Daddy Was a Hunter

The boy's father had many noble traits, and chief among them was that he was a hunter. Such things can mean a lot to a boy, for better or worse. It's all about how a father's influence can shape a life - something that means even more to me these days, since my father passed away.

Crappie Fishing At Christmas
I have always fished during Christmas, often spending two weeks at Clark's Hill during the school holidays when I was a teacher and school administrator. There were many good days of fishing and I figured out how to catch a variety of fish. Crappie were a main target. They were fat and healthy and winter was a good time for frying fresh fish as well as filling up the freezer. The patterns I fished may work for you where you fish.
