If you’re like me, boots can either be a godsend or a curse. I’ve had boots straight out of the box that never wear a blister, and I’ve also has the misfortune to spend all day in boots that rub your feet raw.
Cabela’s 8-inch Silent Stalk Sneaker, however, falls into the former category. I literally hunted all day in these boots straight out of the box and can honestly say they were as comfortable as my tennis shoes.

Danny Sykes was tired of having soggy baits, but he needed to rig his offshore trolling baits the night before to be ready for hot action when he went fishing off the North Carolina coast. That began his quest for a cooler insert that would protect baits from falling into the water from the melting ice, but not block the cold the baits needed to stay fresh. From this desire, the basics for Max Bait Trays were born. […]
Okatibbee Lake has garnered a reputation among many locals as The Big O, The Dead Sea and a few other less-desirable names, as it traditionally has been a tough place to catch bass. While the crappie population has thrived with thousands of limits of perch caught each year, catching bass has been a problem for all but the most-accomplished anglers.
But Mississippi State University Bass Club member Taylor Odom proved in May that the lake holds some beastly bass when he sank a hook into a lake-record fish — a 10-pounder that bested the old record by a solid pound. […]
Last week, I told you a story from the Mississippi River involving a rather large paddlefish, caught in the middle of its paddle with a tail-spinner artificial lure. […]

Who hasn’t mistaken the shadow of a water spot on an LCD screen for a fish, waypoint or radar target? Or was it a smear of sunscreen lotion or insect repellent left by a fingertip? Hopefully it wasn’t a permanent scratch, crack, craze or other scar.
And the growing popularity of touch screens in marine electronics is increasing the hand-screen contact problem. […]
Billy Reynolds remembers vividly his dad leading him by the hand through the doors at the Mississippi Trade Mart in Jackson. It was something they did each August of his youth, and it played a key role in opening his eyes to the world of outdoor sports.
“Dad’s way of kicking off the hunting season every year, and he knew it was the perfect way to spark a kid’s interest,” said Reynolds of Brandon, now a 28-year-old father. “Now, it’s time for me to do the same with my oldest son, Will, who is 4. I can’t wait to take him to the Extravaganza. It’s my time to pass it on.” […]
When limited by heat to only a few hours of quality fishing a day, the state lake system of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is an excellent choice. […]
Every fisherman remembers his or her biggest fish.
Everybody remembers their oddest fish. […]
Katrina Key, a fishing reef created after Hurricane Katrina, has been extended by several hundred yards by the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources’ Artificial Reef Bureau. […]
Even with the Mississippi River at near-record low stages, James Turner of Vicksburg was still confident that at least one of his favorite jetties would be productive. […]
In last month’s column we looked at some of the methods I typically use to convert my personal trail camera photo archives into meaningful and usable “deer statistics” or “intelligence.” […]
