I'm brand new to fly fishing and was wondering do most of you prefer to use bead head flies or flies without bead heads when fishing for bluegills and bass? Looking at getting some wooly buggers and...

Places to shore fish in Birmingham are few and far between. A few places that you can try that are close are Lake Purdy off of hwy 280, its a 1000 acre resevoir with lots of nice crappie, bass,...

Another thing that I do in order to see if they're biting topwater. Before I start fishing, I'll take a cricket in my hand and just toss him out there and if he gets popped I know they're hitting on...

Thats a great catch Jake! I was thinking about doing some gill fishing today also, but the wind has been really bad today where I live.

Thanks RR, that's a really good idea. Do you think a heavy lb test mono leader would work also? Like say if I were to use a 20 - 30lb test leader?

This technique is deadly for catching gills. Anyone else ever do this. It works good, but can be tough to keep the crickets floating on top of the water. If you have success with this technique...

I'm sorry, but there is no way that I will ever spend over $100 for a light unless it is made from solid gold with diamond studs. I'd put money on it that I'll catch just as many fish as any of you...

I use the po-man food saver method. I use 1 gallon ziplock freezer bags and put 10 crappie fillets per bag. first fill your sink about halfway or a little more with water. then, put 10 fillets in...

x2 on starfires can't beat em for $13

I wouldn't suggest night fishing under it unless you just feel like getting out and listening to crickets and bull frogs all night. Last year, I fished near a new moon and caught a limit, went the...

You have got to get a GPS. Handheld is like $100 - $150 tops, very very good investment for your fishing. Trust me. As far as fish finder. Turn your sensitivity up high, ex. if you have a setting...

I don't think you have to worry too much about knot breaking strength when fishing for crappie to be honest. Any good 'ol uni, or even just a plain overhand knot will get the job done, doesn't...

Jig head color does not matter. Unpainted is best. I think sometimes the color of the jig head might keep the crappie from biting it, esp it the jig head is a bright color. Can't go wrong with...

I fished from 8 - 4 on 3/29 in the southern part of the lake. Water temp started out about 69 and was 74 when I left. Fished every dock and boat house in sight with jigs and minnows and only caught...

Can someone suggest a good public boat launch in or around Clear Creek or Rabbit Branch?

Nice catch! Thanks for the great report! Congrats.

What lake?

That's some great advice stringerfull! Thanks!

Now that is a great fishing report Charlie. I wish the folks in AL would post actual fishing reports like that on our board every now and then instead of " i caught 15 fish today" and that's...

b'n'm jig pole is real good. Also, better yet, a 10' shakespeare slab seeker is a very good rod and a lot cheaper. Got my 12' slab seeker from academy for like 28 bucks. I have a b-n-m also and...

vicious wins fishermen not fish, Mr crappie hi viz has the word crappie in it so it also wins fishermen not fish. Sufix, now that's just a quality fishing line, beats the other two mentioned by a...

I live 40 to 50 miles from Logan Martin, Lay Lake, Lake Mitchell, and Lake Purdy. I would definitely love to live within a 10 - 15 min. drive to the nearest hole rather than the hour drive that I...

it still shows as "big bass battle" on the guide, but that's it, hit your info button.

It always seemed like no matter what method I used, I couldn't keep my fillet knives sharp. I even bought one of those fancy electronic sharpeners, still didn't get my blades sharp enough. Now, I...

You are not alone in your thoughts maddog. People like that shouldn't even be allowed to be on the water in my opinion. Last week I took my 3 year old out in the boat with me to do a little...

Anyone know of a good place to stay near Logan Martin where I could safely park my boat at night? I'm thinking of fishing a couple of days up there with my dad and just need a place to stay that...

hold the two lines together and tie a uni on one tag end, then another uni on the other tag end, then pull both main lines to cinch them together, then trim off the tag ends. Works like a charm.

Pflueger president ultra light 6720 or 6725 model will make you a dang good reel for your set up. Bass pro makes some good ul and light action rods, but you can never go wrong with b n m either. I...

I love crappie shows as much as anyone, but that show will probably make more and more people start crappie fishing which will lead to crappie fishing becoming more and more like bass fishing, which...

When spooling a reel, you have to make sure that the spool of new line is turning in the same direction as your reel spool. One thing that works well for me is to fill a bowl up about half way with...
