I agree Mac, if it ain't submersible, I ain't using it. No bugs makes for a much more enjoyable trip. I use Brinkman starfires, front. middle, & back of boat. Set them about 1 foot deep. Never used...

Heard that shortly after my daughter was born & have never...

Pam, I do alot of nightstalking but never trolled in the dark so i really can't offer any ideas. Just thought I'd chime in with my opinion of the moon phases. I fish at night 3 weeks out of the...

While Lake James is the most beautiful lake you'll ever see in my opinion, the family campground on the Burke county side is no longer an option, Some guy in Florida bought it last year & only rents...

i fished Norman 9 days ago & never got a shallow bite. Glad there finally moving. Mind if I ask which end you were on ? I fished lower end out of Blythe landing.

Tough day Friday, Fished several coves on upper end from front to back with no luck. Fished stumps, docks, brush shallow or deep, fish just would not cooperate. I did find 1 brushpile in @ 25' of...

Treed - I have had some good trips night fishing at Rhodhiss. Upper end in my opinion has more fish, but, much smaller size.
I always seem to catch better size on lower end. Fair amount of brush...

What a beautiful day to spend on the water, only way it coulda been better is if the fish would have shown up ! Did manage to catch 7 crappie, only 2 keepers. Caught 5 off of first brushpile i went...
