The recent announcement of B’n’M’s new Duck Commander Series of crappie fishing poles has taken the angling world by storm, although some remain skeptical of the qualifications of well-known duck hunters.
Turkey hunters are always looking for an edge, and under certain circumstances decoys can be exactly that — an advantage that helps close the deal on a spring gobbler. […]
Mississippi is blessed with six U.S. National Forests, combining to provide the state with a huge public land hunting resource that is spread across the entire state. […]
Pete Ponds wishes his schedule would allow him more time to fish several of the smaller waters in Mississippi. […]
Ask Pete Ponds the most critical factor in successful bed fishing for bass and he is quick with the answer: “Being able to see the fish.” […]
Paul Meek started out hunting turkeys for fun, but over the years it transformed into a desire to make the best turkey calls. […]
Everybody knows that kee-kees are made by young turkeys and are rarely heard in the spring season and they’re almost never used to call up gobblers … everybody but Paul Meek that is. […]
“Friction calls is a sport to me,” said Meek. “I make mouth calls and use them some too, but I don’t depend on them in public areas because they get burned up by calling. A lot of beginning hunters think they’ve got to use the mouth calls because they think they’re better in some way. […]

When crappie favor minnows, either on bare hooks or jigs, keeping your live baits alive is of paramount importance. Live wells will do the trick, but when they are situated at the stern fishermen kill a lot of time walking back and forth for reach replacements. […]
Trout, redfish, flounder, jacks — there aren’t many saltwater fish that won’t eat a finger mullet. That’s why anglers often try their best to impersonate these popular baitfish with the lures they throw. […]
It seems fitting that a bait so commonly thrown from a bass boat would have a design feature common to this type of vessel. Indeed, the Vicious Frog owes its tantalizing side-to-side walking style to the “bass boat” belly that effects this bass-tempting movement. […]
