The last thing you want to hear when fishing;
PHRASES THAT FRIGHTEN
1. Did you put the plug in?
2. Have I ever shown you top speed on this baby?
3. That hose sure resembles a snake.
4. What's...

Probably right. That's how fishing goes.

There are 4 great 'truths' of fishing:



1. Catching fish is easy;
finding them is the hard part
2. Dry...

Doesn't really matter, so long as you remember the number one rule; 'To catch fish, you must first learn to FIND them.' Sorta like picking apples; gotta find an apple-bearing trees first; then it's...

This is more poor management of the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 habitat. Destroying erosion-preventing rooted vegetation along the west shoreline. It's already rocked, so the rooted growth...

Farm 13/Stick Marsh 'Before/After" Photos. Once again, a FL Govt agency (I suspect the St Johns Water Mgt District), has no idea. Just trying to find work, spend budget, and protect a part of their...

Actually, the hurricanes of 2004 made the crappie fishing take off big-time. They killed the grass and all those crappie were just left wandering out in open water. Where before the grass was too...

Let me really light your jets about this. In my part of Florida, we have 'winter guests' from Canada who used to come down in a motor home and park at the ramp area for a week during the spawn. They...

Actually, the original Gray Ghost has always had a hackle feather tail. It moves smoother and easier than maribou or hair, and that's why we made it that way.

Genuine grown one from the Stick Marsh!!!

I suppose the reason is that we never found the sickle hook to provide any advantage. Same went for red hooks, which got popular for awhile. It's had to beat that little sharp Eagle Claw.

The simple answer is to never keep more than you intend to eat. Other times (when you don't need them), toss them all back. Why kill them just to show them off???

Yep, I agree. The small Kastmaster spoon is good too. It is really tough on white bass.

They catch a LOT of fishermen. No real advantage. Trust me, I've been at this for 60 years.

Go to EBay and search for crappie jig heads'. You'll find just what you want. More stuff on EBay than I ver thugh possible!!!!!

If you can find them, a hard lure called a HotShot is really tough to beat. You want the smallest size and it will have one small treble hook. It is a lipped, diving plug. 'Small' is why it is so...

Looking for Jimmy Rowell who fishes Black Lake. Can anyone put me in contact???

Unless I am missing something here, I think it is impossible to tie a jig so it runs with the hook point down!??!

Great info. Another suggestion, which may be a bit stronger knot, is to tie a 3-4 inch loop using a bowline knot at the top. Either way, its a fine idea. AND, it provides TWO strings of line holding...

Believe it or not, spawning periods are more regulated by THE LENGTH OG THE DAY than temp. Temp assures the fry survive, but the when is an inherient thing for that location passed on and refined for...

Maybe I will get to do that this winter. Always wanted to fish the 'big waters'. Right now, there's too much 'holiday seasons' and the visitors and family keep-a-coing!!

New Marsh areas are always behind schedule. Now looks like 2014-2015, but fishing won’t be much until after that.

Garcia is the same as always – tons of fish, most small. Stick Marsh is still...

I don't appear to have any missed calls nor emails on your jigs, nor open orders. But, Murphy's Law can always work its way in sometimes! To figure out what the problem is, I need the name you...

You are responsible for your jugs. Read ther dang law. If you are so xxxxxx as to think it's wrong to run that jug, then release the fish. At least, you saved the fish.

I ahve ONE 4-pack of the new Gray Ghost. First come, first served. same price. Call me at 828-835-3603

Seems to apply. Appears they can find a lure in cloudy water OK, SO LONG as it moves slowly. But, until one of us gets to talk to a crappie and ask what amkes him tick, and BITE, we may never know...

I have been at this crappie jerkin' for over 50 years. I have my own 'favorite colors', as do each of you. Personally, I don't think color is really an issue, given a lure that moves slowly and looks...
