"The only thing better than a live cricket is... a dead one... the only thing better than a dead one ... is a 'Fake' one..."
Wish I'd a said that, except I ain't too sure about the fake one. I've had one for years in my tackle box. Never ran out of…
Those are warmouth bream, which is how Mayo plans to get his record I bet. I'm bettin' on his sweetie beatin' him to the punch.

We do all need to be aware and your post of the link was appropriate I believe. I just need to express the political part elsewhere. I'm glad to learn of it and now it's up to me to decide where to go with the info. I have an appointment with a fav…
I just read what the link had to say. A lot sounded real political which is a no-no by our rules here. It is food for thought though. I believe we need to be aware of the constant pressure to limit our fishing freedoms and as individuals decide how…
Quills do seem to be harder to find than they used to be at bait shops. I found some at Bass Pro Shop of all places. They were a little expensive, like $5 for two or something. I'd rather have had them than the $5 though.
Your Lordship, you found '…
They don't teach us much of anything, except to pay attention! You have messed up His Lordships' name again. You left out a space before the comma. No wonder your cricket is pink. You don't look to good! Just kidding Greg. I think it's hard to offen…
annygoglin?????? Greg, be careful with His Lordship, It's Lord of the Fly RODS. I think Mayo is probably Lord of the FLIES. I say that 'cause he's a "stinkin' Auburn fan". Me and him is plannin' on hookin' up real soon down at Escambia where the big…
Hey Mayo. I wish you coulda seen the photo shoot too! Them crickets was everywhere. I didn't know which way to turn. It reminded me of last years Iron Bowl when Auburn was jumpin' all over Alabama. Up 2 touchdowns afore I knew what was happenin'. Th…
Your Lordship. I heard you were going to post more pics this season. How about a short video of the live cricket on a flyrod technique? At least some pics of the way it's rigged and some 'splainin' about line weight for the extra bulk and weight of…
Is that cricket PINK?????? Greg, the lengths you have gone to fashion a cricket for a flyrod. I must apologize. I should have told you you could use REAL crickets on a flyrod. # 10 hook, single "B" sinker, small float, rollcast. I've read Shooter's…
I flat out asked him once if he had a studio with everybody bringing in their fish for high dollar photograpy portraits. He swears no studio, he catches 'em all and takes the photos on the water. I'm pretty sure he's doing something suspicious. Like…
Looks like you hit the motherlode! That's something you don't see often.
doomaflothchy--doomaflotchy. Greg, you used two different spellings. The first one is a lot harder to say so it must be a highly technical scientific term. The second one from your description is a Killer Whale. Thingamajig must be the lure you said…
Is it an original by you? Or a bought popper us live cricket men never knew about?
doomaflothchy......who invented that? Zack must have fallen into the black hole of fly tying. Pity. There is no escape.
I'm confusededer than ever. Is it a popper?
Did that Grandgirl make you clean all them fish she caught? I bet she's got you wrapped around her hook.

Congrats on the 9" cracker Zack. Trophy too!
Now what is a gainespan pop. Sounds like a high dive I tried once in my youth. Once!

Bryan Roberts said… - Hi Boogieman,
This looks like a great site, and appreciate your kind comments. I love to fish for big bream and shellcracker. Wilson Lake on the Tennessee river produces some large 'crackers. I have a nice honeyhole which has produced crackers over 12".
I also like to fish the county lake system in the state of Alabama. We like to fish these clear lakes, which have quite a bit of pressure, with 2lb test line .
I prefer to fish the bottom with a small shot and # 8 tru turn hook. Use about 1.5" piece of night crawler, and hook it once through the middle, and let the ends wiggle.
God Bless you and great to hear from you.
Bryan

KEN BROCK THE FISH DENTIST said…
- ONE DAY AT MY HONEY HOLE WITH MY COUSIN, HE AND I WERE CATCHING EARS AND GILLS. I WAS ON TOP OF THINGS THAT DAY. HAVING A TIME OF MY LIFE. I SAID TO COUS. I FEEL LIKE A DENTIST WITH THESE NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS. WITH THAT COMMENT I CAPTURED THE NAME OF THE FISH DENTIST. SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT. I MAKE SURE I ALWAYS HAVE MY PLIERS IN THE BOAT, OR THE OFFICE MIGHT BE CLOSED THAT DAY. BY THE WAY GRANDPARENTS (FISH) OFFICE CALLS ARE FREE. BUT, THOSE DAMN KIDS I CHARGE DOUBLE! THEY MUST BE AT LEAST 9in. TALL.

- YOUR GOOGLE SITE HAS A LOT OF INFO. I'M PICTURING MY FAVORITE FISHING HOLE. COULD WE BE FISHING NEAR A SPRING WHEN WERE ON OUR HONEY HOLE? I READ AN ARTICLE STATING FISH CONGRETE NEAR SPRINGS. I GUESS A SPRING SOMETIMES IS AS HARD TO FIND AS F GILLS AND EARS.

I Pledge To Re-Read The Rules Every Now And Then
In fact, I’m going to go over them right now so I will have a clear understanding of what ya’ll should expect from me. I promise to abide by the rules, and enjoy it!
I pledge not to cross the line, although I’m not too sure I’ll pledge to stay in line. I got a paddling at school in the 1rst grade for that. It was the after lunch, back to class line. I was in it, it started moving and I went with it all the way back to the classroom and sat down in my desk just like we’d been doing… Continue

Hi,
Don't know if this will help much but I'll tell you what I use for finicky shellcrackers here in Alabama.
My Ultralite pole has 10lb. powerpro moss green line.(it has the same diameter as 2lb. test.
I had the same problems with fireline and gave…

I use power pro specifically for spinning reels. It does a fantustic job. I even put it on my bait casters for a test and when I hit a my motor by accident and flipped a HUGE Bird nest I had it picked with in 2 min being very gentle. It works great…
I think so... if i'm wrong tell me.
Great fish! Take more pictures of these if you catch them. Redbreast sunfish, right?
Fabulous white crappie!
oohhh thanks
I will be the man if i have some more pics like this one, tomorrow morning. I'd count on it
I currently fish with 2 - 4lb Hi Vis Gold Stren (old eyes) ... tied to a 6 ft length of 2lb Maxima or 2lb Vanish Fluorocarbon leader. I fish with very small jigs 1/100th - 1/64th of an ounce... these jigs are normally tipped with a cricket, mealwo…
No, i live in california,but i drive truck across country. All i can remember was that this fish along with like 100 gills were caught in a small lake in allentown,PA

Greg,
Last week the weather was warm and the fish were in 6-8 feet of water. Yesterday there was a cold front and the fished moved out to the mouth of the bays and were suspended off ledges in 30 ft. of water!
Caught them vertical jigging with plas…
