Changes proposed for Sardis crappie size and creel limits

January 22, 2013 Bobby Cleveland

Crappie fishermen at one of Mississippi’s best perch-jerking holes would be able to take home a higher percentage of the crappie they catch, but they won’t be able to take home as many each day under a regulation change proposed last week by state wildlife officials.

The size limit at Sardis Reservoir will drop from a 12-inch minimum to a 10-inch minimum, but the daily limit will be reduced from 20 per person per day to 15 per person. The boat limit, with three or more anglers, will fall from 50 per day to 40 per day. […]

The LaserLyte Reaction Tyme Target System allows shooters to train in basements, garages, family rooms and many other places where actually firing a gun isn’t safe or practical –and it saves money on ammunition. […]

Extravaganza has become family tradition

July 30, 2012 Bobby Cleveland

Billy Reynolds remembers vividly his dad leading him by the hand through the doors at the Mississippi Trade Mart in Jackson. It was something they did each August of his youth, and it played a key role in opening his eyes to the world of outdoor sports.

“Dad’s way of kicking off the hunting season every year, and he knew it was the perfect way to spark a kid’s interest,” said Reynolds of Brandon, now a 28-year-old father. “Now, it’s time for me to do the same with my oldest son, Will, who is 4. I can’t wait to take him to the Extravaganza. It’s my time to pass it on.” […]
