The best spot for catching bass in January is federally owned Turkey Fork Lake, east of Richton in Perry County. Restocked in 1994, this lake holds a number of man-made structures, 24- to 25-foot-deep water and a lot of lily pads in its back end. The lake’s small size (240 acres) is one of the reasons I like to fish it in January. […]
If you have an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) for your boat and it’s old, you need to take a quick look at it. EPIRB’s that operate on 121.5 mHz or 243 mHz will become paperweights after February 1, 2009. The search and rescue satellite aided tracking (SARSAT) satellites will not process those frequencies after that date. […]
Fishery managers are in the business of providing the best fishing opportunities that are compatible with the wise conservation of the aquatic resources. […]
Recently, I made a trip to one of my favorite fishing holes, Chotard/Albermarle. The fishing reports had been poor to moderate at best. […]
Kevin Coughran’s swan song is one that is often played out about the time the holiday-season deer hunting has ended and almost everyone is back at work. If that big buck is not already at the taxidermist by now, a great many deer hunters are starting to think recliners, football playoffs, warm fireplaces, even spring fishing and turkey hunting. […]
The debate is fully entrenched now. It crept in through the back door, but now it pops up all over the place. It certainly caught me off guard. In fact, I probably would never have seen the issue on the Mississippi deer hunting radar screen if a co-worker had not mentioned it to me. […]
“The colder the weather, the better the fishing gets” is the way professional angler Kent Driscoll describes the crappie fishing behind the dam at Ross Barnett Reservoir. […]
While that’s a nice bass anywhere in the state, it’s especially good for bitter January temperatures. […]
January duck hunting in the Magnolia State is quite a bit different than hunting early-season birds in December. Birds that have been pounded from Canada to the Gulf are quite wary, and hunting them at the tail-end of our duck season can be frustrating to say the least. […]
Quite often tactics used for deer hunting come around full circle over time. Just a mere 30 years ago, virtually no deer hunter had ever heard of a factory-manufactured lock-on tree stand, ladder stand or climber, much less seen or used one. A few hunters built elevated tree houses to hunt out of, some fabricated pallet platforms up in a tree, or others more likely just wedged a 2×6 board into the Y-juncture of two tree-trunk limbs. […]
Casey Edwards overcame some tough odds to arrow this monster buck in Lincoln County. […]
The Southern Shooting Center is located on Highway 3185 just outside of Thibodaux, La., and offers up to 300-yard rifle ranges and 30 cemented benches. […]
