on the water till 11 am. The sun was out in full force and the breeze was light with some gusts occasionally. I pulled up to my first place I had caught

I went fishing yesterday, January 31. I arrived at the ramp early, before the sun came up. It was a beautiful, sunny day, with just enough wind to make you want to get out of it.
Flycaster and I went to Woodruff to catch some of the monsters there. I thought we were talking "Monster Big Crappie", but once we got to checking out the lake, I think people were more talking about the gators. Absolutely unbelievable how many gators there are. And that coming from a guy that lives on Lake Griffin!
We could see at least a dozen large alligators at one time, seriously! Most were just floating/swimming

The goal of hard work on ice is a nice crappie taken from below the ice.
Most normal folks will, at some point in the winter, swing their legs up on a couch and watch a football game. Even those not into sports will use their couch for comfort viewing of some TV game.
But dare I say it, Vermont’s Jamie Vladyka and many of his ice fishing friends are not normal — and they are proud of that fact.
My friend Ernie turns 70 tomorrow and the gathering for that occasion was last night. The food, the company and the friendship that spanned many age groups made it a fine evening. I had a few from the bar, not too many, and got home way past

I watched someone do real well single poling on Monroe a few weeks back and couldn't get it out of my mind. I had the dipping rod I won at Crescent and was itching to get it wet also. Flycaster also had a couple caught with his fly rod and

It was a light NW wind with air temps at 31 when we put in at 8:45. The water was down a little and stained some. They pulled a little current off and on for short periods. We fished BG jigs, mostly on a double rigged,

Jim and I fished Lake Oconee yesterday. We launched at Armour Bridge and fished downstream. When we got to the ramp we had the pleasure of meeting Curtis (Litewirehooker), and his two fishing partners Chuck and Cindy. I had talked with Curtis

last minute had a friend join me and made it worth his time. took a few hours to get them located and dialed in. I can say that today was the first time in about 5 years on Norman that i went through
