Anglers are notorious for jumping the gun. Just as soon as Jack Frost quits nipping at their noses, they hook up their boats and hit the lakes. For too many, though, they find that the fishing doesn’t match the forecast. […]
Bernard Williams and Don Terry finished second in the 2009-10 Magnolia Crappie Club championship. And to hear them tell it, they felt a little bit like they used to feel when their mommas made them go get their own switches for their butt whippings. […]
I knew what I was looking at across the rippled surface of Lake Washington, but the combination of watery eyes and wafting snow had me at least partially convinced that Bo Hudson and Brad Chapel were something other than two crappie anglers working to catch a limit of fish. […]
While talking with Magnolia Crappie Club tournament director Hugh Krutz recently, he told me that crappie never really stop biting at any time during the year. […]
It doesn’t matter how good you can call. It doesn’t matter how pretty your decoys are. It doesn’t matter how well your blind is brushed. […]
After giving up on trying to catch deep crappie in hot water and even hotter air this past summer, many North Mississippi crappie anglers await October with the anticipation of a real Republican running in the 2010 elections. […]
Although Sept. 22 is listed on the 2009 calendar as the official first day of autumn, cool weather is still a long way from making its first appearance in South Mississippi. […]
About five minutes into our run, I thanked Tommy Barrett for launching at Pass Christian rather than Gulfport. Rather than running due south to get to our destination, we were running southeast, which meant we had a front-row seat for one of the most spectacular sunrises I had ever seen. […]
Members of the Magnolia Crappie Club have dubbed 2009 “The Year of the Big Crappie” at Ross Barnett Reservoir in Jackson. The “Rez” isn’t historically known for big crappie, but there have been more 3-pounders caught this year than tournament director Hugh Krutz can remember in his 13 years of fishing Barnett. […]
Just a hop, skip and jump from South Mississippi’s Bayou Caddy is one of the most celebrated saltwater fisheries along the entire Gulf Coast. […]
When quite a few 25-pound-plus stringers were weighed in by bass club anglers last year at Enid Lake, it invariably raised questions in the minds of state fisheries biologists. […]
Bass anglers are never satisfied with the lures that reside in their tackle boxes. In an effort to gain the upper hand over everybody else on the lake, they become amateur cosmetic surgeons who shave, clip and snip legs, arms and lips. […]
