This month, I’ll be returning to 500-acre Calling Panther Lake, located in Crystal Springs. March is the best month of the year to fish Calling Panther, and in my opinion, Calling Panther is the best lake in the state to catch a big bass. […]
As I write this in early February, it’s spitting a combination of snow and sleet outside my office window. Although I’ve had a crappie-fishing buddy of mine call this morning to tell me he thinks I ought to be fishing today, I can’t seem to really get in the mood. Temperatures in the mid-20s and sleet tend to dampen my enthusiasm. […]
Two common misconceptions can have you wondering where your trolling motor’s battery power went. […]
March is a transition month on the Gulf Coast, and weather and water temperatures will have a direct effect on what type of fish you can catch during the beginning and at the end of the month. […]
The Magnolia State’s lakes and reservoirs offer some of the best crappie fishing in the country. Enjoyed by Mississippians for decades, the word about our high-quality crappie opportunities has spread, and now Mississippi is a prime destination for out-of-state anglers and crappie tournaments. […]
The rod tip bobbled ever so slightly. The guide barely spoke “wait.” The action was playing out faster than my brain could calculate it all. Then beyond the bobble, the tip jerked straight down as I flipped the cork grip upward in an automatic reaction. […]
Mark Tucker must have felt some sense of redemption.
After plying his fishing skills on the Elite Series for the past 10 years, he opted out of an 11th season at the 11th hour, choosing instead to give the Opens a try.
In a squeaker on Texas’ Lewisville Lake, Tucker found just enough weight to win his first B.A.S.S. victory. And for claiming the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open, he takes home $10,000, a Skeeter/Yamaha boat and motor package worth $25,000 and a berth in the 2012 Bassmaster Classic. […]
Despite less-than-ideal conditions, Mark Tucker of St. Louis topped his Day 1 catch that increased his lead and put him in position to win on Lewisville Lake.
After bringing 16 pounds, 10 ounces to the scales Friday, the former Elite Series angler topped it with 17-4 Friday. With a total of 33-14, Tucker holds a 3-14 lead in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open. […]
Mark Tucker’s decade on the Bassmaster Elite Series served him well Thursday, and the veteran angler discovered a way to put together 16 pounds, 10 ounces during the first 2011 stop of the Central Bassmaster Open on Texas’ Lake Lewisville.
With 159 boats, the 29,000-acre lake is fishing small, so Tucker had plenty of company on a day that saw rain showers and clearing with afternoon winds steady at 25 mph. […]
For those who knew what they were looking at and could appreciate it, this was a sight to behold. The scene took place on Ross Barnett Reservoir.
[…]
Current weather conditions: 22 degrees with bright bluebird skies, 10 to 15 mph winds on the second day after a cold front has passed through. […]
Old-timers may not like it, but progress is part of life. Heck, if my dad still had his way, he’d have me out in the fields harvesting and threshing grain stalks by hand.
