Made a quick trip down to Talquin over the weekend. Arrived about midnight Friday night. Fished all day Saturday and Sunday. Bite was slow for most it seemed. We caught 36 total and kept 23 whoppers to eat. That place sure has the Slabs! Best

Its been awhile, we are just getting back into chasing those SACS after a long hunting season.... We launched at Hwy 90 and made the run to Bayou Chevreuil, I figured i saved about 25 mins going by boat than by land... what a boat show!!!!

Finally, was able to put together a trip with a old work friend "Phil" that hasn't been in the boat since 2014 (he opts to golf most weekends). Took him to the best bite I know going & Jesup didn't disappoint. Caught plenty

......... to my old boat. After removing all the old beat up and scratched decals the ol’ gal looked a little naked. So I decided to have a little fun. I got with our fellow member “Redge” and had him make up some new ones. From now on there

Every so often I run across an innovative and revolutionary product gets my total attention. I was introduced
to the Lure Lock Tacklebox at ICAST; it won Best in Show Award for Tackle Management Systems. It’s a
proprietary ELASTAKTM GEL in the bottom of the tackle box that securely holds your lures in place. You can
place your sinkers, hooks, lures, or soft plastics in place in the same compartment no matter how

Do you think that technology will soon hurt the sport of crappie fishing with more people catching more from the technology of electronics to find and catch crappie?
I started my crappie career in the 60s with a cane pole and big red and white bobber with a shiner minnow under it. The electronics we have now weren't even thought of when I fished bass tournaments in the 70s.
I posed this exact question to Darrell Van Vactor of Crappie USA but as it pertained to tournaments and the possibility of new platforms like Live Scope being disallowed.
I know I'm a better fisherman because of SI/DI. I also know the crappie adjust to pressure, regardless of where it comes from. One huge thing IMO is we now fish for crappie almost year round in probably 1/2 of the country.

It started sleeting fri afternoon and when we got ready to leave sat morning my truck was covered with ice. It was 29 degrees with a 10-12 mph N wind blowing and we figured we were probably the only fools to get out in weather like this but

Juicy and I caught a small mess of fish today. Started fishing about 10 A.M. We fished in 18-25 FOW fishing 12-14 FD. Wind was 12-15 MPH but at Black Lake the wind is not an issue. We used Bobby Garland Sassy Shad in Blue Grass color with a

I went 45 minutes west in the am and about the same east in the pm . Both lakes had a similar non bite program going on . I want to think the recent cold snap slowed them up and it always amazes me when I hit spots that far apart that have

What a day, when the morning starts out with 12 deer having breakfast in the neighborhood cornfield, you know it is going to be a good day.

An easy Monday at work led to an afternoon trip to the creek bank. While walking down

Yay, his first time on the boat, and his first ever crappie. Great way to break them in right.
We were only out there for maybe 15 minutes. Daughter seen two skeeters, so we weren't gonna stay much longer at all. I really hoped for a fish QUICK, and low and

As you know I’m new to crappie.com. I wanted to take a moment and share that we had a great day at Lake Wedowee yesterday. Weather conditions were cold and windy, but that didn’t stop us. Long line trolling paid off. We found fish in 10-16ft

I’ve been a very good boy lately; performing automobile repairs, fixing broken things around the house, and keeping the lawn looking sharp. However, the whole time I was being “responsible”, I had an over-whelming urge to validate my position

40 and I started out in the shallows searching for some early scouts. Didn't catch anything shallow. 40 did hang a good female (probably 1.75) He got her to the top of the water and led her over to me where I swiftly knocked her off the hook
