Well, I haven't visited the board much in the last year, but I don't want to disappoint Butch. Seriously, I've tried to cut down on "non-essentials" as what an old saying is very, very true, "getting...

I like the moderated forums. My job and family things have kept me from fishing much lately, but I like to keep up with how my buddies on the board are doing. I've met some truly fine gentlemen on...

A buddy of mine and I camped on Lake Russell several years ago and made Jambalaya with crappie fillets. It was GOOD!! That looks mighty good, too.

Jimmy, sorry to hear that. I will be praying for him....he can be assured of that. We had a man in our church who had stage-4 lung cancer, had exhausted every possible treatment, and the family had...

Butch, your guage must be broke. Flatwoods (where my farm is) has had very, very close to 5 inches through 4 PM today.

Thanks for all the prayers that have been sent up for Joyce's (wife) family over the last week. We will all miss my father-in-law. My girls will especially miss their PaPa. He loved fishing, but has...

Joyce's Daddy has been with hospice for a month or so. It is looking like the time is real short now. Going to hang close to the house for the weekend. Hope ya'll get out and fill up some coolers.

My brother and his Army buddies came from AL this weekend. Since FOM really:dono had to work? I asked Burdawg if he would fish one of the crew of 4 with me fishing the other 3 in my boat. Keith...

Sweet looking boat to me, man. Congrats. Thank you for your service, brother. You deserve to fish in style.

Thanks, Ray. Nice article.

Well, this ain't the story I wanted to write, but here goes. A very old and very wise gobbler that had given me and Nate the slip two years running was haunting me after Monday of this week. Nate and...

Sorry I messed up the name SCCAMPER, it was for the post by someone else.

SCAMPER, sorry you feel that way brother. The board has to have moderators to maintain the standard of family-friendly that this site stands for. I happen to know the moderators on the SC board and...

I've been there. My prayers are with you. God is faithful. You will always miss your Dad, but in time, God's grace will heal the hurt. Cherish all the memories and the lessons learned and pass them...

Ronnie, my prayers will be for the Great Physician to heal and bless with strenght and encouragement. God is good.

Just buy two dozen of every color. That way, you can't blame color for not catching fish.

Don't own one, but have fished out of them. The negatives for me are that they ride rough as all get-out in rough water. The wind will play havoc with you on the smaller ones, don't know about the...

Big Roy, if we do luck up and get one in, I sure will post a story. That deal last year with Nate getting his first one is a life-time memory for me! I just LOVE seeing these kids getting involved in...

Heck, it reminds me of me and my buddies back in the 80's. Usually, we could make one boat run out of the three or four we had. We had some real junkers back in them days.

All good conversation. That's the nice thing about this board. When I was young (a long time ago), I thought the bigger the cooler full, the better. With age (and I hope wisdom), I am PERFECTLY happy...

Going Friday. Don't like the 8mph winds, usually that means LOTS of wind on the water. But, I'm going to the Hill with a sandwhich and NO train to catch. I'll fish 4 creeks if I have to and try and...

The best way to know when they hit the banks is to throw a jig up against some shallow wood/cover and see if you feel a thump. Conditions do influence the spawn and it does vary from year to year....

Keith, customer service is getting to be a rarity. Thanks for sharing. I haven't had any trouble with my Minn Kota. Glad to hear they took care of you. I hope to see you on the water again soon. It...

That was some REAL FINE eating!! My wife makes that dish and a lot of folks at church are always requesting it. The eats were ALL especially good. There were some cold, wet, and hungry guys in that...

Not bad for a Clemmons Tiger Fan:Rofl That is one pretty young lady and you are a fortunate GrandPa that she would brave those elements with you today. It was great to see you guys again. Good luck...

A HUGE thank-you to ALL of the organizers, cooks, sponsors, and attendees. What a great day!! Today was the first time FOM and I have fished together in over 1 year and the fellowship on the water...

COOL!! Those fish are a LOT of fun and you're right about StumpHunter's jigs. They are tough. Congratulations on a nice mess of fish. That striper and those crappie will turn out a LOT of fillets....

What he said.

I like to tip feather jigs with minnows or tube/skirt jigs. I very seldom long-line with minnows, but I know that some do. Curly tails don't have much action tipped with a minnow IMO. I fish minnows...

I LOVE long-lining. BUT, I really got into tight-lining the right way this year and I caught some fish. I think with colder water temps or in summer when fish are really deep and less aggressive,...
