Fought high water again, this time in Waccamaw River. Yellow perch are starting to make their way toward the lake. Gave a few to an old timer who wasn't having much luck, kept these for the...

Fought the high water, wind, and rain. Beat out a mess in the Black River.392047

Those apps and books, written by people who write books about fishing as opposed to just going fishing... Those people telling outdoorsmen when it is or isn't a good day to go fishing? Yeah, that's...

Went out on the Black a couple times the first week in November and had some decent action. Made a new PB! Exactly 2 pounds and 16" and change. We don't grow em quite as as large in the down east...

Not gonna lie, I've been using one of the NC crappie report fb groups so I haven't posted here in a while. Was on the water at sunlight the day after the rain came, knew I didn't have much time and...

Good stuff. Last three trips I've given all my fish away. It's nice knowing that you're making someone's day just by sharing. When I give someone a few pounds of filleted, skinned fish it brings more...

That's what I thought. Born and raised in Riegelwood, fished all migratory runs my whole life. First Cape Fear white I've ever laid eyes on. Also caught tons of stripers, including a yellow tag, and...

May seem like a no brainer to some of y'all. But traditionally we don't have white bass runs in the Cape Fear. This was caught at L&D #1 in Riegelwood. Caught all the usual morones; white perch and...

Thanks JL. Mighty fine dinner it was. You get so much meat off of those beauties.

People spend their entire lives and fortunes searching for the secret to life. There it is.

Had about an hour and a half one day last week after work, hit the Black River. I'd caught a hanful of yellows out of this hole throughout the years but had never caught a bunch back to back. I'll...

Fished Town Creek a few hours this weekend. Water was 49 degrees, high, and moving fast. Beat out a mess but it was tough. Fish were still deep and males didn't have any color yet. Some years I'm...

I don't fish the lakes, only coastal rivers, so forgive me if I'm speaking out of school. But if there are white perch in the lakes in question I have a hard time believing that the crappie do more...

On more than one occasion I've caught em with my bait just hanging a foot or two deep off the side of the boat while handling one I just unhooked. Rare, but it can happen if you're on a school. But...

Another nice day on the Black River. 11 keeper crappie, 1 yellow perch. Countless dinks. Largest crappie 13". Trolled shiners today.

El cheapo 10' Lifetime sit on top. I've got it hooked up with a better seat and lots of scotty rails for electronics and rod holders. I'm running a Garmin striker 4cv with DI and gps. Making the best...

I'm in a kayak. There's a private ramp at the 53 bridge and a NCWRC ramp about a mile from the 53 bridge. Look on their website, it shows all ramp locations. It would be the Hunt's Bluff ramp. And...

Forgot to load the end result. Crappie for din din tomorrow!

Finally found a couple hours to fish this morning. River was flooded pretty bad, water was out the banks. Managed a dozen keepers, around a dozen throw backs. Most of the keepers came off of one...

I'd never say get physical but when you catch these idiots be assertive and insist they clean up. They'll apologize and clean up nine times out of ten. But if no one calls them out they'll do it...

I fish out of a kayak. Get you a some scotty rails and rod holders and tightline. It's so easy to get turned sideways in a kayak, even with just the slightest breeze, so long lines are easily...

Guys I know they're keeping the water up at Jordan but every drop they can keep out of the SE river basins is greatly appreciated down here.

Yes, the dam at Boiling Spring broke. It was only 10 or 15 years ago that they drained the lake and rebuilt the dam. The fishery had only in recent years recovered.

Haven't posted in a while, but was looking forward to the cooler weather and getting back on some slabs. Mother nature had other plans. Here are a few of my fall and winter spots. The one with all...

Don't know your travel limits, but Waccamaw and Sutton are shellcracker hotspots. The ones in Sutton are some of the largest I've ever seen. Last time I caught them there they were eating crappie...

Was windy and tough in a kayak. Managed to pick off a mess. Biggest crappie 12", biggest perch 11". Fished about an hour. Would have loved to have stayed but it was too much work and I was...

I'm swithcing to a ram mount off the side of the kayak, but am having a hard time cleaning the remaining duct seal off of my transducer. Tried acetone and it took a little of the silver paint off of...

I recently istalled a Garmin Striker 4 Plus CV on my yak using the duct seal in hull method. Instead of getting arcs for fish I'm getting "lines of blobs" (for lack of better words). Sorry, no pic. I...

Had about 30 mins this morning before work to make a few casts in back of a deep creek at high tide. Black/chartreuse Crappie Magnet on 1/16 jig under slip bobber fished slow caught four or five in...
