I spend a lot of time perusing social media, reading Facebook posts, blogs and fishing reports to learn new things that will make me a better trout fisherman.
One thing I’ve noticed is that Jackson County doesn’t get a lot of mention. […]
One angler who consistently catches trout — and big trout, at that — is Alex Smith from Gulfport. He uses an Alberto knot. […]
“How’s the snapper?” I asked.
“It’s OK, but it could use some garlic,” Uncle Topper replied. […]
Capt. Charlie Bush and I were set up on the inside edge of a grass point, catching trout sporadically while waiting on the tide to turn. […]
I love December. I love Christmas music, Christmas trees, Christmas presents, Christmas cookies, the movies Elf and A Christmas Story, cool temps and the fact that trout are stacked up in deep bayous no more than a long cast wide. […]
I’m a creature of habit. I like to get to the ramp about 30 minutes before sunrise so I can take my time getting the boat in the water, arrange my gear, collect my thoughts, and thank God for the marsh and all the life it holds. […]
It’s also the month that pays off for being patient and waiting for cooler temperatures, less wind and fewer anglers crowding the waterway.
It’s a happy time for this guy. […]
I’ve been fired from two jobs in my life. One firing came in 1985 because my fear of heights prevented me from working derricks when the derrick hand got injured. […]
The west winds the last several weeks have been brutal, creating a cabin fever-like sickness only a Gulf coast resident could understand. […]
Live bait can make a world of difference during the summer. The favored option for coastal anglers is live shrimp under a cork or on a Carolina rig. […]
Warm weather has officially arrived, and everyone with any manner of watercraft is on the water. My wife equated a boat ride this time of year to driving on steroids because you have to keep a 360-degree watch for oncoming traffic. […]
Flounder swim along our shores and are ready for the taking, if you’re willing to go after them. That’s why you should try flounder gigging with the family. […]
