April is the month when both the spotted and the largemouth bass move to shallow water in Bay Springs Lake located near Booneville. They’re easier to catch this month at Bay Springs than any other month of the year. […]
Cobia move from South Florida into Mississippi in late March and early April. After spawning off the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts, they return to south Florida in the fall — or do they? […]
The mere mention of trying to go after a wild turkey on public land scares off most turkey hunters, even the veterans. […]
SPLOOSH! With that one loud splash, a miserable morning on the water suddenly showed promise even though my plastic frog reappeared on the surface of the 200-acre lake.“Aw man, she missed it,” I hollered. […]
