March is a transition month on the Gulf Coast, and weather and water temperatures will have a direct effect on what type of fish you can catch during the beginning and at the end of the month. […]
The Magnolia State’s lakes and reservoirs offer some of the best crappie fishing in the country. […]
The rod tip bobbled ever so slightly. The guide barely spoke “wait.” The action was playing out faster than my brain could calculate it all. Then beyond the bobble, the tip jerked straight down as I flipped the cork grip upward in an automatic reaction. […]
Mark Tucker must have felt some sense of redemption.
After plying his fishing skills on the Elite Series for the past 10 years, he opted out of an 11th season at the 11th hour, choosing instead to give the Opens a try.
In a squeaker on Texas’ Lewisville Lake, Tucker found just enough weight to win his first B.A.S.S. victory. And for claiming the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open, he takes home $10,000, a Skeeter/Yamaha boat and motor package worth $25,000 and a berth in the 2012 Bassmaster Classic. […]

For those who knew what they were looking at and could appreciate it, this was a sight to behold. The scene took place on Ross Barnett Reservoir.
[…]
Current weather conditions: 22 degrees with bright bluebird skies, 10 to 15 mph winds on the second day after a cold front has passed through. […]
Old-timers may not like it, but progress is part of life. Heck, if my dad still had his way, he’d have me out in the fields harvesting and threshing grain stalks by hand.
[…]
Nothing speaks to the soul of a turkey hunter like the booming gobble of a Mississippi longbeard. He hears it as an irresistible challenge that must be answered, at whatever cost. […]
Hunting began with a bang for Bogue Chitto’s Kolby Byrd when he arrowed a 150-inch 9-point on Oct. 6, and that big kill heralded the beginning of what turned into the best season since 2007. […]
It’s hard to tell who exactly was the star of the 2011 Bassmaster Classic.
Was it Kevin VanDam, the now four-time Classic winner, who threw 69 pounds of bass on the scales to crush the dreams of 49 other anglers?
