The girlfriend and I had some time to kill the other evening, so we decided to do a little long line trolling for crappie on Jordan. I wasn’t expecting much, as another fisherman at...

I’ve been out fishing on both Shearon Harris and Jordan several times in the last few weeks for crappie and have done fairly miserable on both.

On Shearon Harris, I went night fishing 1-2 days...

I don’t usually use a jighead while tight lining… most of the time, I use a 1/2 - 3/4 oz egg sinker to keep the line straight so that I can control the depth better. A lot of times, I’ll spot lock or...

Well, sounds like I should go bigger. And smaller. And also try a different recipe or two [emoji23]

My usual “go to” hook is a #6-8 Gamakatsu crappie hook, since they’re strong and sticky sharp. I...

Hey everyone… I had a pretty frustrating day on my local lake yesterday. We were coming off a cold front and although I could spot plenty of fish on the livescope, getting them to bite was a...

Got out for a few hours this afternoon to fish Robeson Creek. The water is still pretty muddy from all the rain last week, with the surface temp between 61-63 degrees. I marked patches of fish...

Went out with Mac Crappie last night on Shearon Harris. After the idiots skiing around us finally left, we got settled in and down to business. Missed a bunch and had a number of catfish in the mix,...

I live about 10 minutes away from Jordan Lake, so it’s my default crappie lake. I’m a lifelong multi-species fisherman, but just started pursuing crappie a few years back. My very first outing, I...

Thanks everyone for the good input… I’m looking forward to trying it out soon and will report back.

Went out night fishing for crappie the first time last night… I purchased a really bright green LED fishing light off Etsy some years back, but just hadn’t had much of an opportunity to use it, as I...

I was there earlier in the week. Water was in the upper 50s to low 60s. I was fishing the Fearrington Point area, back in the creeks. Fish were either on the bottom or within a few feet of the...

I’ve owned multiple GoPros over the years. Unless you’re making some cutting edge video, don’t worry about buying the latest abs greatest. There are lots of perfectly fine refurbished and used models...

Curious, does anyone know why most of the ramps on Jordan Lake open so late (8 am)? I’ve always found this odd, especially in the warmer months, when fishermen typically prefer to get on the water at...

Anyone catching fish at Jordan yet? I’ve been itching to get back there since it closed several weeks ago... I was doing pretty decent in the winter. Of course, all of the fish have migrated by...

Looks like it drops about a foot per day when the spillway is wide open, so it’ll be at least another 2 weeks (without heavy rain) before it’ll be back to normal... crappie should be staging outside...

Just curious, why does Shearon Harris not flood as badly as Jordan does?

(And where can I find some crappie there this time of year, now that my favorite fishing hole is blown out for at least...

I drive by Jordan almost daily and the lake is very high right now. The 64 bridge had water that looked like chocolate milk and the Seaforth ramp was underwater. Sometimes, the smaller creeks open...

That’s a great fish! How long is a 3 lb crappie? Also, I am impressed by the number of bait coolers you own (on the shelf) [emoji23]

There’s an area in Pittsboro called Bynum Beach.... it’s just off of 15-501, south of the river. In the late spring and summer, it can be a great place to wade fish for small bass, bream,...

Been fishing Jordan several times the last few days and it’s been hit or miss for me. Friday I did ok trolling jigs and minnows, with about 8 total over 3 hours, then had a hard time with the fish...

Jim,

As the others here can attest, the sky is the limit for what you can spend getting into fishing.

My advice is to keep it simple starting out. When I was a kid, one of my favorite Christmas...

Fishing rods to men are like pairs of shoes to women...[emoji23]

I’d eat ‘em [emoji23]

I got a chance to play with the Livescope a bit when I went out fishing with a crappie guide (Freddie Sinclair) last year. I thought it was really great, but just can’t justify spending that kind of...

I use a Scotty 823 Sea Light. It fits in all of the mounts I have all over my kayak and on my canoe.

Got out for a rare evening paddle on Roberson creek last night. The surface temperature was a hot 87 degrees and I wasn’t marking a whole lot of fish inside of the creek.

Outside, I marked a lot...

I bought a 12v 35AH battery as a back-up battery for a long trolling trip in my 14 ft canoe. It weighs 22 lbs and is about 1/2 the weight of my larger 55AH main battery. If cost isn’t an issue, they...

Roberson Creek was open the last time I went a few weeks ago. It’s a 24 hour ramp.

I would guess gar or catfish.
