Power trolling is all about speeding and going fast to catch crappie; however, there are times when throttling back on the speed you have your lures moving will catch more crappie. When to throttle it back is based on water temperature and the migration of crappie back towards spawning areas. Mississippi crappie angler Les Smith renowned for power trolling is also

A little late getting this out…. Took a gentlemen out wanting to experience rigging… Got started mid morning on Friday…. That wind had a bite to it… Pretty chilly for most of the day…. Had to fish back up a feeder creek to get out of the

Returned to my new found crappie hole this morning at Purdy.
It really is a gem in the area. When the concrete and stress wears me down through the week all it takes is a walk in the woods and a line in the water for all my troubles to

So I went on an early morning trip that led up into the day with good results. We had to get the coller and depth figured out then it came together. Love it when a plan comes together.
Well, here goes = Crappie, Croppie, Sac-a-lait, Socket eye, Chinkapin, White perch...and...oh, what was that one name?...man, it's been a while...oh yeah, that's it!! =
Hope it's slow here because folks are busy out fishing. The bite has turned on around Charlottesville so would think the Richmond bite is well underway too. Went out twice this week - couldn't pass up a 83 degree day in February - and found

Mother Nature enabling me to fish with absolutely stunningly PERFECT conditions. Although, I am saddened by the devastatingly brutal conditions being experienced up North. There's always a "perspective" in our lives to help strengthen

Got Sweetie out for the first time casting to schools. The wind was brutal and greatly effected accuracy. With a little coaching she was stocking up the Livewell. On one school she would hand me her rod and fish to remove and she would take

Enjoyed a beautiful sunset and fishing trip this evening. Flood waters are dropping fast and water is still pretty muddy. Fish are chasing baits a little better as water temps are getting into the low 50's. Wind laid the last few hours and

Got with Lene and Theresa for a little rigging action. Had a good afternoon although in between bites was sometimes a little long. Might have been slower as Lene got these hard to see and slimy minners vs. medium shiners but who noticed not

Sprinkled a little today . Winds were low but had to weed out lots of small fish before flipping a jig on them . Water still high , falling and muddy . Bigger fish were nearly on surface to 20' and everything in between . Flipped same Takeum

Took a much needed fishing trip today and did some dock shooting my favorite way to crappie catch. The wind was strong but I was able to still come away with a nice stringer for the frying pan. Todays bait of choice was a Bobby Garland itty

Dr Phillip and i did a very rare thing and that is fish on a Saturday afternoon. Thankfully a lot of anglers had already called it a day. We fished from 3:30 until 5:45 pm.
We started off shallow fishing like we have done the
