Last year, we had our big Outdoor Family Fun Day. We did all sorts of stuff out there with games, demonstrations, prizes, and just a lot of great stuff. Well, you guys liked it so much that we're bringing it back again this year, bigger than ever!
Rifle season has come to an end and black powder season is about to begin. The season has been changed this year to include crossbow, pistol with a barrel length of 14" or less, a spear with a name I can't pronounce and, of course, muzzleloader. It should be a great alternative methods season.
The fair is over, the weather is great, and the kids are back in school. With a record drought going on, food plots are looking terrible, the creeks are low and the lakes are drooping. However, you can still catch crappie and some nice cats too. Plus, the deer are still looking great. It's also looking like there's going to be a lot of turkey this year too.
There's a lot going on this week, so let's get right to it! First, the Crappie are biting in three to six feet of water on the flats, and 25 - 30 feet of water on channels and bluffs. Make sure you've got your jig tip with minnow. Daylight until about 10:00 a.m. is the best time to find them, but they seem to shut down after that.
