The “Get Together” at Lake Blackshear was a wonderful event. With around 50 in attendance, a great time seemed to have been had by all.

I woke up early this cold day to fish with Up2Specks and Catch Fillet. But not only were we going to have three people in the boat, we were going to have two dogs in the boat too. This was going to be a crazy day, I could just tell.

But this time I was running my own boat, selecting my own fishing spots, and having ...

Professional crappie angler and Bobby Garland Crappie Baits pro staffer Jeff Schwieterman welcomes the change of season. “During the prespawn period crappie fishing, I look for ...

We watch the weather from back home and my mom never wants to go back. She finally got to taste some "real" fresh Crappie. I don't often keep crappie as most in my family don't like to eat what I cook. They say they don't like fish, but I think it's more my cooking they don't like.
