The Magnolia Crappie Club has been around for almost 20 years. Entering our 19th season, MCC held its largest event ever this fall. This was a big deal in the world of crappie tournament fishing, and I’d like to tell you about it.

When you’re fishing on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast this month, you’ll catch numerous species of hard-fighting fish that also are delicious to eat. […]
I’m addicted to big spotted bass. They fight hard, they’re fun to catch and at this time of year, you often can catch a bunch of big ones — 2- to 5-pounders almost every day in November — at Bay Springs Lake.
