Capt. Mike Moore of Strictly Business Fishing Charters in Biloxi wants to provide an opportunity for anglers to go fishing any way they want on his Strictly Business, a 38-foot Bertram sport-fishing boat for offshore fishing, and the Strictly Too, a 23-foot open fisherman for inshore fishing. […]
What is finer in life than a platter of hot and crispy crappie fillets? Well, sure bass fillets are pretty good, and so are flounder, redfish and speckled trout. Fresh fish is good, and that’s the reason a lot more outdoor enthusiasts fish than hunt. […]
In last month’s column, I shared what biologists know about largemouth bass spawning, emphasizing those aspects that may help anglers intercept spawning bass and habitat conditions that are needed for successful spawning. Largemouth bass are, compared to other fishes, pretty flexible in their spawning requirements. […]
It was a drizzly, miserable December 2009 night in Marrero, a small river town across from New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River. […]
It’s April, and it’s the peak of the annual crappie spawn on most lakes in Mississippi. If there were only one month out of the year that a fellow could choose to go crappie fishing, most anglers would pick April. […]
My truck pulls a travel trailer or a boat much of the year, but there are weeks when it just sits in the garage. Thinking it had been two weeks or so since I’d driven it, I figured I’d give it some exercise while running a few errands. […]
Many Mississippi Gulf Coast anglers consider a temperature gauge the best tool for catching fish during April. A temperature gauge will tell you the most-abundant and the easiest-to-catch fish on the Gulf Coast and the locations of those fish, and often identify the baits these April fish will prefer to eat. […]
During April, I like to fish the Columbus Pool of the Tombigbee River because that’s when the bass usually spawn there. The bass stay very shallow, and are really accessible this month. You often can catch a nice string of good-sized bass in April at Columbus. They will be holding in all the backwater areas and around the banks. […]
It’s April. Spring has sprung, and we are in the throes of prime time for turkey hunting. Big toms are heating up their gobbling action. Hen groups are starting to bust up a bit and separate. This is the time when a big gobbler can be coaxed into gun range with some seductive hen calls. The trick is where to go to find these gobbling toms. […]
The largemouth bass are spawning. In South Mississippi, bass have been bedding for a couple weeks in ponds and in backwaters of the Pascagoula and Pearl rivers. In central Mississippi waters, the spawn is heading toward a peak. […]
Let’s talk about some half-truths, some fishing myths and some surprises, if you will, that I’ve experienced in the last year or two of crappie fishing. What ever you call it, things don’t always work out like we expect when we grab a bucket of minnows or a bag of jigs and head to our favorite crappie hotspot. […]
Calling Panther is the lake, and March is the month to catch a bass of a lifetime. But to get that monster bass, you’ll have to fight for it. You’ll have to go where no one else goes and fish like most anglers don’t like to fish. […]
