    Deep Diving Inline Spinner

    Our bigger fish (hybrid, white, striped, largemouth) bass are at 20-40 feet the hybrid & striped on occasion to 60. This drops 2ft/sec. so you can do your counts. Add more wire length for toothier fish or heavier sinker for more depth, bigger willow if you want more flash. First cast with the...

    Flasher Knocker Trolling Rig - How To Make

    If you make one of these, use an appropriate leader especially for toothy fish. I used 6 feet wire or cable (usually wire - worked better for me) to this lure. EZ to make - good luck with getting a big one! https://youtu.be/JyWyuVrRCUE

    Anyone Using A Tractor To Dunk?

    When we first lived in Hernando Beach (early 60's) the boat ramp was next to the house and we had a Ford 8N with a ball on the front - sure made it handy. By 1970 they'd bulldozed the ramp and sold the lot - the current public ramp was too far away so that ended. A few tractors of the past...

    Friends Don't Let Friends Eat Sausage Casings

    I'll admit I was pretty clueless on this until my brother in law educated me on this stuff (whatever it is). I would unwrap sometimes - sometimes not. Since looking into his claims, I'm fanatical about it now - I de-skin all commercial stuff (natural casings are rarer and rarer). The local...

    https://youtu.be/rRoyYnkf8V4 Hope you are enjoying the CD life! We sure love it here in Alabama, the lake (800+ miles shoreline + Chattahoochee River system) is plenty big, but the downside is the creek here has a bridge even a CDory can't get under. Oh well. I sure had my share of...

    The Hog Story

    A simple story from long ago, and far away. At that time I had intended to develop a recipe if the occasion of getting a wild hog happened, but as things went - never did get that far - and no, I never went back. Fishing is the life for me. https://youtu.be/hNt81cS--Pk

    Corned Beef has been around over 3000 years, time for a different approach: Slit your corned beef through, insert: red hot (I used a big mama in the vid), beef sausage, any kind of sausage, pepperoni - even a potato can be used. No added spices needed with a spicy sausage (red hot, etc) - put...
