I’ll plan to fish relatively shallow Okatibbee Reservoir in December because rarely does Mississippi have enough cold water to drive bass into deep water.
When Okatibbee goes through a winter drawdown, the bass move to the underwater creek and river channel edges. You can locate those edges with your depth finder.
The rut is on, at least in some areas of north Mississippi, and it has helped a young hunter exceed 320 total inches of antlers this season.
Joel Alexander, 33, of Flowood, began this week with an albatross around his neck — “I’ve been hunting with a bow most of my life and I’d never killed a deer, neither a buck or a doe.”
Louisiana hunter Jimmy Giacone was enjoying a morning hunt at a buddy’s lease near Liberty Sunday (Nov. 20) when three deer stepped out. […]
Chris Herring of New Hope has every right to be proud of 10-year-old daughter Marley Kate and the 184 2/8-inch buck she killed on Nov. 12 during the second weekend of the youth gun season. […]
From August through October, bass fishing at Bogue Homa slows as the water cools down. […]
Biologists are impressed with the recapture of bass initially tagged and released earlier this year after spring tournaments at Barnett Reservoir. […]
In October, Bay Springs Lake is one of my favorite places to fish because cooler weather makes baitfish much more active.
And Bay Springs homes a good number of spotted bass, lots of grass and clear water. […]
Ben Carver’s story behind the biggest buck he’s ever killed with a bow is, in his words, kind of funny.
Weird is a better adjective for what happened Sunday afternoon in Oktibbeha County. […]

Nothing’s more exciting than watching a big bass blow up on a topwater lure — whether I catch the bass or not. […]
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.
