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. […]
October has become my favorite month of the year. Readers of this monthly column know that I prefer to fish in the fall, and for me, October is when the crappie action starts getting good. […]
I’ve heard they attack people. Any fish that grows to more than 7 feet and 150 pounds, has a tooth-lined snout big enough to grab and hold a grown man’s leg, and lurks in shallow backwaters is bound to generate some scary stories. […]
I would never say that I have the best equipment or the only equipment that catches crappie. I do, however, have some things that I know work and give me dependable service. […]
It’s summertime, folks, and the fish are biting. It’s prime time for hot-weather crappie fishing on North Mississippi’s big reservoirs. Great reports are coming to me from Sardis and Enid especially this summer. […]

The white bass — what many call “stripes” — is Mississippi’s unsung and untapped sportfish. They are abundant where they occur, grow to good size, blast the heck out of topwaters and crankbaits, and can be darn-good eating. […]
Phil King of Corinth, one of the nation’s leading catfishermen, has proved his prowess in national, regional and state catfishing tournaments, winning four National Catfish Derby Championships and the Bass Pro Shop Big Cat Quest on the Mississippi River. […]
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. […]
The first Delta lakes that come to mind when one thinks of great bream fishing are probably the oxbow lakes along the Mississippi River. Who can argue that Horn, Tunica, Flower and Beulah are world-class bream lakes? […]
