About Thrifty Fisherman
We are passionate about fishing on the lake. We focus on fishing for crappie because it’s a fun challenge to go out and see where those fish are hiding. This journey started back on the Mississippi River dreaming about the fish I could case with my worm and a reel just sitting on the bank watching the barges float by with no care in the world. We usually just caught carp but there were occasions where we caught a catfish.
