Let’s talk about some half-truths, some fishing myths and some surprises, if you will, that I’ve experienced in the last year or two of crappie fishing. What ever you call it, things don’t always work out like we expect when we grab a bucket of minnows or a bag of jigs and head to our favorite crappie hotspot. […]
Calling Panther is the lake, and March is the month to catch a bass of a lifetime. But to get that monster bass, you’ll have to fight for it. You’ll have to go where no one else goes and fish like most anglers don’t like to fish. […]
Have you ever missed a turn, decided to go around the block and found yourself in a part of town you didn’t know existed? Try that with a boat behind you, and everyone in the vehicle may find out how good you are at backing a trailer long distances. […]
