I had one a bit over 2 lbs mounted on an antique brass stringer. Now one that big may not be that all that impressive but I plan on adding more 2+ pounders to the mount and a whole stringer full of...

I was out yesterday. Temp at Blue Springs was about 80. Towns Creek used to be about as close to heaven as I expect to get but has been pretty poor the last several years. Some brush around the...

Thanks to all who provided advise. It really was very helpful. Will be going out again this weekend and will definitely make use of these suggestions. Thanks again.

I am about ready to try dynamite. Doing hard time would be a snap compared to yesterday. I've been spider rigging for several years but recently "upgraded???" from my old telescopic rods and...

Eric-

Thanks much. Will give it a try and let you know how I did.

Am taking next week off work and hope to fish my tail off. I have fished Oconee for the last 10+ years - good days and bad ones - and would like to broaden my horizons. I live in the metro ATL...

Have any of you folks tried the little 5' Ugly Stick for shooting docks? How about fiberglass vs graphite?

Black walnuts contain chemicals called "juglins" that, as said above, have been used to stun fish. Although I have plenty of husk dust, I've never tried using it to poison fish since that is illegal...

Sorry I was not clear. The rod holders are driftmasters that I took off my old boat. Rather than drill holes in my new one, I made a false deck that I bolt the star bases onto. I cut it to fit...

I fish for anything anyway that is legal. One of my most memorable fish was a gar that got snagged on one of 16' rods when I was spider rigging for crappie. In a way, the difference between pan...

Welcome. I went to SIU-Cdale for 6 years and lived out between Devil's Kitchen and Little Grassy for two of those. Worked for a while in the Pine Hills LaRue Swamp. I still have a lot of friends...

The washer story reminds me of my aunt talking about getting her chest caught in the ringer. She said it hurt something fierce so she just put the ringer in reverse and cranked it back out. I asked...

Squirrel season is still in but even that is tough in the wind. Jigslinger had the right idea. If you can't fish, then practice so you won't be wasting time when you can. I'll work on so tackle...

Was there last Friday. Surface temps were 51-53. Fished Town's Creek and the cove just up from Blue Springs. Got skunked. Talked with 3 other folks. Only one fellow had caught anything - 2...

I had Eagle (Lowrance) units on my old boat and had no problem with them. About two years ago I was in the same position you are now. I had been buying a Cabelas gift card out of every pay check...

I was up there yesterday (Friday) around noon-5. I fished Towns Creek for a couple of hours - slow trolling with jigs and minnows - mostly blck/blue. Nothing.
I then tried the same thing in...

Am hoping to get up there tomorrow and try Town's Creek. Went up the Apalachee last Saturday - almost got up to the power line but chickened out a ways past the blue covered dock. I was marking...

That reminds me of one of those old British Men O War ships or a Roman galleon. If I was a crappie and saw that rascal bearing down on me, I think I would just start rolling in the corn meal.

I was able to take a good friend on his last fishing trip. It was bank fishing and he did not fish but there were 4 of us and I'll never forget it. The original post was a great idea.

The folks at Blue Springs Marina were renting units above their store. I imagine they still are. You can put your boat in there and it is a fairly short trip down to Sugar Creek. OTOH - there is...

Amen to that. It's not the boat but the guy on the other end of the rod that makes the difference.

Hadn't got the rod holders on it when I took this pic. Have driftmaster crowfoot for the front and 3/4 outdoor plywood with two driftmasters on the back. That is a 225 Vmax on the back.

On some trips, I've paid much less per pound for lobster or crab than I have for the fish I caught. OTOH - that tug on the line and frantic bend in the rod from a really good slab, to see a big ol...

Blue Springs was open a couple of weeks ago. If the water is even with or a bit lower than the top of the mound (has 3 markers on it) about 50 yds from the ramp, you should be fine. I could see a...

The folks at Blue Springs are supposedly renting out the rooms above the shop. I believe they are asking $125 per night but you may be able to bargain with them in the off season.

My puppy chewed the rubber handle on my spinning reel and I want to replace it. How do I get it off? I'm talking about just the rubber piece that you actually hold on to - not the whole handle. ...

I was up in Towns Creek a couple of weeks ago on a Monday afternoon. They were pumping water and it was really low. The island was a peninsula. The little cove was pretty much a mudflat. A good...

There is some sense to a lot of what the previous posters have said.

I'm trying to start my own little catalpa factory for my own use and have been doing some reading on both the trees and worms. ...

I fished Towns Creek on Sunday. Didn't set out the spider rig - just fan casted the shore with double jigs and minnows. Nothing - not even on the graph. I went then went up the Apalachee to the...
