I was raised crappie fishing; we did it for table fare. It was a way of life for us during those years. Back then my goal for the day was to catch as many as I could, size didn’t matter; we ate them small, medium and large. All they had to have was have “scales and tails”. If they bit our hook we took them for a ride, their next swim for them would be in Crisco. ...

Dr Phillip Gawthrop and I only had 3 hours to fish this morning because of other appointments and it was windier than heck. NE winds that at one point were slightly whitecapping the lake in the off shore place that we were fishing. We fished ...

This is totally different. You know, having to drive and launch, and all. And then the bouncing on the water in those 20 mpg winds. All that wreaked havoc on this old mans back. Have to take it easy the next few days.

Here are some of the pics I took.

My brother-in-law & I gave it all we had for a week fighting the wind most of the time. We fished Crescent (1) day, Woodruff (1 1/2 day), Monroe (1/2) day, & Harney (3 1/2) days. Didn't kill them any 1 day, but managed a few good'uns ...
