Caught this big ol' slab last week on a gray ghost hand-tied jig, at Lathem reservoir. 2.47 lbs, over 16". Caught 3 over 2 lbs that day (all released - I only keep crappie if between 11 and 14 inches). Spring is nearly here, and the big

Decided to make one of my bank fishing trips to a causeway on Hwy 79 this morning with a buddy. Started with minnows under lighted bobbers and we picked up a few, but good quality fish! Then as the sky started to lighten we switched over

I thought the hard water season might have been over after the warm temps on Wednesday and Thursday and quite a bit of rain overnight Thursday into Friday. Then the bottom fell out of the thermometer mid morning on Friday and hasn't been above

Hit the lake in a new spot that I havent fished this year early Wednesday morning and fought the cold (mid 30's) idling out on the lake to where I wanted to begin at. I began longlining in water 25' deep pulling 8' deep. I only picked up a

Couple crazy weather days Thursday, think the mercury hit 86F & the wind put us on the hunt Friday....even soaked some minnows [emoji50]. Couple different lakes, creeks, & river. Jigged, trolled, & cork...no takers on the minnows,

Fished Norman again and had a great time with JetJockey. We went back to where I got them yesterday. Found some schools in the back of a creek and went further back and saw scattered fish that troller love to see. Scattered fish 6-10 feet.

My valentine and I found a nice mess yesterday. I caught several under docks but then when she joined me we found some large schools out from docks. Couldn’t guess how many throwbacks we had been it was a lot!
Did good fishing a few hours in the mornings the last three mornings. Capped it with 15 caught today. Yay. These were from a clear water area of the lake and the fish are gorgeous. All released so I can catch'em again.
I'm still doing what I usually do, longlining double rigs dipped in slabsauce fishing in about 5-7 ft of water trolling .9-1mph. Using Pico

Got out on Lake Griffin for a few hours Friday. Not much luck to start with but did manage to find a few. Switched up from Hoggie crankbaits to Hoggie hair jigs for a slower presentation...and low and behold they worked too, my first time using

I fished Indian Creek today, kept 18 and returned about a dozen larger fish. Shorts, gills and skipjack seemed to be everywhere. Fish were 5 to 6 feet deep and caught single pole on a Bobby Garland Tuxedo Black using a 1/16oz jig head. I could

Well have the B-n-L coming to town, so I'd thought I would scout some other waters. Thursday went to a old favorite Harney & for the 1st time in memory /no trolling poles, just 2 jigging. Caught 9 or so in 10 fow @ the 46 bridge, only 1

These warmer days have every angler thinking about fishing for spawning crappie. The longer, sunshine days have the female crappie in the initial stages of spawning, but the majority of crappie are still in deeper water. To catch these crappie anglers need to fish in the right areas and using a presentation that will put a lure in the strike zone.
Been having a blast on Harris. Even resorted to only keeping fish over 12" as freezer is getting packed. Those livewell shots are 3 different days in a week, 23, 18, 15. Even keeping Jake on point. Some days dipping pads or grass, some

Put in at SouthPoint Sunday and drove way down the lake checking brush piles as I went. Couldn’t find fish holding to structure. Ran into a guy (who I believe is on this forum) and gave me a heads up where there were some holding around Goat
