I “guided” for my boys and nephew the morning in MN and did very well trying out planer boards for the first time with a bluebird sky. The small Original Clear boards worked well for us with the boys becoming adept at releasing the front clip.

Being as today was my first of 3 days off I wanted to fish again this afternoon after yesterday's catch. So....I got there an hour earlier than yesterday
(@ 4:15PM)
and during that hour I caught 1 small catfish on a jig. THAT WAS IT!!

Waited around at the boat ramp for awhile then dropped the boat in because if I am here I might as well fish. Off I went hit a few of my spots that used to be good and caught a lot of fish just not keepers. But every now and then one would

Well it's been a little time in the making, but final convinced Danny to do some speck fishing. We got on the water at 8am, & it looked bleak to start with water like glass & (2) fish to show for till about 11am then the wind picked

I hit the water nice and early. Les had gotten to the ramp right after I did so we were off to a good start. We made our way to our normal starting spot and put out the rods. We got to watch the sun come up.
It takes a dummy like me to really appreciate a smart fishing rod. “Poletap SmartRod TACKOBOX Slab Hunter Spinning rod with Electronic Bite Alert” is what it's officially called, I think, I'm not quite sure I got it right! But anyway, it's long name, I just call it a SmartRod. And it is smart! I say it's “Got Your Six”.
CUonthelake couldn’t go this morning and Phil is in Idaho, so I had to go by myself today. It was a perfect day weather wise. The crappie wanted to play and I had a ball catching all these fish. I ended up with 10 keepers and 33 short fish

Been having good luck on the James. Got a spot with really nice thick fish up to 14” but the tide had to be just right. Another is a submerged tree in about 8’ of water in a bay/pit with no real current. This evening we are casting to the tree

Started not early enough with the mandatory Dunkin stop and and a grove back by the house to deliver some for the Queen. We got to the ramp and dropped in without incident and were setting rods within ten minutes. Slow would be the word for

Took the kayak to an electric-only water reservoir near me. It is only open from 8AM-5PM, no rec boaters, just a few others fishing. This is a real pretty lake, usually very clear, about 400 acres. I got a late start and fished 11-4 today in

I met Candi at Food City parking lot at 9:30 and we drove to Skull Island ramp and crappie fished until 12:00. We fished docks in the mid lake area and had fair success for the short time that we fished. 9 keepers and several short fish. Candi

Had an opportunity to get in another trip after work and launched about 4:45. Fairly strong breeze from the SSE but I expected that and expected also that it would lay down before too long and it did, thankfully. Air temperature was 68, water

Water temperature here in Southern Indiana was between 64-65 and even thought the bite was slow still managed to catch 12 eaters.
All between 10-12” with a couple being a little bigger.
Everything on double minnow rig.

Today was the first full day for my friend Les of retirement. So like any good friend would do, I invited him out fishing. Now this is not something new for me to do. I have invited him out fishing lots of times, and some of those times have
