Still waiting on trout stocking at lake by the house but no go but fished anyway since I've been catching some crappie, gills and bass. I've been fishing this lake for over 60 years since I was a little guy and biggest I've caught has been

Yesterday was a beautiful day to be fishing. Yesterday I'm working on a boat in for a updated hydraulic Anchor and Jackplate repairs in the shop looking out the door dreaming of the Thump. Well about 2pm I was finished with all

Sometimes I hit spots just to see if I can ketch crappie in extremely adverse conditions .
In this scenario, the wind speed was sustaining itself at 15 to 25 mph with gusts up over 40 mph one day this week.

Got a little time to hit the lake this Sunday morning. They were a little finicky, but I was catching them on the old tried and true black and chartreuse tube jig dipped in Slab Sauce. Caught 7 over 1.5 lbs. they were still holding on some

I slipped out of work an hour early today to sneak in a trip before the rain arrives tomorrow. Most of the day was fairly calm but the breeze did begin to pick up about 2pm, an hour before I walked out the door. I was on the water, ready to

But haven’t found the crappie yet. Still looking. Boat went to the doc and back while I work on the other one.Some of the weather and conditions have been excellent and others have been in a stiff enough wind that made it tough. I caught enough

The weather this week looks less than desirable. Haven’t fished since Thursday so I was itching to go. Studying the weather last night I thought I might get in a few hours before it gets bad. Wasn’t raining when I started but the wind was bad.

High water on the St. John’s River has fish roaming the shallow lakes earlier than normal. Catching limits longlining 1/16 and 1/32 jig heads with various plastics. I usually don’t find fish like this till Thanksgiving.
What is long enough? Really what’s long enough when it comes to crappie fishing rod? B’n’M Poles has just released its new 18- and 20-foot Buck’s Graphite Jig Pole or BGJP series of poles and it’s stretching the length of a fishing pole 40 years ago to the longer two models.

Made it back to the pond today with my cooler hoping the fish would bite like they did yesterday. Was set up with lines in the water about 9, with cloudy skies but not too much wind, 51 degrees at the launch, water temp at 55.
Made a late run over to the East Pearl to try the Black Crappie once again. I went back in the back of English Bayou, lots of structure all over English. Had better luck today or just kept a jig in the water way too long. Black

I read Quinn's post this morning, knowing I was unable to fish today due to some scheduled events. Pretty good day for it, too. Shortly after 10am, got a call cancelling my late morning appointment and since I didn't have to leave the house
