I spend a lot of time perusing social media, reading Facebook posts, blogs and fishing reports to learn new things that will make me a better trout fisherman.
One thing I’ve noticed is that Jackson County doesn’t get a lot of mention. […]
I love catching speckled trout, and my goal since starting this quest five years ago has been to learn everything I possibly could.
I’ve heard lots of dock talk, lots of lies and lots of advice that amounts to nothing. I’ve also heard — and seen — living proof of what really works and why. […]
“How’s the snapper?” I asked.
“It’s OK, but it could use some garlic,” Uncle Topper replied. […]
Capt. Charlie Bush and I were set up on the inside edge of a grass point, catching trout sporadically while waiting on the tide to turn. […]
I love December. I love Christmas music, Christmas trees, Christmas presents, Christmas cookies, the movies Elf and A Christmas Story, cool temps and the fact that trout are stacked up in deep bayous no more than a long cast wide. […]

I’ve been fired from two jobs in my life. One firing came in 1985 because my fear of heights prevented me from working derricks when the derrick hand got injured. […]
The west winds the last several weeks have been brutal, creating a cabin fever-like sickness only a Gulf coast resident could understand. […]
Live bait can make a world of difference during the summer. The favored option for coastal anglers is live shrimp under a cork or on a Carolina rig. […]
Warm weather has officially arrived, and everyone with any manner of watercraft is on the water. My wife equated a boat ride this time of year to driving on steroids because you have to keep a 360-degree watch for oncoming traffic. […]
Flounder swim along our shores and are ready for the taking, if you’re willing to go after them. That’s why you should try flounder gigging with the family. […]
