Normally I’m an avid bass fisherman who occasionally masquerades as a walleye fisherman. But this past week I put my walleye and bass interests on the shelf for a week and went is search of Crappie. Usually in the fall the crappie bite is very good, but this year it didn’t seem to be that […]
For months we’ve been waiting for September to bring us darker skies and higher chances of visable solar activity. And as we anticipated September has been good so far. Last night we got our storm. It was a solar storm of epic proportions! During this year we’ve had several good displays of the aurora and […]
I love late summer fishing for bass. My favorite type of fresh water fishing is top water bass fishing. When the water is consistently above 70 degrees I know I can catch bass every night when the sun gets low. This year is no exception. I’ve had a few opportunities lately to get out in […]

Fishing is still going on strong for all species. Bass are just now starting to bite on top water lures. The whopper plopper was a big hit this week. Wacky rig senkos were very good as well as lawless lures for bass. Crappie are still biting on minnows, but more spread out and in a […]
Fishing for the second half of May was really hot. The water quickly warmed up due to the 80 degree air temperatures and our surface temps were in the low 60s and even mid 60s by the end of the month. The crappie bite was especially good in 4-8 feet of water off of rock […]
