A few weeks ago, while returning home from a weekend trip, I approached a four-way flashing yellow light. While stopped, another car, being driven by a young guy, appearing to be in his mid-teens, pulled up to my left, on an intersecting side street.
When it comes to fishing for crappie in our area there are multiple ways to fish for them.
Last week I was awakened from a nap by the “ping” from my phone. I rolled over to see what earth shattering text message was coming through.
Over the past few years I have fished more and more swim baits for both largemouth and stripers.
One of the questions serious bowlers are asked by recreational ones is, “How do you do that?”, referring to making a bowling ball hook, or curve, as some refer to the movement of the ball in an arcing pattern from close to the gutter, back to the strike pocket.

When we fish for stripers here in our area we use a lot of stretch style baits and drag them behind the boat.
Most people search for instant gratification in nearly everything they do.
This time of year there are a lot of anglers who are done fishing till spring.
Last week, I shared information on the rare league bowler who escapes his weekly league session with the employment of a single bowling ball. As promised, this week, I’ll share a little as to why most bowlers now enter the bowling area with an arsenal of special bowling spheres.

When it comes to fishing for winter largemouth here in the Albemarle region we can fish using many different lures but one of the most consistent is the jig.
