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!

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

Me and a buddy took our wives on a recent camping trip down to Clark's Hill Lake. My grandson, Ashton (Bubba), was able to join us on the last day of our trip and able to enjoy some catching. Any time off to relax is enjoyable, but time spent

Friday afternoon started shallow and picked at a few, mostly small. Changed it up and started trolling in 20-25FOW. Size increased but bite was slow. Ended the day trolling through 12-16FOW and that was the sweet spot. Brought home 6 for the
