This month we’re going to Bogue Homa, a state-owned 1,200-acre lake right outside Laurel. The lake was closed in June 2007, but has since been restocked and is slated to reopen this month. […]
Capt. Mike Moore of Strictly Business Fishing Charters in Biloxi wants to provide an opportunity for anglers to go fishing any way they want on his Strictly Business, a 38-foot Bertram sport-fishing boat for offshore fishing, and the Strictly Too, a 23-foot open fisherman for inshore fishing. […]
What is finer in life than a platter of hot and crispy crappie fillets? Well, sure bass fillets are pretty good, and so are flounder, redfish and speckled trout. Fresh fish is good, and that’s the reason a lot more outdoor enthusiasts fish than hunt. […]
In last month’s column, I shared what biologists know about largemouth bass spawning, emphasizing those aspects that may help anglers intercept spawning bass and habitat conditions that are needed for successful spawning.

When the dogwoods bloom, not only do the crappie begin biting, but cobia move from Florida and start inhabiting the Mississippi Gulf Coast beaches, wrecks, reefs and rigs. […]
Just mentioning the words “fly fishing” conjures up magical images of casting for brookies in the Rockies, rainbows in Arkansas, specks in the Gulf of Mexico, silver salmon in Alaska and even bedding bluegills here in Mississippi. […]
Veteran angler Keith Ramage pulled out his go-to bait, and began combing the shallow-water ledge with an old trusty crankbait when a feisty bass smashed the lure and almost tore the rod from his hands. Ramage quickly regained his composure and began to work the bass toward the boat. […]

It’s April. If you want to catch a lunker bass, now’s the time to do it, and this issue tells you where. […]
It’s April, and it’s the peak of the annual crappie spawn on most lakes in Mississippi. If there were only one month out of the year that a fellow could choose to go crappie fishing, most anglers would pick April. […]
