For those spur-of-the-moment summer heat showers, it’s nice to be prepared. That’s why I like to carry my Norfin USA rain jacket on the boat!

I love it when a plan comes to fruition - just look at that crappie! I had a lot of success on Grenada Lake thanks to PICO crankbaits and Bobby Garland Crappie Baits. Check out your local Bass Pro Shops for a variety of popular lures and crankbaits.

During the 2023 Mississippi Media Camp, the Thundermist Lure Company T-Turn 3-Way Swivel was one of the tools I utilized when targeting slab crappie. It allowed me to tie a lure and a PICO Crankbait on my line, putting multiple presentations in front of the fish. No matter which bait or technique you use, it’s important to run baits just above the fish. The Precision Trolling Data, LLC app provides data for setting bait depths whether using cranks or jigs. Special thank you to Nick DeShano with Off Shore Tackle Company for joining me on Grenada Lake!

Spider rigging with B'n'M Fishing + pulling Off Shore Tackle Company planer boards = more crappie in the boat! If you want to cover more water and find where fish are in an efficient way, try this technique.

Riding in style on Grenada Lake! The great thing about rigging my boat with the Yamaha Outboards VMAX 250 SHO and Power-Pole Total Boat Control anchors with drift paddles is the control that comes with these great products.

All smiles on Grenada Lake, Mississippi after a successful day of fishing for slabs! Airport Marine hooked me up with a new Bass Cat Boats at the beginning of the year, and it has been a blast to take out on the water this season. It’s also an honor to represent each of my sponsors as I travel for tournaments and camps, and Epic Wraps has helped me do just that.
