Providing fishing opportunities costs money. Think about it. A launching ramp with a 3-acre parking lot and a road to it might cost $1 million. Modern hatcheries cost $10-20 million, maybe more. The new North Mississippi Hatchery cost $12 million. […]
February is a productive month to catch big pre-spawn bass in almost any Mississippi lake. To catch big bass, go where you can find those big bass and have the least amount of fishing pressure. […]
It’s February. You’re sick of deer hunting. Your rabbit dogs are dead tired. The woods are too wet to squirrel hunt. Turkey hunting is more than a month away. It is way too cold to fish — besides the bass boat is still in storage. […]
Capt. Robert Brodie with Team Brodie Charters, who has his boat based at Biloxi’s D’Iberville Marina, says you can find the big speckled trout in the coastal rivers and other species around the rivers during February. […]
Let me tell you from first-hand experience the winter crappie pattern is on over at Chotard.

The brightly colored floats dipped and bobbed in the bright winter sun, but gave no indication of the scene that was unfolding below the surface of the water. […]
Exhaustion sets in, forcing the battle-scarred buck to seek refuge. An eye is wounded, and missing fur and cuts prevail all around its face and neck. Finally, the worn buck returns to an old bedding site. Here it beds down, and within minutes, the whitetail knocks out. […]
FLW tournament angler Ken Murphy was idling across Okatibbee Lake on a bluebird day after a cold front, quickly assessed the situation and made a run for the dam. […]
As Ol’ Man Winter slowly releases his grip on the Deep South, many of us will find ourselves out listening on those warmer days for the first gobbles of the season. The spring turkey season is a much anticipated event for many woodsmen in the Magnolia State. […]
