For those who love crappie fishing the spring spawn is always special. For the weekend warriors it can be a hit or miss proposition. A couple of days to fish and back to work. I paid my dues and now...

Will be at Enid 1st full week of April. Thought I might fish at least one night to see if it works as well there as it does in Tennessee.

Used the rig for the first time this weekend on Percy Priest lake in Tennessee. Caught a few nice fish and the rig worked just like I thought it would. It hooked the fish in the top of the mouth each...

I have seen rigs similar to this for drop shot fishing but never liked the hook or the price so I made my own. I used stainless wire. I think it is about .018 in dia. but can't swear to...

I buy my minnows by the pound at the local bait shop and keep them at home. (see "homade minnow tank") There are about 15 dozen medium tuffies in a pound. If you use shiners there will be less of...

Freezer is a great idea. just make sure it dosent leak. Some do. If you have to seal the joints make sure you let the sealer fully cure before adding water. Most sealers will emit harmful chemicals...

I have kept them for 4 months without any problem.

You can find minnow saver at most high end bait shops. You can also order it on line at Bass Pro Shops. Get the smallest amount available because it doesn't take very much of that stuff to condition...

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I keep my tank in my basement. As long as you keep it out of direct sunlight you will be OK. Remember this in only supposed to be a temporary tank. It is not designed to hold your bait over several...

I know many of you have difficulty with procuring bait on an as needed basis. I am no different. Last year I read several post about building minnow tanks for personal use. I thought about if for a...

Been catching some up in Drakes. Better than average size. Most of them are in the 12"+ range with a few smaller. Using 2.5 curleys in about 6' of water. It will get back to normal by Thursday i bet.

There are probably as many fish caught form the bank at Enid as from a boat. Go to Wal-Mart and buy you a good Enid map if you do not already have one. It will help you find access areas on Enid. The...

My pal in Water Valley tells me that the boat trailers are backed up all the way out to Hwy 32 form the Water Valley Boat ramp. It's that time again!

Was coming down on the 8th but got snowed in!! Looks like it will be the end of March now. No doubt the fish will be moving up by then. Can any one give me some info on the new regulations.

Thanks! I can't wait.
