Atta boy! Nice catch.

It's good to hear from you. Thanks for watching.

In my opinion the fish will start to move off the timber to open water. The Fall bite is much like the pre-spawn bite. This is a great time of year for long lining.

We decide where to troll based on time of year, location of timber, ledges, creek beds, mouths of coves, water conditions, what the depth finder shows, intel from other fishermen and luck. Jim fishes...

That is a great catch. Thanks for posting.

Some of the best fishing I've had on Oconee was from Thanksgiving through February.

Hope you are on the rebound.

Jim and I fished yesterday and had a good day of catching. The trolling has been a bit slow for us as of late but we were able to find some hungry fish. Hope you enjoy the video.

FALL CRAPPIE...

Praying for both of you.

Thank you for your reply. I have made the trip many times both by air and driving. I had not driven to Montana in over 20 years so I didn't know how it would go. Nothing is as easy as it used to be....

I drove straight through from Cameron, Montana. I left Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. Georgia time and got home at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday evening. I think that was about 34 1/2 hours. There was a lot of...

Thanks for posting. Great fish!

18 keepers is always a good day. Glad to see you're after them. Thanks for the post.

Jim and I fished Friday for the first time in two months. We found a lot of fish. They are all still there. We caught one keeper. We trolled.

It looks like you need to teach me. There is no way I could catch a limit of good fish trolling this time of year. Send me a PM with your contact info and we will get together when the water cools...

Good job! Summer crappie fishing is tough. You done good.

Praying for you Curtis.

I switched from the Xi5 to MK Terrova a few years ago. I agree with what crappiemax said regarding the remote. That is the reason I made the switch. I upgraded to a 24 volt system with 80 lb thrust...

Jim we have fished for crappie through the summer. We don't fish as much due to the heat. I caught my biggest crappie in the month of August a few years ago. At that time we were pushing minnows on a...

Jim and I combo trolled Lake Oconee this morning. The water was 79 degrees when we started and we found plenty of fish in the timber. We trolled 1 mph. I pulled 8 rods. Some of my rods were rigged...

So sad. I hate to hear that. Jonathan was a good Christian man. He will be missed.

We use trolling sinkers. They have swivels on both ends.

Ours are 16 foot B&M PST163N; 1/2 oz sinker in you slow troll or 3/4 oz if you troll faster. We use 3/4 oz because we troll at long line speeds. I would recommend 1/2 oz sinker if you troll slower...

It works fine out of the back of the boat. Jim and I fished that way before I started long lining. Obviously if you are alone it is easier to face forward so you can watch where you are going. I...

Get well soon Curtis.

I tried a different approach (for me) on Lake Oconee yesterday. I pushed six 16 foot rods with jigs tipped with minnows. I was able to catch 11 good fish before the boat traffic, gar fish and wind...

It got so rough while we were rolling up I thought I was going to fall out of the boat.

Jim and I fished Lake Oconee today from 7:00 until 1:30. We combo trolled 1 mph over timber and kept 24 fish that were between 11-13.5 inches. The water was 78-79 degrees. We found a lot of fish...
