I don’t know what mayflies taste like, but I’m thinking it’s like M&M’s and crappie just love to eat them. In fact at times crappie anglers will often change to mayfly shaped soft plastic lures or hair jigs to catch them when the mayflies are hatching. Typically the mayfly will hatch not in May, but in June and July creating a unique opportunity for anglers to fish mayfly patterns when crappie

No one impacted so many anglers and youth than the late Brian Sowers. His catch phrase, “Give a kid a tackle box, not an Xbox” wasn’t just words as Sowers always found time to share his love of fishing to youth, anglers and everyone he met. While Sowers is no longer with us his legacy continues with the Brian Sowers Legacy Crappie Tournament and Scholarship Dinner.
Got back in town yesterday afternoon from a business trip this week, so I spend my Juneteenth (observed) holiday pulling cranks on The Rez with my son. I was playing around with Bandit 300s, Arkie 350s, and Pico INTs this time and have a little

Decided to get the boat wet today and avoid the pleasure boats at a no wake lake near me. I have a love, hate relationship with this lake as there are days I love it and it can produce, but many many more it won't. Long lined 1/8oz jigs and

My 6 year old granddaughter, Isla, is up from Georgia with her family and one of the things on her list of things she wanted to do was go fishing with Grampy and Mr. Jeff. The weather for Tuesday looked promising, 73, sunny and 6mph winds.

We returned for a week of camping in MS yesterday evening and decided to try and catch some of the elusive sacalait on Bayou Lacombe. Didn't launch till 9 am and the water temp was 87 F. Side scanned and found a few. Ended up with 10 in

I waited for the rain to push through this morning and then loaded up and headed out on a mission to bring home about 6 decent bluegill for another try at frying them up whole rather than filleting them off. Drove through some heavy mist on

Plus a pair of PB’s. A great morning trip before the heat ran me off. I warn you ahead of time this might be picture heavy. This was one of the best short trips ever. Started slow as I put in early and they hadn’t woke up yet. This little feller

Didn’t sleep much after falling out in my chair at about 7 last night. Got up and tied some jigs, made coffee and shared a muffin with Piper and turned on the news and found that they’re expecting temps near 100* today. Nope, I’m not waiting

I got back from Ross Barnett Rez about 1.5 hours ago pulling crankbaits for the first time ever, and I was surprised that it went as well as it did for a beginner. My only regret was not taking my son (not well enough from an illness), so
