I was at Pickwick Lake on the Mississippi/Alabama/Tennessee border helping with a weigh-in at a cancer benefit when one of the fishermen in that tournament called me over to his boat after the event ended. […]
This month, I’ll be catching monster spotted bass, largemouths and smallmouths. I’ll be catching all these bass in the same places, at the same time, using the same tactics and lures. […]
Ecosystems provide ecological services. Although the concept of ecological services has been recognized for a long time, lately I am hearing the term a lot. While ecological services may ring of something academic, one of the many services ecosystems perform is providing the fish and wildlife we enjoy as sportsmen. […]
Keeping up with developments in sonar, radar and GPS over the last few decades hasn’t been easy, and the evolution of marine electronics seems to be speeding up. […]

This month the smallmouths will start biting — particularly on topwater. I enjoy catching smallmouths at Pickwick Lake, which shares our border with Alabama and Tennessee. […]
