Some of you all may know I was in South Carolina last week at Whitey Outlaw's writers camp. To put it mildly, it was awesome. First writers camp where we didn't have to worry about the “vid”, although I did take lots of vids, aka videos! Lol.....My daughter would call that “dad humor”.
Anyway, the fishing was great, the company was

To say I will miss him is the understatement of the year, been about 10 years now and to be very sure this post

I've been working around the house here, cleaning up a bunch of trees I had taken down. I've been sawing, stacking, splitting, stacking, cleaning up brush and bark, etc. Hasn't left a whole lot of time for fishing. Yesterday I split and stacked

You fishing or catching? In the fall crappie fishing can be just that fishing not catching, however, the last part of September often turns into catching as temperatures drop. Alabama crappie fishing guide Lee Pitts over the years has experienced fall fishing at its best and looks forward to it.
“In the fall the crappie start realizing short days and cooler

Decided to make a quick trip this morning just to see what's happening on the lake. The weather was nice being low 60's and no wind to speak of. When the sun came up it started warming up, but slowly which was nice. Water temp began at 76.7*

Well, i finally got the boat ready and spent some time at the lake. Went up from Bucksaw Wednesday with a pharmacy friend on Wednesday and back with Richard on Thursday. It took a while to find the fish cause we started too deep. Spent 3 hours

Wife got me a guide trip with Jeff Faulkenberry for September 1. My son and I met him at Long Shoal Marina. This was the best trip I have taken in decades, even though I was feeling under the weather. This didn't feel like the typical guide

The crappie on our lake are making their annual fall migration back toward the shallows. My son in law and I went back into a big bay to fish more shallow and got into a school of baby crappie. We did have 2 keepers out of 25-30 shorts and

It seems simple enough. You attach a couple planer boards to your line and kick the trolling motor up on high taking the boards out to the side of your boat. It’s a great way to catch lots of crappie, but is there really more to it than just tying on a couple lures and moving forward?
“I like using planer boards to get the lures away from the boat especially if the crappie

Have not pursued the crappie from the bank on the might Trinity river in downtown Ft. worth for a few years with any luck at all.
Pretty much gave up on them as they seemed to have gone missing and never did return. Not sure why, who

Its crazy how spooky crappie get in the summer to early fall. It’s a combination of not wanting to leave the deeper habitat and migrating to the flats, but crappie are extremely spooky during this time. There are several ways to getting bites during this time when trolling crankbaits.
On a recent road trip to the famous Grenada reservoir the owner of PICO Lures Mitch Glenn experienced just how spooky crappie

It was another beautiful night to be on the water. I tried a different spot again. Again I just drove around in and out of main lake cuts and coves. Found another huge school of fish in 19-25’ near main lake.
