Electronic upgrades are easier than ever
Detailed instructions guiding you through the simple process of updating the software in your fish finder or GPS unit can be found in your owner's manual or on the manufacturer's web site. Computerizing fish finders and other marine electronics has been a good news/bad news proposition.

Is anything not biting this month?
Fishing for Spanish mackerel is popular and productive off the coast in July. Capt. Timmy Holley of Prime Tyme Charters based at the Biloxi Small Craft Harbor fishes outside the barrier islands for Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, redfish and cobia and offshore for snapper.

Blacks, whites welcome on my boats
Both of these fish are white crappie, but male white crappie, second picture, can sometimes be confused with black crappie. Do you know the difference between a white crappie and a black crappie? Lots of folks don’t. During the spawn, the male white crappie turns black, and is often confused with his double-first cousin, the black crappie.

Hunt for July bass at Calling Panther
Calling Panther has some of the prettiest bass you'll ever see, and Paul Elias always expects to catch a 5-pound-plus largemouth when he fishes there. This month we’re going to 512-acre Calling Panther Lake near Crystal Springs because that’s where the big bass are in July in the deep water. The record for bass there is a little more than 13 pounds.

Underrated ‘stripes’ plentiful here
White bass are plentiful and tasty, but they’re not commonly fished for here in Mississippi. The white bass — what many call “stripes” — is Mississippi’s unsung and untapped sportfish. They are abundant where they occur, grow to good size, blast the heck out of topwaters and crankbaits, and can be darn-good eating.

Oxbows hold hot June bass action
Britton Baker of Waynesborough likes to fish Chotard in June, because she can catch bass and work on her tan before starting back to college in the fall. This month I’ll be fishing Chotard Lake, an oxbow off the Mississippi River north of Vicksburg near Redwood. Because of all the rain we’ve had this year, Chotard should have good water levels. Not only does Chotard hold a good population of bass, the two sister lakes on the sides of Chotard — Albemarle and Tennessee — also will yield plenty of nice-sized bass, if the water level is high enough to reach them.

Options abound in productive June
On the offshore reefs, wrecks and rigs, fishermen will be bringing up delicious red snapper. June presents many opportunities for Mississippi’s coastal fishermen, according to Capt. Kenny Barhanovich.

Has-beens can be downright innovative
This is some good old stuff. The author's favorite crappie-catching combination is Riverside Real Craw and soft-plastic baby crawdads. It’s funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same. I pride myself on trying new fishing techniques, new lures, new poles, new line, etc. I’ll often be one of the first to buy the latest, greatest thing.
