Well, woke up to Crows trying to eat my pecans out of the trees. After I ran them off I picked a gallon of pecans out of the trees, set up the Scarecrow, and went Crappie fishing.
I had to take a break from the construction work so the muscadine juice made it into the crosshairs yesterday. I use Sure-Jel original for all my jellies, never had a set problem. Biggest thing is when your juice comes to boil it must be boiling

My bride has a post implant with a protective cap in her jaw and can only chew on one side till they finish the tooth replacement. She is getting very bored with her meals, not much I can do. I don't know

Went to the Rez for 3 days of Crappie fishing and to fish the Varivas Double Cross PE in 10# test casting. The Crappie just didn't want a moving, retrieved, grub. I vertical jig fished very productive structure but with little success. When

I was searching for a Next Level Performance Braid fishing line for casting 1/32 jigs. With todays solar heated waters a slower sinking jig looks more attractive, sinks slower for more time in the strike zone (great for fishing shallower water),

Seems timing the boat traffic to check the tree tops is working. With so much work still going on recovering from the tornado I can't get out much to fish. The water color was good on both trips, natural colors still dominated. All fish caught

I hit the Jourdan River today to see numerous other Crappie Anglers pounding the banks. As I moved around most were fishing shiners 2ft under a cork. Since I was catching fish I didn't fish where others could see what I was doing.

With Hog Fest around the corner I'm in the kitchen creating new recipe Pork Tamales (can't show at this time, it is a competition after all). Since all the equipment is getting used I ground up a extra 25 pounds of pork shoulder for sausage.

Well a slow start is the understatement of the day. 46 degree tidal surface water temps relocates the crappie. We continued to move to warmer waters till Jackpot, Bon Temps pulls up the first Crappie and its a keeper. Today was a very good

We went up to The Rez for a couple of days of Crappie fishing Tuesday & Wednesday. Tuesday morning I left the Campground with just a little bit of fog more like a little smoke on the water. By the time I made it to the channel you could
