GPS units navigate by satellites that circle the earth twice a day at an altitude of almost 11,000 miles, yet the system can take you back to within a boat length of a location you saved in memory. Thinking about that makes my head hurt, so like most other fishermen, I prefer to just take the system for granted. […]
Fishing has heated up this month off Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Although snapper season will close in August, anglers still can catch plenty of fish in deep water. […]
Last month I “trashed” water hyacinths with insults like “the purple plague” and “one of the worst things that could happen to a fishery.” […]
As the dog days approach and most Magnolia State anglers retreat from the summer heat to air-conditioned homes, there is a group of anglers who relish this time of year. […]
For more than 50 years, Bobby Williams has charter-fished out of Biloxi. Williams has three sons, which led him to dub his fourth charterboat Three Sons IV. He’s fished before and after storms in good and bad conditions. […]
As the weather warms up, I look for lakes with deep structure where big bass can hold and feed. My pick this month is 1,000-acre Lake Okhissa in Franklin County near Bude, one of the newest lakes in the state. […]
As an angler and a fisheries biologist, I’m a big fan of aquatic vegetation. Our waters, particularly southern reservoirs, need more vegetation. […]
Hot enough for you? Man, I’m burning up. The older I get, the less tolerant I am of our typical, tropical summers. O.K., I admit it: The air conditioning and soft living have turned me into a woos. […]
Cliff Pace of Petal not only made his way to the major league of bass fishing, but he almost won the 2008 Bassmaster Classic at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina. […]
Just as my D.O.A. Shrimp hit the water, I felt as though my cast had landed on the caboose of a runaway freight train. The rod pretzelled, and the line came off the reel as the drag sang a high-pitched tune. […]
Bass anglers are never satisfied with the lures that reside in their tackle boxes. In an effort to gain the upper hand over everybody else on the lake, they become amateur cosmetic surgeons who shave, clip and snip legs, arms and lips. […]
