It,s been a cold and slow start to the spring but is started to open up this morning. We found a calm day with cold water temps at 48 degrees. But the Slabs were waiting. We old guys did not get disappointed. We landed 26 nice ones. Largest

of the world's most sought-after Seafood choices for the last 50 or more years! Today's post puts it into my own, personal perspective using Mr. Sac-au-lait as the featured fish o' choice. Decided to increase today's fish-catching, fun value,

my Primo modus operandi as easily substantiated in today's tally for Mr. Speck. Don't fret... as I also enjoy the multiple arsenal of rods of l/l'g & s/r'g- that typically puts the ratio of success in the angler's favor. But for me, give

Managed to get out on the water for only the 5th time this year and only the second time in my Lund. (I own a 14' crappie jon as well for the Suffolk Lakes) I took my 15 year old step daughter who absolutely loves to fish. (Her 13 year old

Went out for the afternoon with hopes of finding a few shellcracker and enjoy the nice weather. I picked up a can of worms and hit the lake with my girlfriend about 3pm.
Lots of bites and action right away, mostly small shellcracker

While doing the boat captain thing for the high bass fishing tournament in Sunday I noticed a gentlemen catching crappie so after the weigh-in, I stopped by the spot on the way back to the boat ramp. Just off the bank white and chartreuse

My buddy Paul and I hit Taylorsville yesterday, and after a short rain delay we launched. Luckily it wasn't a madhouse at the ramp, since there was a houseboat beached on the ramp, making it a narrow 2 lane ramp.
