According to Mark Twain, “Most people use statistics the way a drunk uses a lamp post, more for support than illumination.” […]
Seems impossible to me, but by the time you read this, the major annual crappie spawn for all of Mississippi will be, for all practical purposes, over. April is the one month where everyone and his brother hits their favorite crappie lake — all at the same time. […]
There are so many innovative handguns hitting the retail shelves these days, it’s hard to stay ahead of the curve when you’re a gun writer.

This month, I expect to know where the bass are concentrated and to catch them fairly easily.

The next best thing to live bait is the very best fake bait. For spring fishing, when most lake water at depth is still cool to cold, live bait is hard to beat for realistic look and action.

“These are excellent early season conditions for tuna, dolphin, wahoo and marlin.” […]
The Harrison County port resort city of Biloxi is well known for its casinos, Beauvoir, and for being the setting for a number of John Gresham novels. What is not as well known about the city is that it is in the heart of the “Fertile Fisheries Crescent” of the northern Gulf of Mexico and that from more than a half dozen prime spots, a saltwater angler can stand on shore and capture any number of prime game fish without ever getting their feet wet.

“Do you want your daughter to be buried at Arlington or in the cemetery in your home town?” military personnel asked Leslie Smith’s parents as they stood by their ailing child’s side. The doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center had just told them that their daughter would be dead by morning and that they should go ahead and make arrangements for her funeral. […]
As they met backstage this afternoon (April 17), Dean Rojas and Gerald Swindle shook hands, then gave each other a man hug. Both smiled graciously, both teared up a little. […]
