Tired of dodging old crab traps when you venture onto coastal waters? Then you can help remove these obstacles during Mississippi’s Derelict Crab Trap Roundup scheduled for Feb. 21-23.
The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory is organizing the volunteer cleanup effort. […]
In February, you can catch some really big largemouths and smallmouths on Pickwick Lake in the northeastern corner of the state. Toward the end of the month, the bass will start staging to move into the creeks and up on the flats for the spawn. […]
Finding speckled trout and redfish in the marshes and bayous is a gamble in February because those areas are affected by the weather and wind. […]

Plano has introduced the Flex ‘N Go Tackle Satchel for the angler on the go. This adaptable system allows fishermen to be prepared for largemouth bass today, striperd bass tomorrow and even your favorite saltwater species for the weekend. […]
When Tony Holeman was describing the plan for our mid-morning rabbit hunt on a cold and windy Mississippi Delta ditch bank, it sounded good and actually made sense. […]
If there’s a root strategy about tackling the abundant outdoor opportunities of the Mississippi Delta, it is this: Keep your options open! Tony Holeman, an avid waterfowl and rabbit hunter from Pisgah, used that mantra to produce a memorable weekend hunt near his duck lease in Humphreys County. […]
So even after four months of open seasons on white-tailed deer you still haven’t had enough? You started bow hunting the first of October and wrapped up final seasons in January for the Delta and Hill zones with the last primitive weapons, archery and crossbow seasons. […]
This month, I’m picking Lake Ross Barnett, near Jackson. To find the bass, we’ve got to shrink the lake and concentrate on where they’re most likely to be and the lures they’re most likely to take. […]
Trolling over a submerged stump field, Jeff Collum pitched his jig-and-pig combo to a likely looking spot, and hesitated for just a second when a bass struck. Collum reared back, and drove the steel home, deep into the lip of a cold-weather lunker.
After a nip-and-tuck battle, the talented angler landed the lunker bass and quickly released him.
Collum, a Meridian resident, has been catching bass and lots of them since he was just a youngster tagging along with his dad Gordon Collum. The Collums are well known around the East Mississippi area for their bass-fishing expertise. Jeff has taken it a step further and become one of the anglers to beat in almost any tournament in which he competes. […]
Fishing for catfish in the winter on the Mississippi River? OK, nobody in their right minds would go after trophy-class record-book blue catfish on the Mississippi River, especially in the winter.

Well, you obviously have not been introduced to Bob Crosby of Madison and his catfishing buddy Bill Conlee of Pocahontas. And we’re not just talking about catching big catfish here either. These guys want the state-record catfish in the boat and in the record book. That’s a tall order indeed.
Ross Barnett is my bass-fishing pick for February, and we’ll fish this lake with baits we can bang against rocks, lily-pad stems and vegetation. […]
