After catching 30+ crappie less than 8 inches in about an hour or so I began to think maybe I need to quit catching and releasing all the time. Its frustrating when a small lake gets over populated and the fish become stunted. Its hard to complain about catching a fish on nearly every cast but...

1/32 #6 Olive/Ginger Chenille with black round rubber tail and turkey wing feathers. Head color is what you get when you paint a lead head with yellow sharpy and clearcoat. :) This is Very similar to what I'm tying for swap. Crappie and gills both were killin it tonight.

Tied this up on a heavier weight #4 hook. It was suppose to have two sets of wings but I got ahead of myself and forgot to tie other set in. Wings and tail are turkey. Eyes are from plastic bead chain. Made the tail by tying in a peice of light wire to hook and wrapped with black chenille. Added...

Decided to try to tie up some buggy looking jigs before bed tonight just to get the ideas out of my head. I like what i came up with but they can certainly be cleaner looking. Tired Eyes Can Lead To Ugly Ties! :D This one is the same pattern I've been catching gills on but on a jig head. I...

I need some help. Every time I have tried to sit down and order some Powder I have either gotten distracted or indecisive and never got it done. I guess the main thing I'm indecisive about is amount to buy. I know a lot of y'all buy it by the pound and That is prolly the best bang for your buck...

All in all today was a pretty great day. I was catching fish when the sun came up and I was catching fish when it went down. In the time in between I enjoyed a very nice church service and lunch with the family then stopped by the farm for a minute and found a small patch of morels. The winged...

This is kind of a random bluegill jig. It needs to be tied on a smaller gold hook but #4 red is all I got right now. Then again most of the gills I've been catching have been on #4. The body is twisted marabou and wings are from a turkey wing feather.

I made the wings for these with pieces of turkey wing feathers. I coated the feather with top coat to stiffen it up and keep it from getting chewed up so easily. I then trimmed them into shape. If it quits raining I'm going to see what the bluegill think of them tonight Without the rubber...

Ya gotta love garage sales, especially when its one of your cool neighbors thats having it. This morning I noticed that the guy across the street was having a sale so I went over to just see what he had. Didn't plan on buying anything but he was in a "Everything must go" kinda mood and willing...

With me having a 7 month old son I am beginning to collect a surplus of Baby food jars. They are mostly 4oz gerber jars but I also have some 2oz jars as well. I haven't done a count on them but I have several. Prolly 40 0r 50+ I was wondering if anyone was in need of any and who might be...

Still Caught Crappie! :D Had about an hour to sneak of to the pond tonight. It was raining off and on so I decided to leave the jig bag at home and just fish for some bass so I just grabbed my pole and a little shallow running jerk bait. Ended up catching more crappie than bass. Got four...

All week long it has been either raining cats and dogs or really windy. It finally cleared up today so I went to the city pond for an afternoon of fishing. Long story short I tried to work my magic but all I pulled from my fishin hat was a skunk. A lot of what I know about fishing has come from...

Your Rooster looks like this :P

I've recently had people asking me if I can make small inlines for trout/crappie/bluegill. I want to start telling them yes so I'm going to order me some supplies and learn how to make them. I have some questions that I'm sure y'all can help me with. I guess the main thing I'm unsure of is what...

My Dad and I got to fish one of my favorite lil ponds on my cousins farm yesterday. It ain't no bigger than a minute but its got some big fish in it. Crappie fishing is not as good as it used to be cause he has been catching and transferring them to his big lake over the last couple seasons. we...

I haven't done any trout fishing in several years but I am hoping to change that this year. Curious to know... what are some of y'alls favorite jig patterns and jig sizes for small stream/river rainbows and browns.

We had a really good time in Arkansas at Bull Shoals but the Strong winds and water temps that were still mostly in the mid 40's made for some tough fishing. We bombed out on crappie but yesterday evening, right before dark my best friend and I managed to get into a few white bass. I caught five...

I was bored today so I made something random. It is pretty roughly made and I can already see some things to change if I make another. I didn't have any spinner wire so I just used some other wire I had. I need to test it to see how it swims and see if blade spins good. I'm not sure if having...

I got a couple of jigs boxed up for my trip to Bull Shoals this weekend. Hopefully at least one of them will be just what them ol slabs are lookin for. :D

This is the pond I fish at our city park. I wish the size of the fish were bigger but it is five minutes from my house so I can't complain too much. It was a little windy and colder today. I didn't catch any crappie but the bass were Loving the wool and satin. None of them were too big but they...
