I fished Barron Fork from 7 till just after lunch today. Kept a mixed bag of Crappie and Gills. Returned a dozen larger Crappie and about the same number of shorts.
Most came of a tiny spinner with a 1/32oz jig head and a 1"

James Jackson the man behind the legendary EJ- “like father, like son”.
“Never quit!” Those two words spoken by James Jackson, the father of Eric Jackson has echoed over and over in EJ’s mind throughout his life. However, it’s just one of many declarations and rules that James instilled upon the young EJ growing up that shaped his future.
James grew up in the depression era in Leetonia, Ohio, with his single Mother and younger sister. At the age o f 10 he started constructing model airplanes. James enlisted into the Army and decided to become a paratrooper

Got to get out today and enjoy some fishing time and a little R&R eating lunch on a sandy shore watching the River. Took a picture of the yak while kicked back with my new Crappie.com patriotic sticker. Thanks again for including it in

The wife and I went to loz for a longer than normal trip to chase the crappie
Day 1 was spent pulling double minnow rigs and double jig rigs in 20 FOW 50 -75 foot of line out and traveling at 1 to 1.5 mph up the little Niangua

Got to the ramp and unloaded at 6 AM sharp. Didnt want to loose any daylight knowing it would get hot today. Got lines in the water and was trolling before 6:30AM. Water was slick as glass and the only boat I saw all morning was one bass boat

On Sunday morning I made my first crankbait pulling trip for the year of 2022. Cypress Lake in Benton Louisiana did not disappoint us. My son and I caught 23 crappie pulling Bandit and Strike King crankbaits. After crappie fishing , we decided

Me & Bubba lit out about 4:30am for the long drive and Bubba took advantage of it and got in a good nap. We were launching the boat about daybreak and anxious to get the jigs in the water. It was slightly overcast and light winds were

Had a great turnout for last nights Stalk. Had five crews come out. The wind was tough. 15 - 20 gusts early. But settled in to maybe 10-15 as nite wore on. The fish didn’t seem to mind though. They were hungry. My boat caught 80-90. Kept our

So I turned 65 last Friday and went fishing for 5 days. Our crappie aren’t very big at this lake but we did pretty good between us. Took home 60 and turned loose many more. I believe the slab sauce really worked.

Accepted a tip that the bite was hot out there. I didn't take my chance with the ramp at Hwy TT, so I ran up from Windsor Crossing. I headed to the trees following the creek channel. Chased a few, put many on the boat. Kept 4 and the wind

My buddy Doug had been doing maintenance on his place on MTL and hasn't been out fishing and NEEDED a crappie fix so he came to my place and we got to work. He is part of the minnow boy crew and no one had any on his short trip to the mound

I will say we are 50-65% completed with the spawn @ Tville. I caught a nice mess today, lots of short males and a smattering of sub legal 10”> fish. I kept 11 spawned out females, caught offshore in 20-40 feet.

I was on the water and casting by 7:00 this morning. Air temp was a little cool, but the water had definitely warmed since I was out a couple of weeks ago. In the first 20 minutes I boated 6 and I thought Hot Dang ! It slowly

With the up and down weather this year, it has been tough to get more than one or two days a week in. But it has been good so far. Hoping this heat this week will really kick the fish in gear!
Pic is from last week. Took the weekend off

Every spring I hold my breath to see how TVA will manage the water levels during the crappie spawn on KY and Barkley lakes. We have had too many years where the crappie hit shallow water to spawn then the powers that be pull the plug, leaving

Doug left and Charlie wanted to go out and yes occasionally I do fish on a boat. We launched and went to the area I had been bank fishing and yes they were still there in numbers. Bobber and one of junglejimjigs in chartreuse and other colors
