One of the biggest differences between trolling crankbaits on a clear water lake like Pickwick and a more stained or muddy water lake like Sardis or Grenada is the size line you need to use. […]
Another fallacy about trolling crankbaits is that it only works on big lakes. Over the last few years, fishing reports have come in about big catches of crappie that occurred on smaller bodies of water, even from some of Mississippi’s oxbow lakes. […]
The fishing information contained in the popular publication Precision Trolling is a troller’s dream come true. […]
Kerry French has had his share of frustration from trail cameras, and not just for failure of capturing deer photos. […]
While the focus of trail cams is hopefully on deer, hunters often find other critters on the images. This can be fun and even beneficial, since full-scale comprehensive game management of any given hunting property has to encompass the full spectrum of wildlife species. This means also understanding and appreciating the impact these other animals have on the deer population. […]
If you pitch jigs using your dominant hand, you’re putting yourself at a huge disadvantage, accomplished tournament angler Ken Sherman said. […]
T.J. Stallings is an avid angler who mixes his fishing passion with his job as P.R. Director/lure designer at TTI Blakemore, which, more than coincidentally, makes the Road Runner lures that Stallings loves for creek trips. […]
Another creek bass expert, Brent Baucum, has specific areas that he always targets.
“I usually catch my biggest fish up to 100 yards below the shoals,” he said. “But, as far as numbers, I catch more right above the shoals or in the outside creek bends. They are usually deeper and hold some better fish in the small creeks.” […]
Shoals: Many shallow water streams, creeks and rivers are filled with rocky bottoms and many of these have rocky shoals or small rapid areas that are perfect ambush spots for bass. […]
The motivation behind the creation of the hybrid striped bass isn’t really documented. When fisheries biologists discovered that if they introduced hormones to induce female striped bass those bass would ovulate, it stands to reason that those biologists were curious as to whether they could duplicate their success by cross breeding two different fish. […]
Flat line trolling of artificial baits is a very effective, often overlooked method of striped bass fishing. It’s a great search tool as is trolling of all types. Locating active schools of striped bass on Barnett Reservoir is more than half the battle. […]
Andy Smith of Greene County has fished the Pascagoula for more than 30 years and has some advice for those fishing the river for the first time […]
