Crappie Fishing

Today I finalized my trip with Captain Brad Taylor to go Crappie fishing this Thursday, June 11th. An outdoors magazine set up the trip for me and one of their photographers to interview a known guide and get pictures for an article I'm writing about crappie fishing. I must admit I've never been fishing with a guide before, so the opportunity is something I'm looking forward to. We will be fishing on Lake Murray in central South Carolina.

When we return I'll give more details on the trip, but not too much, you'll have to get the magazine when it comes out next spring to read the details, after all they have first publication rights to the article.

And in the next week the same photographer and I will be going bow-fishing for another article with the same magazine. Same scenario, more pictures and another article - this one's about bow-fishing along rivers during the day.

After ten plus years of sending out manuscripts and working on the craft of writing, the hard work is paying off. Now to branch out to regional and national magazines.......interestingly, most of the articles I've sold deal with fishing, and I hunt far more than I fish, I guess I need to work harder on the hunting articles.
