I got some news I could’ve lived without hearing a while longer last night. Tom and I were drivers for the same company when we met about 15 years ago. While he and I have both had our bouts with ill health I thought he was doing pretty good.

Fishing was tough for most all teams today. We managed 4.02 lbs with a .98 big fish. We placed 7th. It was a wonderful day getting to fish with my oldest grandson.
Made Trip to Lake O'the Pines in Jefferson Texas July 30th and man was it hot , but the fishing was good too. Caught 27 crappie with my son using LiveScope in the mid lake area. Hooked a 6lbs bass that came to the surface and tossed my jig

We had a lull in the work day yesterday and I skipped out an hour early for a trip to the pond before the rainy weekend.
I launched at 3:40, with the air temp at 74 and water temps out over the basin at 67-68. I expected the wind but

Every angler at some point wants to build lures and dreams about owning their own lure company. How hard can that be making lures all day and talking fishing? The truth is only a few new lures are designed every year and even few new lure companies.
Most new lure companies start in someone’s garage building an improved existing lure or newly designed lure. The lure becomes popular

Just when I thought, what else is there to learn/ discover?, but over 144 fish in 2 days I guess counts for something in the - I never expected that! - category.
Tubes and curl tails have been low on my list of panfish lures, but

Thinking outside the box when going crappie fishing? It’s not a new technique and anglers have been using spoons to catch crappie, but this year at ICAST 2023 three new fishing spoons were introduced as spoons specifically designed for angler crappie fishing. Why the drive towards spoons for crappie?
The answer might be to find deeper crappie away from shallow single poling anglers. Whatever

Well, Slabeye invited me to come down & fish a few hours, yesterday, and since I haven't been in several months I jumped at the chance to put some meat in the fridge.

Last couple of days of September and we are hitting 90’s. It’s looking like I’ll still be cutting grass into late October…. My wife came in the other day saying “This is embarrassing cut the grass!” lol…. Just hate cutting grass

Even though it was a bit windy, I headed off after work to see if the fish were biting after the rainy weekend we'd had. About 3 1/2" all told fell between Saturday morning and Monday afternoon. I figured it being Wednesday things might

Went to a favorite spot and KABOOM started from first drop. Didn't have to move much and it was only on a couple of small bits o brush but the thump was there. Had a couple of guys come next to me and they had bucket o minnows and they too

Rare to see Sharks and Crappie swimming the same waters but no rain means salinity levels are so high they are looking at barging fresh water to the communities below New Orleans to combat the Saltwater Intrusion in the mighty

Hit up Grand Bayou in Coushatta yesterday. Overcast with a light wind, it turned into a great day. Started fishing around 9am. Couldn’t get the fish to chase a road runner, but once I put on one of my gray hand ties, they commenced to chomp!

It's nice when u find a place to fish that produces most of the time but few seem to actually go there and fish for what u do. Will see another fisherman occasionally but they are fishing for catfish off bank. Fortunate to have a few places

Worked pretty much a full day yesterday and knew I was going fishing somewhere today. I got delayed this morning and didn't get on the water and set up until 11:40. Air temp at 71 when I launched with water temps at 70 or so. Bit of a breeze
