Last night my fishing buddy and I returned to the spot where we caught all those crappies a few days ago. This time the action was slower, but we did catch some larger crappies. Most were 9" - 10" but we did get a few around 12". We were both using sparkly black. Most of the night was calm, but...

I like the look of 3D eyes, but getting them to stay on is a pain. Epoxy lasts a long time, but I really dislike working with it. Clear nail polish is easier, but doesn't last very long. I have been sticking the eyes on with superglue gel, but the glue seems to stick the eye to my fingers...

So I figured I'd take a pic of my setup. I live in an apartment, so I pour on a table I set up on my deck when the weather is nice. Hemos are for pulling the jigs out of the cavities. I also use them to return the sprues to the pot. The coffee can is where I store the scrap lead and ingots to...

Last week my fishing buddy got a tip from one of the camp hosts at our local reservoir. He said the crappies were showing up at a campground that's normally only good in the spring. The water is only 6'-10' deep, with no dropoffs or natural structure. I've heard people place brush piles, but...

It's the one with the barbed collar, but you could fill the collar cavities with silicone if you want a ball head. Free shipping for Prime members, or if you order $35 worth of stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Do-It-Molds-Tapered-Cavities-16-Ounce/dp/B002QG2G76 Edit: The price was $21.25 when I...

Went by my local Dick's today and picked up some South Bend Kastmaster knock-offs 3 for $2, and two 150 yard spools of Nanofil for $9. Not sure if this is at all their stores, but the prices were good enough one might want to take a look.

Don't you just hate it when you lose an anchor? Well, imagine how these guys felt. Mishap starts around 4:20. [video=youtube] My dad was in the US Navy during 'Nam. He said if you ever saw the yellow chain come out of the locker at full speed when dropping anchor you'd better take cover quick!

I recently found out there's a 20 acre filled gravel pit near where I live that has largemouth and bluegill. I heard it's one of the few local ponds don't get choked with weeds during the summer so I went down to check it out for a few minutes today. The water is super clear. I was able to see...

I wanted to experiment with hand-tied curly tails, so I picked up some Wapsi Fly Tails. They come in small and medium size. These are smalls on a size 4 1/16th ounce jig. I've only had a chance to use the black one once, but it did pick up some small largemouth and some nice bull gills at one...

Works on big smallies too! This is my biggest one yet at 17.5". Didn't get a chance to weigh him, but the length charts I've seen estimate around 3.3 pounds. Caught this one at night at a local park. My phone's battery was almost dead and I couldn't use the flash, but luckily the bathroom was...

Not my video, but I thought it was pretty funny. How many fish do you think look at your bait or jig but either don't commit or miss and never come back? Watch and see. [video=youtube] Reminds me of an underwater video I saw once but could never find again. Guy was ice fishing and had a bare...

It's Do-It model LBS-6-A: I want to try some experiments with this style jig, but I don't want to go to the expense of buying the mold if my idea doesn't work out. So I want to get about a dozen unpainted heads in the 3/8ths, 1/2 and 5/8th size with the stinger eye. I'd prefer plated hooks...

My local crappie lake is on the downswing of a boom/bust cycle. There was a big year class in 2006. As you probably know, crappies are cannibalistic and will eat their own young so large year classes depress the survival of young from successive year classes. Right now there are a few huge...

Got my order from Rosey's and thought I'd do some trading. Here are the colors I have: 007 Silver: Approximately the color of brushed aluminum without the texture. No longer offered. Makes great minnow patterns. Asteroid Sparkle Black...

They're doing 25% off imitation chrome, candy and fluorescent colors, 50% off on everything else. Order quick before your colors run out. Really wanted some gold vein, but it's already sold out. :-/ http://www.roseyspowdercoating.com/

Smashed my personal best crappie Sunday afternoon with this 16.5" black slabasaurus. Tipped the scale at 2 pounds, 11 ounces. The area I was fishing also has a lot of 12-15" smallmouth, so I thought it was a bass until I saw the flash of white as big as a dinner plate. The jig that fooled...

Been having a lot of luck fishing the rocky banks of the Snake River in Idaho for smallmouth with these black jigs. Put them under a bobber, cast along the bank, reel in slowly and hang on. When it's still daylight out, these do the trick. Top jig is what they look like after being tied...

I picked up a Penn Sport no-roll sinker mold on eBay. I've had my eye out for this mold for awhile, and I just happened to stumble across it misidentified as a jig mold. It's the kind with the molded ring on the end, which I prefer over the through design Do-It uses. It has all the common sizes...

Cabela's has them on spring sale. If you don't have the pony or horsehead mold, this is probably the best price you're going to see. No collar with Colorado blade...
