Rarely does just one turkey call work on every gobbler every time. Even the call that I rely on the most, singularly because it has been the top producer over the last 15 years, does not always fool a gobbler. […]
“One call, that’s all!” is the slogan used by a prominent personal-injury attorney on billboards and television commercials in the Jackson area. With a slogan like that, you can bet that Richard Schwartz isn’t a turkey hunter. […]
Mississippi Sportsman talked with Capt. George Pelaez, captain of the Joka’s Wild, to get the best information on when, where and how to fish the Chandeleur Islands, a favorite destination for speckled trout and redfish anglers who leave from Biloxi. […]
Many years ago while fishing Pickwick Lake with his father, Roger Gant of Corinth made a startling discovery after he laid his rod down and let the boat drift across the lake. […]
In 1992, the Mississippi state-record largemouth bass caught out of Natchez State Park Lake weighed a little more than 18 pounds. Known for homing big bass, and with March the prime time when the big bass go to the beds, Natchez State Park Lake is the best place to catch a trophy bass.

If you can’t fill a stringer with crappie this month, you need to just give up. […]
Mississippi’s run of trophy bucks continues. Here are some of the monsters that skilled and, sometimes, lucky hunters took this season. […]
Susan Gregory eased the trolling motor into the water, and began probing the brackish waters of Cowan Bayou on the Lower Pearl much like a skilled surgeon. […]
Hey, friend, it’s that time of the year again. That’s right. If there is such thing as a fishing season here in Mississippi, consider this to be the opening weekend, and you don’t want to miss it, do you? […]
Handling five to eight fishing poles with tips bent each from the weight of fish on all at the same time is some pretty good fishing action. In fact, it’s the most fever-pitched crappie action this angler has ever run into. […]
At first light, an old battle-worn tom belted out a voluminous gobble that served as a warning to all would-be suitors and a come-hither call for any available hens. […]
