I ordinarily leave my “as big as they grow” comment to the last paragraph of this monthly column. However, this month I just can’t help myself. I’ve got to tell you about two of the very best days I’ve ever had catching ‘em as big as they grow. […]
The New Year is right around the corner, and with ’10 upon us, I find myself experimenting with my crappie fishing, trying some things new to me. […]
The crappie fishing season — at least the crappie tournament fishing season — is in full swing. The last few years have brought more and more interest in fall crappie fishing. The tournament circuits have recognized this, and the two national circuits — Crappiemasters and Crappie USA — have moved their National Championship tourneys to the fall. […]
October has become my favorite month of the year. Readers of this monthly column know that I prefer to fish in the fall, and for me, October is when the crappie action starts getting good. […]
I would never say that I have the best equipment or the only equipment that catches crappie. I do, however, have some things that I know work and give me dependable service. […]
It’s summertime, folks, and the fish are biting. It’s prime time for hot-weather crappie fishing on North Mississippi’s big reservoirs. Great reports are coming to me from Sardis and Enid especially this summer. […]
Do you know the difference between a white crappie and a black crappie? Lots of folks don’t. During the spawn, the male white crappie turns black, and is often confused with his double-first cousin, the black crappie. […]
It’s funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same. I pride myself on trying new fishing techniques, new lures, new poles, new line, etc. I’ll often be one of the first to buy the latest, greatest thing. […]
Crappie fishing in Mississippi is alive and well, and often we fish with a buddy, a fishing partner. I enjoy a day on the lake when I share it with a fishing buddy more than I enjoy fishing by myself. Don’t you? […]
“Y’all having fun, yet?”
The question, hollered at no one in particular, was a short, cynical editorial designed to relieve the tournament fisherman’s frustration on a day when the crappie were not cooperating. The non-response he got spoke volumes from his tournament competitors who were in earshot and not catching fish. […]
Hey, friend, it’s that time of the year again. That’s right. If there is such thing as a fishing season here in Mississippi, consider this to be the opening weekend, and you don’t want to miss it, do you? […]
Some of my favorite memories are about the people who became good friends and with whom I shared a passion for crappie fishing. I want to tell you a few “short stories” this month about three of my fishing buddies. All three are deceased — have been for a few years now — so you’ll just have to take my word that most of the following is true. […]
