It’s never too early to plan ahead for fall wildlife food plots. It may be hot as a firecracker outside with sweltering humidity to match, but the universal targeted Labor Day planting date is fast approaching. […]
Pickwick Lake on the Tennessee River, located in the corner of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, is making a comeback this year. The grass is growing in the lake, and the largemouth are responding to the additional habitat. The fishing has been really good there this year. […]
I just had one of the best crappie-fishing experiences ever, and I’d like to tell you about it. The Magnolia Crappie Club held the Magnolia State Crappie Championship on beautiful Wolf Lake recently. This was one of the best tournaments in the 16-year history of the state’s largest crappie club. […]
If you are a firearms enthusiast, by now you have heard of the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States on June 26 in the Heller case. […]
GPS units navigate by satellites that circle the earth twice a day at an altitude of almost 11,000 miles, yet the system can take you back to within a boat length of a location you saved in memory. Thinking about that makes my head hurt, so like most other fishermen, I prefer to just take the system for granted. […]
Fishing has heated up this month off Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Although snapper season will close in August, anglers still can catch plenty of fish in deep water. […]
Last month I “trashed” water hyacinths with insults like “the purple plague” and “one of the worst things that could happen to a fishery.” […]
For more than 50 years, Bobby Williams has charter-fished out of Biloxi. Williams has three sons, which led him to dub his fourth charterboat Three Sons IV. He’s fished before and after storms in good and bad conditions. […]
As the weather warms up, I look for lakes with deep structure where big bass can hold and feed. My pick this month is 1,000-acre Lake Okhissa in Franklin County near Bude, one of the newest lakes in the state. […]
As an angler and a fisheries biologist, I’m a big fan of aquatic vegetation. Our waters, particularly southern reservoirs, need more vegetation. […]
Hot enough for you? Man, I’m burning up. The older I get, the less tolerant I am of our typical, tropical summers. O.K., I admit it: The air conditioning and soft living have turned me into a woos. […]
The recent revolution over the so-called “black rifles” is an interesting anomaly to me. More than 20 years ago, I peddled an article to several hunting magazines on the idea of using modern military style rifles for hunting. These were not the surplus 98 Mausers, 03 Springfields or British Lee-Enfield 303 type rifles that the post-WWII hunters used for years, but the next generation of AR-type firearms like the AR-15 (not M-16), FN-FALs and HK-91s.
