I was really needing a fishing fix when CUonthelake texted me last night with a request to panfish in the afternoon today. She only had 2 hours to fish before needing to go catch a conference call. But a productive 2 hours of Bluegill fishing

I love to take new people who want to know how to improve their fish catching. We didn’t have the best of days catching wise, but it was a teaching day of looking at various structures and how to fish them.
Dr Phillip Gawthrop’s three grandsons and their Daddy, Adam, wanted a trip for bluegills and I was delighted to take them. Although TVA was spilling water over the flood gates, we managed to get behind the retaining wall that they have built

My daughter and son in law came down this morning and had breakfast with us and after a little shopping trip to the grocery store, suddenly I had a crappie itch, so I asked Wanda if she would take me to a ramp near our home and launch me for

Candi and I fished a different part of Chickamauga Lake this morning and although we caught a lot of fish, the vast majority of those were in the 9.5-10.5” range. We only landed 3 fish over 11”. The biggest by Candi on our very last stop was

Dr Phil and I tried something different this AM. We went to Guntersville lake, Nickajack tailwaters and caught two of everything except Bluegill. Grin. Two skipjacks (I had another one break 4 lb test line), two largemouth bass (15”), two

There we wuz! Fat Albert’s favorite saying, in a fog this morning before daylight. We had to idle for a while in order to safely arrive at our first spot. I turned the Mercury 60 4 stroke off and deployed the new Terrova and started moving

I don't know how a teacher could be more proud of their number one student that I was this morning with Candi. I have said on multiple occasions that she is the best crappie student that I have ever had the honor of teaching how to crappie

Gary aka Biofisher, went fishing with me this morning. We had our 8 keepers by 8 am and after that it was nothing but short fish along with a couple of spotted bass and one small Largemouth.
I was greatly honored to take the man who taught me how to fish this morning on beautiful Chickamauga lake. I have fished with many good fishermen in my lifetime, but Larry McCuiston is still the best angler that I have ever been a boat with.

Dr Phil and I had a very good morning fishing for crappie. We landed 24 keepers and a few shorts. Bonus fish were a couple of Spotted bass. The bite was hot just after daylight and we had a pretty good bite until we stopped fishing just after

My wife Wanda went fishing with me today on the second voyage in the new Tracker. We had another hour or so of break in on the new motor, but we did fish several of the off shore spots that I needed to mark on the new Lowrance Elite 7.

What better way to spend a hot afternoon than fishing with the family and kids in a private pond that is loaded with big bluegills and bass. That is exactly what Wanda and I did yesterday afternoon with my brother in law, Leon and Wanda's sister,

Wanda wanted to hit the Shellcracker beds before they quit biting. As usual, she should have been with me yesterday. Oh, we caught a few, and were determined not to keep any under 9" long, so our meager catch today was 4 crackers. These

Candi and I hit the water sometime after noon and our targeted species was Bluegills. We had a very good short fishing spree. We would have stayed longer, but the TVA is working on the new lock at Chickamauga dam and they ran us off in order

I took my good friend and lawn mower repairman, Hippy Dave Ohms out this morning for some crappie fishing. Of course he was using his favorite lure, a Bass Assassin Pro Tiny 2" Limetreuse Glow plastic jig on a 1/16 oz jig head. I was a
