The June Full Moon this year is fast approaching, and with the crazy Spring we are having, it is shaping up to be as good as the May Full Moon was in my neck of the woods. Snow....yes Snow was on the Mountain tops in May, and since Gills do

I made another 3 hour trip to the river today and fished from 9:40am until 12:40pm. Pushed minnows 3-5 ft in 8-16 FOW. Kept 25 good fish and tossed a few; also caught a couple of decent Green Carp(AKA Bass). I need to get in touch with

Hit Nickajack early this a.m. Once again I was a few days late. There had been another spawn but it was probably full on Saturday. I bed picked today and in 5.5 hours of fishing had around 180 fish......60 quality fish.....shell cracker from

My Grandma didn't teach me to fish or help me catch my first fish. I owe that to my Dad. She did take me fishing a lot of times. We never went far or to a hard to reach spot, but we always had an adventure. We would fish off the bank at

Went to the electric-only lake today after the rain storms passed, and found some shellcracker beds in 8-11 FOW. I threw 3 different colors of Trout Magnet, and a bunch of my hand-ties, with nibbles and power wiggler bits and such - no dice.

I took my son Jacob out to try his Christmas present in a local lake. I wanted him to get the hang of things before we hit up some local creeks after they recede a bit. After I was comfortable with his abilities to maneuver and control his

They're still biting!
Fantastic day on the water. Had two limits under 3 hours. Burned through 5 dozen minnows on dinks and tiny large mouth. Wind was mild, temp was perfect, sunshine felt great! 25FOW bite around 6-12ft in the

Just wanted to share a special part of my family with the CDC family. Today is my future fishing buddy’s first birthday , my grandson CAMERON MICHAEL BLACK. Hopefully in a couple years from now I can post some pictures of us catching crappie

Fished another weekend but the heat got the best of me. Aint it funny (sorta) how something that used to be fun enough to keep me on the water ALL DAY long now has me running for cover when the temps gets into the 80's and climbing!! A lot

Set out to log in some more Withlacoochee apprenticeship hours today but as the morning progressed, unexpected, menacing clouds were making their way from the SW. Not bringing any raingear, I decided to carry on with business anyway. After

Swish!! My Withlacoochee River search-time efforts have finally yielded the species that prove, at least this time of year, ghostly. With water temps consistently 80-83 degrees the sweet smell of achievement has now availed itself.

Went out yesterday again in a storm of boaters who may or may not be safe and responsible. Water was churned into a froth, weird waves coming from all directions. I am still intent on catching and releasing 1000 crappie this year.

Today I got to have the pleasure of having Skeetbum on my boat. He had once mentioned that he would like to see what I do when I go after sunshine bass. So this morning we were able to get together and hit the river.
Catching crappie during the spawn was simple. Find the cover and you would find the crappie. Really no sonar unit needed, however, more and more anglers are using Garmin LiveScope to assist with locating and catching crappie.
Now the majority of crappie have moved to offshore habitat like brush piles, standing timber, man made structure or boat docks.

...heres the skinny on my weekend of fishing.
Saturday I hit the lake @ 7AM and fished until 11AM. I caught a total of 70 crappie but in the last hour of fishing I only caught 5 with only a couple big enough to keep. Total I kept was
