August 21st 3:00PM Cabela's FTW

Well, another 2-3 months and the crappie will start to move into the creeks in the fall. So if you winterize your boat or don�t have a boat, and you like crappie fishing, you might want to join me for a FREE seminar at Cabela's.

I'll go over how:

-To read the water
-When to go fishing
-What gear to fish with
-At the end, a "how to tie your own jigs" Bring the kiddos!
-Plus much more....


-Learn how to tie jigs. This jig last season caught over 1000+ slabs within a month.

Water temps were 41 degrees and I was pulling them out of 3 ft of water most of the season from the bank! And, I'll show you how!


-2 man limit Rowlett Creek


-Also, learn to navigate the creeks in smaller water crafts like tubes and yaks, with electronics, and locate crappie where the bank and bigger boats anglers can�t get to. Just look above at how thick that school is on the bottom! They were stacked 7 ft from the bottom on top of each other, most of the season.

One of the 3 "One Man Pontoon Boats" I guide and navigate the creeks with.

North Texas Crappie Fishing - Meet Pro Guide Carey Thorn

Meet North Texas Pro Guide Carey Thorn as he shares his experiences creek guiding for crappie and sand bass in North Texas. Carey is a true pro in a unique field that makes it easy for everyone to catch fish and enjoy the outdoors more in our area.
Saturday, 3:00 p.m.
Location: Fishing Department Lower Level Right Side of Store.

Dont forget about the Bargin Cave at Cabela's. You can wheel and deal in there..... There is always something in there to walk out with.....

If I am back from Cooper or Hugo, I will try to make it out for the seminar. Do you ever fish Hickory Creek?

Yes, the same tactics will work there. This year the fishing in HC was fantastic, when I could get up there. Just make sure you ask questions if I didn't go over them in the seminar. Even ask while I'm talking so you don't forget to ask...... I have no problem with being interrupted when im doing these.

Thanks Carey... With Cabelas opening @ Allen next year, hopefully you will still doing it so some of us does not drive all the way to the other side of town to attend your seminars

Im already on the list for the opening there. I cant wait to have a shop close to me. 10 minute drive!!

And both Bass Pro Shops will have one more seminar each before the winter run of crappie in the creeks. Then they will have one for the sandbass run in dec/jan. The drive for me sux too, lol. But this time we get a food vendor card, so i will get a free sandwich! They actually have a great BLT. I highly recommend you try one.

When will the one at bass pro be?

Still waiting on a date we can agree on.

How long will your seminar be

about an hour. Im trying to cut it down to 45 minutes. Its a lot of info with a slide show while im talking to show you what im looking at and why im fishing the places im fishing...ect

Okay I'll have the girlfriend with me and she can only handle so long of fish talk.

Im trying to make them shorter, but I lose track of time and keep talkin. I promise no longer than 45 minutes as to ill be talking more about crappie than the sandies.
