Since Ernie and I went about a month ago I’ve been wanting to get back out. The last trip was tough on me, too early in the recovery stage. Didn’t get hurt but it let me know that I didn’t have the endurance that I needed just yet. Hoping that

Yesterday I was out on the Seaark Procat 240 pulling crankbaits for crappie. Not a bad few hours on the water. Released quite a few but kept some as well. Quite a few between 12"-14 1/2". Even caught a eater kitty and a fresh

Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. Most schools have started back, high school and college football is in full swing, and the Crappie have started to move. A certain Alabama (Bama) dude down on Martin is reporting the same thing.

Met Sinkermaker and microps at Tamarac marina this morning. Fish was really scattered but the ones we put in the live well were some nice crappie. Man was it hot , the fish we caught were really shallow only 17-18 fow. Some fish were right

He’s a year and a half old so I figured it was time for him to learn the basics. Well not really but it was the first time he and his mother have gotten out on the boat to go fishing with me. Of course she caught the big fish of the day too!

Or maybe we both needed it. Jeff has been down for a few weeks with a recovering knee and I hadn't been in a boat since mid August. A therapy trip to the Beats-a-Tent, my shack near Six Lakes, was just what the doctor ordered. We drove up mid

I felt honored. My nephew Matthew decided to fly down to Florida to fish with me. Well it wasn't just for that reason I felt honored, it was because he chose to come down just prior to entering the Police Academy. So this was really his last vacation before Police "Boot Camp", and a real job, for the rest of his life.
Went to Harvey East Sunday and the water level was way up since the last trip July 31st. Fished the dam rocks and caught some cats, blugills, and green sunfish - started raining around 9:15 and had to take a 10 minute break - went back to the

It was HOT...temperature wise. Fishing was pretty good, as well. I caught 20, kept 8 for some fresh fried fish for dinner. Water temp was 82 at daylight, 85 at 2 pm when I called it. Air temp was like the inside of a oven.... No specific

Got on the water about 5:30 this afternoon and pulled jigs on a stretch of river that I found late this spring. We didn't catch many but did catch a few good uns. This was the best one of the evening. Biggest White Crappie that's been in

Headed out & was on the lake at day-break, the pic below is how it looked, a lot of heat lighting in the clouds, however, all seemed to disband quickly with sun up. Started catching a few right away with the 1st (8) all hitting the Specknator

Dr Phil and I tried something different this AM. We went to Guntersville lake, Nickajack tailwaters and caught two of everything except Bluegill. Grin. Two skipjacks (I had another one break 4 lb test line), two largemouth bass (15”), two

The call from my favorite fishing hole was pretty strong lately and I decided to give it a go. Saturday was Opening Day for the Dove Season around here, so there was only a couple other guys waiting for the gate to open at the lake early Saturday

Today was the best day weather-wise in awhile, so Walt & I took advantage of it. Launched at 8:00 am - the days are getting shorter and we do not drive in the dark anymore! The air was a nice 61 degrees for a change, with the water
