Did you catch them shallow or deep?

Red Snapper rigs are ready to go as soon as the wind cuts out!
Appreciate the intel!

Probably Monday or Tuesday night. Got some work to do on the boat this weekend.

Have only done it a couple times with mixed results, and that's been a couple years ago. Trying to decide where to...

Yeah I guess I should have spent a $100 extra bucks for Navionics. Sucks because you'd think Badin would be on this since the rest of the chain is. I've got the navionics app on my phone so I guess I...

My says it's v16.

Anyone else got a Lowrance that uses the Lake Insight Pro card ? It's a microSD card.

Finally got time to play around with it and the map shows contours for Tillery, High Rock and even...

I just got the Hook 7 inch and so far I like it. Only had it two trips so still working out the settings I like.

Got out on the water around 8. Would have been sooner but some dumb-arse forgot to put the plug in :bash. Man that water was cold this morning!

Water was muddy, wind got up good around 10 am. ...

Got a deal I couldn't pass up on the Hook 7. Hope to try it out this weekend... just trying to decide whether to try for stripers or crappie. :)

My old Lowrance LMS-520 (I think that's the model) finally quit on me. Looking to replace it and not wanting to spend a ton of money. Got Lowrance on the big boat at the beach so staying with that...

Been a few weeks since I've been able to fish. Hit Tillery in dense fog at sunrise. Slowly got to my spot and picked at the fish all morning. Kept my limit off mostly 11-12 inch fish. Had two at 14...

Live bait upriver. But that was 25 years ago. I really need to go explore that lake again.

Used to fish there 20 years ago with my grandpa. Back then lots of perch, some slab crappie and nice catfish with stripers at the dam. Been itching to take my skiff back up there and scout around. ...

I mostly long line for crappie. Any of you guys have any secrets for transporting your rods to the lake and make without getting a bunch of tangled? I typically fish two jigs on each rod and that...

Decided to try out the long lining on Tillery Friday morning. Got frustrated early with perch. I couldn't get away from them in 15-25 fow early on. Trolled another area and wasn't catching anything...

Yeah I'm usually fishing in 20-30 ft of water with fish suspended around 10-15. Guess it's about the same as I usually do. Just got to find them!

Thanks! Any particular depths you target? I usually have had my best luck in 20-30 feet in major creeks or creek mouths but that's my winter and spring pattern.

I usually crappie fish winter and spring and long lining is my favorite way to fish. Anyone do that much this time of year?

Usually fish Badin or Tillery. Most of my summer crappie fishing has...

Long lining really produced again. Flying solo, 30 ft of water, dark jigs and a steady bite. Real good quality... 5 fish were 10-11 inches, the other 15 were all 12-14 inch fat fish.

Fished this morning for a few hours. Best bite was 7:30-9:00 and then it slowed way down and then 10:30-12:00 picked back up. Long line trolling did the trick. Caught 35 fish between 10-13...

Here's the only pic I took. Took it to rub it in to a buddy that I was on the lake and he wasn't. :-)

Hit the lake at 4:15, fished until 7:00. Fought the wind and found a few fish. Ended up with 13 keepers in the 10-11 inch range and a couple decent perch.

I didn't do much looking around but all the water I saw was dingy. Had to dodge some trash but not terrible. Went back today and caught 35 or so. Brought home 23.

Couldn't stand it anymore. Snuck out to the lake after work and fished from 4:30-6:30. Caught about 25 long lining. Kept ten fish all 10-12 inches. No real big fish and a lot of throw backs.

Good...

Nothing on the stripers at all. Water temp was 47.

May try again this weekend if I can get some work finished up.

Got a little bit of a late start this morning but headed to Badin. Pulled for stripers for an hour or so while I rigged up my crappie rods. Those 14 hour days of school/coaching don't leave much time...

Feed store works for me.

Far be it from Pete to stir the pot! But when you deliver like that you deserve to be able to open it up a bit.

Nice haul again Pete!

Aww just give Pete a six pack and he will give you all the info you want. Some of it will even be true!

Not bad for a tourist!
