If I could pick only one place to fish in July, I’d fish the Tombigbee River on the Tenn-Tom Waterway and the Aliceville Pool. At this time of year, you really can catch quality bass off the old river ledges there with a Mann’s 15+ and a 20+ crankbait. My favorite colors are blue/chartreuse, black/chartreuse and Tennessee shad. […]
Just call me the “weatherman,” because like the weatherman, I can tell you what happened yesterday better than I can predict what may happen tomorrow. […]
I hate summer. It’s too hot and humid to do anything worthwhile outside, in my opinion. I don’t fish much, don’t have the patience for baseball, would rather hit my thumb with a hammer than work in the yard or a garden and the beach is for, well, terns and seagulls. […]
The long-ago-now sound of ATVs running in the deer woods has been replaced by outboard motors running on Mississippi lakes. […]
I’ll try anything to catch a crappie. I admit it. When it comes to crappie gear, I’m a crappie-a-holic. I mean, I’m the first and sometimes the only one I know to buy and try the latest gimmick that claims to catch crappie. […]
Like a spouse in a dysfunctional relationship, I find myself missing the abuse. After all, I had developed a really close relationship with the Ruger Super Redhawk over a four-day hunt for European boar and feral hogs at Caney Creek Lodge. […]
The Mississippi Legislature has officially been in session since last January. The story on the street since then has been rumors of the availability of additional money this year due mainly to high sales tax collections from Katrina rebuilding business. […]
Man, time flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?!? This spring has come and gone in a blur for me — just one crappie right after another, all season long. I hope you enjoyed the height of this year’s crappie spawn as much as I did. […]
The whole idea of spring cleaning is impractical in a climate where we can boat all year so it behooves us to knock down those electrical gremlins each time they stick their heads up. […]
It’s axiomatic that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
And that really applies to the magazine you’re now holding in your hands. […]
I wasn’t going to participate in the time-hallowed American tradition of “piling on.” I hadn’t heard about the controversy swirling around Outdoor Life’s Hunting Editor Jim Zumbo until it was brought to my attention by fellow outdoor writer and shooting enthusiast John Simeone from the Ft. Polk/Toledo Bend area. […]
“Are the crappie biting yet?” I hear that question over and over this time of the year.For a lot of crappie fishermen, April is the time — the only time — to head to their favorite fishing hole. […]
