My friend Capt. Antill and I went out in his pontoon boat yesterday thinking it was gonna be a warm, nice day. Instead it was cloudy, rainy, and chilly. Started out a 7:15. Armed with some minnows and melhorn bait we decided to anchor under

I met up with Uncle Remus this morning at Ebinezier landing. We put the toon in at 7:00 and fished until 1:30. It was a calm and foggy morning when we started out the water temperature was 54.
Marked some fish and the perch jerking was

Two of us fished the Gravois on Presidents Day and pulled out a couple limits corking BG Baby Shads 5-6' deep in the back of a main lake cove. Fish were suspended in the back of the cove 6-10' down in 20-30' of water. We graphed some fish on

Don’t be jealous. One is good, but two is even better. Lots better for roamers.
No one knows this better than Truman Lake Crappie fishing guide Barry Morrow. “Right now is a great time for casting double drops for roamers. Crappie are starting to move from their wintertime haunts to pre-staging areas,” Morrow continued, “I like to think they are traveling down the highway

Bill_Collector came down to the house this past weekend and we tried to find some fish. Managed a few but it was tuff. Water was about rollin mud all the way down the little river. Crescent Crest was just heavy stained and that’s area is where

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
