Christmas means many things to many people. But after the holidays are over, it means there’s a pile of fish attractors somewhere waiting to be gathered up by ambitious anglers and “replanted” in a favorite fishing hole. […]
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. […]
Few lakes in the state stir the hearts of crappie fishermen like Eagle. An old oxbow, now locked out from the constant fluctuations of Muddy Bayou and the Yazoo River beyond, Eagle Lake is co-managed by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks and the Eagle Lake Management Board.

You’ve seen the videos on the internet and even on the national news — silver projectiles weighing 10 to 20 pounds erupting from the water and occasionally landing in boats. […]
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.

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. […]
Late summer is when anglers begin seeing schools of shad. The schools are generally most apparent in the evening when the water is calm and the shad tend to swim at the surface. With all this forage, how could bass growth rates not be off the charts? […]
