Last Spring Gillchaser mentioned one of his favorite fishing sites is next to a boat launching ramp. Shortly after, I fished a launching site that I had bypassed 50+ times. That doggone site...

Nice bluegill rig and good luck with your bluegill search. I like reading anything about UL bluegill fishing. Don Fischer mentioned Okuma rods for UL and I have a 5'6" and a 6'0" Okuma Celilo. ...

I really enjoyed your story for two reasons; one, catching fish on jigs you tied yourself is a great thrill, and secondly, taking time to view and enjoy nature in the area adds to a fishing trip. ...

I can also vouch for the Shakespeare Micro Series and I'm a bank angler. Fished the 6 1/2'L last year and enjoyed it for crappies and SMB. It is flexible without being noodly. The 7'L (which I...

Good fishing trip and good advice.

Nice catch and good fishin' tips.

Over the past year I've experimented with Stren Crappie Mono 2# Hi-Vis and S.O.S. Trout Mono 2# and like them both. With each, I've been able to straighten out a few thin wire hooks from snags which...

Wonderful Thanksgiving posts, and more ways to be thankful for the life that we have.

Happy Thanksgiving! Sometimes the crappies you work hardest for are the most rewarding.

At 76, I've been stuck on mono since Dad bought me a Narmco Conolon spinning rod, Waltco Ny-O-Lite reel, and whatever mono (stiff as bucktail) when I was 11. A huge step up from a Bronson casting...

I'm glad to hear of your recovery. I always enjoy reading your posts and practical advice.

I also enjoy watching Richard's videos, and believe his are the best on YouTube. His tips and techniques have put plenty of fish on the end of my line this year.

Glad you were able to get out and have a good catch, and have more trips to look forward to.

Alphahawk; Thanks for an enjoyable video. From your earlier writings I learned about trout magnets and have had good success with them this year on bluegill and smallies. They are the real deal...

I echo what DeathB4Disco said on this. Any investment advisor who has high fees, charges and commissions should be avoided. Those costs eat away at one's savings and investments. Like he said,...

I've also been using 2# Stren Crappie Mono, mostly for bluegills, the past few months and well satisfied with the strength and lack of memory. Haven't caught anything huge on it but landed a 15"...

I enjoy your videos and like learning more about JDM rods and different lines.

Great story. I have a 6' B & M Crappie Spinning Rod and enjoy using it for crappies and occasionally, bass.

Nice catch. Good lookin' crappies!

I made a comment on the thread "New St Croix " originated by Alphahawk.

In retrospect, the comment was inappropriate. If I offended anyone or inadvertently disparaged anyone's fishing equipment,...

Fine catch.

Good catch. Sometimes catching fish under difficult conditions makes it more satisfying.

Nice catch! Great way to break in the new rod.

The marketing people also call $380 fly rods entry level. The fly rods I used didn't even make entry level, but they did what I wanted them to do, and did it efficiently.

Great story, and best wishes to you toward the fulfillment of your dream!

Happy Birthday again, and I can't think of a better gift than a half dozen really nice crappies!







Happy birthday again, and I can't think of a better gift than a half dozen really nice...

Three casts and stuck on a rock. Darn. Wait! The "rock" leaped a foot out of the water and turned out to be a 15" smallie.

This morning's goal was to test a 6'6" L Shakespeare Micro Series rod...

Happy Birthday! And I'm so thankful for this site.

I, too, support Richard Gene in his quest. When I joined CDC earlier this year, one of the rules was that one would leave a fishing site cleaner than he found it. Years ago, I belonged to the Ohio...

Gillchaser999 - Nice catches there. How do you like your TFO Trout-Panfish rod? I was a fan of TFO when I fly fished. Still tie jigs for crappies and bluegills; a lot of estaz and marabou.
