Things have really changed over the past 40-odd years when it comes to deer hunting. There would certainly be some debate regarding certain aspects of the sport, but for the most part — in my humble opinion — we as deer hunters have never had it better than we do right now, especially here in the Deep South.

Capt. Robert Brodie, who operates Team Brodie Charters based out of Biloxi, is a master of fishing the coastal rivers for speckled trout, saltwater stripers, redfish and an occasional flounder. He also fishes for sheepshead, redfish and black drum around the bridges. In an eight-hour trip, you can experience both these styles of fishing. […]
Pickwick Lake in the northeastern corner of Mississippi is one of the best cold-weather reservoirs in December. I often catch 40 to 50 bass a day there. […]
Waterfowl hunters in the Mississippi Delta are disappointed that the first major cold front of the season didn’t magically produce a massive migration of ducks. It did make two weeks of unseasonably warm weather disappear overnight, and while making it more comfortable to hunt is a good thing, it would be better if there were more ducks to shoot. […]
It happens every season about this time of year: Deer hunters are approaching the annual December two-week primitive weapons season wondering what hunting tool to take to the woods. […]
Normally, a 150-inch 9-point taken from the Big Black River bottoms of Hinds County would not get a lot of attention, but, then, nothing about Wil Moore’s buck is normal. […]
December marks the beginning of my favorite time to be bass fishing. No, I don’t like the challenge of being so cold it hurts, being stuffed into so many layers of clothing that it’s hard to move or the thrill of falling into 45-degree water. […]
I just love this time of the year! Crappie fishing is never better, as far as I am concerned — including the ever-popular spring season. I said it before: Crappie, during this time of the year, “feed up.” The shorter days and cooling water temps signal freshwater fish that winter, with its hard times, is right around the corner. […]
Working the dam at Calling Panther Lake near Crystal Springs, I kept the boat parallel to the riprap and launched the long, thin Pro Pointer 100 jerkbait as close to the rocks as I could.
With three quick jerks of the rod tip, I put the lure to work.
And, then, I stopped and let the bait’s suspending characteristics do the work. […]
The first thing that springs to mind when an electrical accessory stops working is a blown fuse or popped circuit breaker. In a new boat this usually means pressing the circuit breaker button next to the accessory’s switch or popping the cover off a box near the console and checking the fuse or breaker that protects the now powerless accessory.In the case of a used boat, especially if it has passed through several owners, this could be the start of an Easter egg hunt… […]
All the days I spent in a deer stand around Thanksgiving, the holidays have only produced one trophy moment. And the trophy I nailed didn’t walk on dry land, it swam in an oxbow lake. […]
During November, we’ll be fishing 500-acre Maynor Creek, located just outside of Waynesboro, where numbers of big bass live. […]
