Flooding of the Mississippi River delta over the past several years has resulted in changes to turkey-hunting season changes on wildlife management areas in the southern reaches of that popular area of the state, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks announced earlier this month.
These changes impact Mahannah, Shipland, Sunflower and Twin Oaks WMAs. […]
A series of public meetings to discuss the state’s system of wildlife management areas will be held through the end of February, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks has announced.
The meetings, which will showcase regional WMA harvest data, habitat work, infrastructure improvements and information about the agency, are being held across the state and hosted by MDWFP. […]
A free saltwater flyfishing workshop is scheduled for Saturday (Feb. 11) at the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources announced today. […]
We were swapping out units: I was getting a newer take-home unit from one of the other guys. He was getting another unit assigned to him by the chief in our small-town police department. […]
It’s great when that first cast meets with aggressive reception, but often, it takes some dialing in to determine the fish’s preference. Notwithstanding the oft-proven merits of junk fishing, a handful of examples show us that certain lure pairings hold particularly strategic benefit.

The Magnolia State is blessed with some of the finest turkey hunting to be found anywhere in North America. But before you can draw a bead and seal the deal on a longbeard, you must first identify the areas that offer up the best opportunities for success.
Here is what the state’s top turkey biologists are predicting for the 2012 spring turkey season. […]
Boy, am I pumped or what! Just about the time I thought I had run out of words to use in this crappie column, someone sends me a picture of some recently caught Eagle Lake slabs. […]
By this time of year, most hunters are worn out. Deer hunters have been in the woods since way back in October. Bowhunters are tired, deer dogs are thin as wheat wafers, even the deer are glad the season has finally come to a close. […]
This month, I’m picking Lake Ross Barnett, near Jackson. To find the bass, we’ve got to shrink the lake and concentrate on where they’re most likely to be and the lures they’re most likely to take. This month, bass have spawning on their minds, and they’re looking for warm, shallow water, and structure in the water in those two areas. […]
It’s difficult to get tournament anglers to share their competitive advantages, but Magnolia Crappie Club member Bernard Williams let at least one of his cats out of the bag. […]
To hear Chotard Landing Resort manager Mark Johnson explain it, the shoreline of the lake just outside his back door stretched from the Louisiana levee to the Mississippi levee just about a year ago. […]
Whether your favorite sport fish is catfish or crappie, bass or bream, or any other fish, all fish follow the same biological rules that govern how fast they grow and how big they get. […]
