Just One More Cast Syndrome

One subject I think all fisherman can relate to is what I like to call the, “just one more cast”, syndrome. I don’t know a single addict that doesn?t have a story about the JOMC affliction.

East Tennessee Smallmouth Bass Fishing

Day two of our four day excursion started more than early, it started at 2:30 am on Wednesday, November 3. Bottom line is that we just didn’t get any sleep the night before because the day on Lake Lanier had been such a blast, its hard to come down from something like that. [Read more…]

I went fishing the other night on the day after the full moon. Now this is something that typically I would do as often as getting a root canal without anesthesia. However, with no other options in sight and since I was starting to go through the DT’s, I decided to go ahead and go knowing that that my chances of catching much of anything would probably be limited at best.

The Craziest Catch Of All Time

We have all had memorable fishing trips including catching our biggest fish, the most fish we have ever caught, the worst conditions we have ever fished in and so on.
