I’ve invested in the latest and greatest electronics on the market. I often spend over half my fishing time side and down scanning. I mark spots that show fish, brush piles, and ledges.

I always had a problem with tackle bags that were too big and in the way. Plano has introduced a new “A-Series 3600 Tackle Bag” that features 5 Stowaway Boxes with 4 Zipper Compartments and is water resistant. It has a small footprint that I love in the boat.

How many fishing rods did you crappie fish with today? If the crappie were deep into the brush or next to pole timber you may have answered one rod. While that’s appropriate when fishing those situations it might not be for a crappie angler fishing large areas in search of schools of offshore crappie.
Longlining is an effective way an angler successfully catches offshore crappie. Finding and catching offshore crappie. Unlike utilizing a single

Started out Friday morning below the Bucksaw cut and noticed our shallow bite had changed a bit. It was now better in 6 to 10 feet. Saturday morning and this morning we fished up river. Bite was slower for us than it has been but the shallower

Back in the day I read a lot. Every book in the school library that had anything to do with hunting or fishing got read. Then I discovered the public library with it's magazines. Wow, that where I first encountered fishing and hunting magazines.

Yesterday was yet another great day in the life of this fisherman. To begin with, I had the pleasure of meeting a couple anglers for the first time. John showed up at Trestle Park to meet me and we shared some great conversation. After we had chatted for about twenty minutes or so, Ann arrived. John came over to the park just so that we could meet in person after

When I woke this morning at 6:30, I had no intentions of going fishing. I was scheduled to work at 4:00 pm, so I planned on just sitting around and enjoying a relaxing morning at home. But, as any true angler knows, plans of not going fishing can change at the drop of a hat, or, the opening of the curtains.
At 7:30 I decided to open the curtains for the day. The clear blue
