I got there early to try my new Thump City jigging pole in one of the stump fields back in there only catching a little bass and a gar. Not much luck so I started pulling cranks catching some small ones and more garfish, by 9 30 I had 6 keepers

The wife and I have been fishing cross a lot this year, but have slowed down since it's been so hot, we went a couple days ago and fished some tops that I put out, and done a little dock shooting. Also pulled some cranks one afternoon but

I’ve been fishing VFW Lake on a regular basis since 2004. I kept it up until 2015. I then moved and the drive turned into 1.5 hours one way where in 2004 it was a 39 mile drive. So being nostalgic and armed with a new XUL area trout rod I hit

Set the crappie poles aside this past weekend to get Layne and a friend out to set lines on a small lake our friends own. Will be a fishing trip they always remember as Layne pulled a new PB flathead catfish into the kayak - 45" long and

I was Crappie fishing with a 5.5 ft light action rod with 6 lb line. Darn near broke the rod twice just ahead of the reel. About 40 inches and 10 lbs. Twice it bent the rod clear back to about 12 inches ahead of the

My dad and I took a trip to fish Lake Keokee in Virginia. We hadn’t ever been there before but had read it had some decent sunfish in it and few crappie so off we went. I took along 3 sticks with me... The Abu, Tict Rockin Finesse, and 7’4”

Stopped by Mitch’s and he showed us where the magic happens. Being the perfectionist he is, he still hand makes some specific colors and styles himself that he can’t get done right.
He also makes great ribs which were definitely done right.
He starts from scratch too when he makes his ribs!

Full moon came up early this evening. I hit a new spot before sunset. It's a very small pond with an aeration fountain near the middle. Started out trying for bass with no luck. Switched to a TM under a float and caught a bunch of gills. Plan

It’s early. Way too early to be awake, but the ringing from your cell phone is coercing you to get up. Normally you lay in bed hitting the snooze button, but this morning you jump out of bed in anticipation of your first crappie tournament.
Every angler that’s ever fished in a crappie tournament knows that excitement they feel before each and every tournament. Each and every angler anticipates catching the

Decided to give the hot summer mornings here in the capital district another shot. Have gone a few times between my last post and this morning, but just haven’t been able to put my finger on em. Been getting on the water around 6:30-7 and just

It seems that Biofisher brings out the best in the crappie bite. We had a before daylight start and fished until 8:30 with 12 keepers landed and 3 other big crappie pulling off at the net. Bummer. One looked tarp sized. The first one that I

After running errands all morning, I checked the weather and decided an afternoon siesta and then a trip to the pond would be a good way to spend the rest of my Saturday. I'm glad I waited as we began to get some intermittent cloud cover and
