If you think about the enjoyment of delicious fresh tuna cooking on the grill while you’re watching your favorite football game on a Sunday afternoon, you’ll realize how much your friends, family and business associates will enjoy a tuna-fishing trip as a Christmas present.
Units capable of doing practically everything are available, yet some boaters still prefer single-purpose electronics. Is there a “best” solution? […]
The New Year is right around the corner, and with ’10 upon us, I find myself experimenting with my crappie fishing, trying some things new to me. […]
Lake Okhissa, a 1,100-acre lake tucked inside the Homochitto National Forest near Bude, is my December pick for bass fishing. A fairly new lake, Okhissa has plenty of deep water and flooded timber. The bass generally prefer to hold in the brush, especially in the winter months. When the water starts to get cold, the bass will begin grouping into bigger schools, as they move out to their winter habitat. […]
I remember the first Ruger 10-22 carbine I came across. […]
You’ve seen the videos on the internet and even on the national news — silver projectiles weighing 10 to 20 pounds erupting from the water and occasionally landing in boats. […]
Just before the start of the first firearms season last year, which the state officially calls “Gun Season with Dogs,” I made the rounds to several of the top hunting gear outlets in the Jackson area. What I found were full parking lots, a buzz of folks coming and going with some acting like they were in a sort of panic like the supplier was maybe going to run out of the exact item they needed.

The crappie fishing season — at least the crappie tournament fishing season — is in full swing. The last few years have brought more and more interest in fall crappie fishing. The tournament circuits have recognized this, and the two national circuits — Crappiemasters and Crappie USA — have moved their National Championship tourneys to the fall. […]
The AR-style rifle has come into its own.
First designed by Eugene Stoner in .308 caliber when he worked for the Armalite corporation, the aluminum receiver guns were the stuff of science-fiction films, far ahead of their time. […]
Capt. Matthew Tusa of Shore Thing Fishing Charters, based out of Bay St. Louis, fishes about 250 days each year, and he really loves those he spends on the water this month. […]
Thirty years ago, a state-of-the-art fish finder had a round turntable with a light bulb mounted on its edge spinning behind a clear circular window. There were hash marks and depth scale numbers printed around the window. The bulb flashed steadily at two points on the scale: one marked the water’s surface and the other its bottom. Random flashes between these two points indicated fish and structure. […]
I love those big spotted bass at Bay Springs Lake, located near Booneville in Tishomingo County on the Tombigbee Waterway. In November, the water has cooled down, and those big spotted bass really get fired up. You’ll have a lot of fun catching them on top and getting your rod bent to the breaking point. […]
