	Non-lethal shocking boats important management tool 14 hours ago My first experience with an electro-fishing boat was over 25 years ago, and the memory of that day still haunts me.

	Shocking: Redear still bedding in May May 20 at 11:25 am Effects of this wacky spring weather continue to confound Mississippi fishermen, and this latest one may be the weirdest yet.

	Ponds pleased, disappointed with No. 3 finish May 06 at 9:45 am Three hours after matching his highest finish ever in a B.A.S.S. Elite Series event on Sunday (May 5), Pete Ponds was already in his camper in Alabama at the site of this week’s tournament.

	Post-spawn crappie, and on the double May 01 at 3:20 pm Little icons littered the bottom gray line of the depthfinder, an indication that a lot of fish were suspended just off the top of a hump adjacent to the creek channel of the 250-acre lake.

	Remembering a full moon in April with Big Joe April 29 at 9:29 am Friday was sort of an anniversary for me. The date itself, April 26, has absolutely nothing to do with it. It just happens to be the day on which the full moon falls this year in April.

	Nothing like being “spot on” on the spawn April 18 at 9:15 am Ron Garavelli and I had 10 crappie from two hours on our first fishing spot at Barnett Reservoir Tuesday (April 16), a mix of dark black males and fat female chunks. It wasn’t the bite we had expected, not after he and another partner had spanked them pretty good late the preceding afternoon.

	Pre-spawn fun on this dog of a frog April 05 at 12:00 pm SPLOOSH! With that one loud splash, a miserable morning on the water suddenly showed promise even though my plastic frog reappeared on the surface of the 200-acre lake. “Aw man, she missed it,” I hollered.

	Jensen’s gobbler ranks among Mississippi’s top 10 typicals March 27 at 9:00 am For every mature gobbler killed, with few exceptions, so many things have to go exactly right for the hunter, almost as if every star is in perfect alignment. On that, you will get no argument from Blake Jensen of Woodville, whose successful shooting of a record-book bird last week in Adams County overcame so many twists and turns.

	Primitive weapons: It’s past time to bid adieu March 21 at 1:20 pm We can argue over when the tradition of primitive weapon season died in Mississippi, but there is no disputing that it is dead.

	Gobblers need no help making us seem foolish March 16 at 7:07 am No. 1 thing to take away from the opening day of Mississippi’s 2013 spring turkey season: Always consider the significant change brought on by the switch to daylight savings time. It never dawned on me …

	Satisfaction: Helping pal get his biggest bass March 08 at 9:48 am Faced with a deadline to get a TV segment shot for that night, cameraman Wesley Harris and I couldn’t give in to the treacherous weather conditions Tuesday (March 5). We had to shoot; failure was not an option.

	Give the guy a break February 26 at 10:15 am Winning the Bassmaster Classic and the $500,000 prize plus any future riches that come with it may forever change Cliff Pace’s life. What it won’t do, apparently, is change Cliff Pace.
