It might sound funny, and it certainly looks amusing, but a wacky-rigged stick worm is a tough rig to beat when the big females are staging for the spawn and the fishing conditions get tough. […]
You’ll find Bogue Homa Lake just a few miles out of Laurel, where I live. The fourth year of a lake being stocked is when you start catching bigger bass, and this will be about the fourth year for Bogue Homa. […]
