Then came the event, where CG1 brought the customary 21st anniversary Crappie.com cake.
Phantom and some oh so good shrimp. Yeah you heard me right. Danny gave up a trip to the Keys to bring us a ton of great shrimp. Thanks Danny, you made the day.
Crappie season is now in full swing as these taste pan fish are starting to set up for their annual spawn. This is the best time of year to focus on slab sacalait. While waiting patiently on the speckled trout bite to get back into full swing these little guys keep us very occupied

Pretty good day. Bite started strong at daylight, then tapered off a little bit around 10-11. Ran back and picked my boy up at 12 and then fished again until 3. Brought back 22. Size was decent, but no braggers. Threw back almost that many

I was going through some old posts about Braid and noticed more than one reference to always having a stick to pull braid so as not to get one of the nastiest cuts you ever experienced. I thought I would share how I make sure I have both a

Sometimes, the wind can be just too much. Even with drift socks, chains, or what other devices you are using to slow your roll, they may not work. That being said, a few years ago while fishing my favorite lake, Poverty Point, I learned to

Well Eustis done me good this morning, better than it has been. Limited out by 10:30, did not catch any small ones. Everyone was 10 1/2 to 13 in which is unusual for this lake, timing must have been right.

We had a major water temperature change recently down here in Florida and the fish have moved. Two weeks ago they were in the reeds thinking it was Spring. Well, the water temperature dropped to 60 degrees, and now the fish are confused. I can no longer find them in my usual spots. So here's what I do when I need to go on the hunt for Crappie.
When I know where the crappie are, I like to long line Slab Rigs for them (here's a recent story
