I got a couple of Halloween wigs from Wal Mart and since they didn't fit, I decided to tie jigs with them LOL There's not much action in the water, but for slow trolling or spider rigging it should do fine.

I recently made a trip to Enid Lake, in northwest MS, with a fishing buddy SteveJ. We took my camper and boat and stayed 4 nights. C.com had a "fall camp" there on Sept. 11th. This is where the world record white crappie was caught in 1957, 5 lbs 3 oz.. We didn't catch anything like that but we...

I've been tying so much lately, I had to figure out a way to get rid of some so I could tie some more. JUNGLEJIM1 gave me an idea about making a deal with a local bait shop. I printed out some packaging on the computer and packaged up 40 packs of 4. I went to the neighborhood bait store and he...

I was told about using the saltwater hackle instead of regular neck hackle because the feathers are so much wider. I ordered some and really like it. Now I use one feather per jig where I was using two or three. I cut about two inches of the tip off then cut the vien of the feather every 1/4...

It was a little cooler, or should I say, not as hot this morning so we pulled some crankbaits. We came home with 29 keepers, enough to fill up my ironing board cleaning table.

A few I've tied in the past day or so.

Mon. morning after we got through fishing, I stopped by the office of Twitley Branch Campground at Okatibbee Res. to talk to a buddy, Randal, who works there. He told me a story I wanted to share. He said that on Sat. morning, two couples were drinking coffee outside their campers and were...

Well we didn't fill up the ol' ironing board today, but we did pretty good. We came home with 17 crappie, 2 cat, and 1 bass.

I went to Wal Mart and got some "Sterilite" brand name boxes with lids. Then I cut a swimming noodle lengthwise and glued the pieces in the boxes. Now I can sitck my jigs in there and they're not getting tangled up in my tackle box, plus the feathers stay straight.

Who says it's bad luck on Fri. 13th? We trolled crankbaits this morning on my home lake for about 3 hrs and came home with 18 keepers.

Or what? Here's what I've been doing the past couple of days. I just can't stop!

Steve, Wayne and I filled up Mama's ironing board again this morning. We trolled from daylight till around 9 and we and the trolling motor batteries gave out at about the same time. The water temp was 90.8 and the air temp was a lot worse. Came home with 20 crappie and 1 channel cat.

I just had to show off my newest creation. A palmered electric chicken. I'm hooked on the saddle hackle now.

Steve, Wayne and I pulled cranks for about 4 hrs. this morning. It was a little slower bite today and we caught a bunch of "dinks". We wound up with 25 keepers and had a great time. My mug with a couple of the better ones. And the best pic of all.

It works better than neck hackle for palmering just like everyone told me. I had these 3 tied up about 10 min. after the mail ran. LOL

I'm still practicing on the palmered jigs. Thanks to the help of some of you, I think it's coming together. I've still got to get some saddle hackle but I did these with neck hackle.

I haven't posted any jig pics in a while, but I was tying up some today and thought this one looked neat. 1/8 oz fish head from RonDon that I nail polished. Black zonker and natural cross-cut.

I pulled crankbaits with a couple of buddies, Steve and Wayne, this morning for 4 hrs.. Came home with 31 crappie, 2 of them black crappie. By the time I cleaned fish, put up the boat, and hauled guts off, I was give out. Can't wait for a little cooler weather.

Hey AtticaFish, what's the flavor for July? I enjoy seeing everyone's skills.

We trolled crankbaits this morning at Okatibbee Reservoir for 3 hrs.. Came home with 26 crappie and 1 channel cat. The chartreuse Bandit was the one they wanted today. Largest crappie weighed 1 lb 8 oz. My crappie catchin' machine.
