Been off the water for about 10-12 days due to working on our grounds at hunting camp. Had today off due to some mechanical issues so thought I’d go fish a little while.
It took me about 3 hours to find the fish I was looking

This morning before daylight, Biofisher and I hit the lake for Gary’s last trip until mid October. It was nearly a copy of yesterday’s trip. Better fish today and we landed 13 out of 16 crappie hookups. I did catch a yellow bass and a big Skipjack.

My friend, Biofisher aka Gary Fomby, and I hit the crappie before daylight. We doubled with keepers on our first casts. It was game on until about 6:16 am when the fish decided that they had played with us enough. We were spot locked in 20

Had an opportunity to do some research yesterday. Was testing plastic, hair, & feather jigs in 1/32 oz. Got an early start and caught a couple on different color jigs (my Ghost pattern & one other). Tried a new jig combo I just come

I hadn't fished one of the local lakes in a few months, so I tried it again on Saturday. Got a late start (8:30 a.m.), but the fish weren't going anywhere. In paddling across a main arm of the lake, I noticed most of the fish on the depthfinder

The past 3 Sundays have been very good for Dr Phillip, and friends. We have been launching the boat before daylight (5:30) and stopping at 9 am before it gets too hot. We have had 15, 17, 16 keepers the past 3 weeks.
Packed up the gear and headed out after work. Air temperature at a humid 84, water temp at 81! Launched about 5:15 and called it a night just short of 8. Wind was down and I figured I'd be in for a decent evening of catching. Nope!

Let’s get real. There are only four types of reels you can use when you go crappie fishing. You can use a spincast, baitcasting, spinning, and fly fishing reel.
The reel deal is crappie anglers use multiple rods and need lots of fishing reels to put on their rods. Which reel they use depends on what technique and fishing rod they are using although there are some techniques that allow crappie anglers to use whatever reel they

This one small lake I fish has shorelines with trees overhanging 2-3' of depth. Crappie, bass and sunfish hang out there in the middle of the day and can be caught the same way you would when flipping under docks which this lake has none.

Dr Phillip and I took our friend Randy fishing with us again this morning and had a great day of catching quality crappie topped by a 14” TARP black and no keepers under 11”. Three short crappie, 7 yellow bass and one nice 18.25” Largemouth

Been out of commission during the week with the heat and busy work schedule, but I took My neighbors son out for a morning on the water. Had a wheel bearing failure last week on my way home from Cumberland River and I swapped hubs late

Is when we said that is likely the limit !
At 108 outside it gets a bit toasty on the brain matter and you start to resemble a full water cooler as you can't seem to drink enough water to keep up with the amounts of water leaving

I'm putting on a fish fry for my family in a couple of weeks and after weighing the fillets I have on hand I found that I didn't have enough for the 100 or so that are expected to show up. Dang it, we had to go fishing to try and add to my

Back to Louie for another learning Livescope session. Big motor ran great, trolling motor only 24 volt hi! Not very sneaky. Fished my usual spots with 2 fish to show for my effort. Started looking for new stumps and lay downs. They are easy

Everyone knows you can rig a boat, but how about a kayak? Not having a platform in the back deck or front deck seems like it would limit rigging configurations. Nevertheless, transforming your kayak for crappie fishing isn’t as hard as you think.
Typically, a crappie angler fishing from a kayak is not one poling using live imaging sonar aka LiveScope. They are using multiple poles and may or

On the 3wt I had a 4/5 Redington Zero reel loaded
