Bass catchability
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. […]

Mix it up this month
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. […]

Tricks to warming up Mississippi’s cold water bass
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.

Crappie Hotspots – Pickwick Lake
Located at the most-northern reach of the Tom-Bigbee Waterway, Pickwick Lake is synonymous with crappie fishing to many anglers in the tri-state areas of Northeast Mississippi, Northwest Alabama, and Southern Tennessee.
Pickwick’s clear waters are in stark contrast to most of Mississippi’s other notable crappie lakes, but its reputation as a slab crappie fishery is well earned.
As cooler weather settles in for the season, two things occur that help crappie anglers hone in on their favorite game fish. With flood control as one of the lake’s primary objectives, the Tennessee Valley Authority begins drawing the impoundment down to winter pool. In reaction to both the receding and cooling water, crappie tend to congregate along the main channels of Pickwick’s major tributaries. […]
