Topwater popper on a shaded laydown….bloooop! Bloooop!

Haven’t done a lot of crappie fishing before (so much fishing to do, so little time), but I feel like this is a fair size slab. I may just have to target these next time!

Got a little action on the red craw patterned Frittside 5 this week. Healthy fish that looked to be bulking up a little already…

Wanted to close out the year with a big Tuckasegee smallmouth, but my guy here had other plans! Happy New Year, y’all!

Life is good…I made a compilation of my favorite catches of the year. It’s been a tough year off the water, and fishing has provided me with a tremendous source of escape and joy. This community has made me infinitely better at catching all of my target species, and I’m so grateful for it. I can’t wait to keep it rolling in 2026!! Merry Xmas and happy New Year…God is so good!!!

Great week in The Smokies!

Fathers Day fushes! Black and blue jig in bank bushes!

Swim jig in bank grass(lilypads)—This stuff really works!

Been too busy to make posts, but never too busy to fish…here’a few pics to catch y’all up on what I’ve been up to. Life is beautiful!

Respectable and fun day on the reservoir last week. Beat up the banks with a 7” speed worm and had a blast!
