Vision Prop Limited Edition Buzz Bait
Leave it to someone with great vision for designing artificial lures to put a “boat prop-style” blade on a buzz bait that consistently catches bass coast to coast. […]

Crappie fishermen at one of Mississippi’s best perch-jerking holes would be able to take home a higher percentage of the crappie they catch, but they won’t be able to take home as many each day under a regulation change proposed last week by state wildlife officials.
The size limit at Sardis Reservoir will drop from a 12-inch minimum to a 10-inch minimum, but the daily limit will be reduced from 20 per person per day to 15 per person. The boat limit, with three or more anglers, will fall from 50 per day to 40 per day. […]
When he caught a 17.34-pound bass Jan. 4 at Davis Lake, Jeff Foster did more than simply post the second-largest largemouth ever reported in Mississippi. He showed conclusively that Anthony Denny’s state record of 18.15 pounds is vulnerable.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt about that whatsoever,” said Ron Garavelli, the chief of fisheries for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. “That fish right there could have — no, make that would have — broken the record had it been caught a couple of months later when it was full of eggs.
“We’re only talking about .8 of a pound difference between 17.34 and 18.15, so yeah, fully loaded with eggs it would have been the record.” […]
When I pick a place to fish, it’s because I know where the bass in that lake will be holding at this time of the year, and the lures and techniques that will make them bite. […]
Jeff Foster knows that a wintertime bass trip to Davis Lake means hoping to get a bite or two. […]
December marks the beginning of my favorite time to be bass fishing. No, I don’t like the challenge of being so cold it hurts, being stuffed into so many layers of clothing that it’s hard to move or the thrill of falling into 45-degree water. […]
Working the dam at Calling Panther Lake near Crystal Springs, I kept the boat parallel to the riprap and launched the long, thin Pro Pointer 100 jerkbait as close to the rocks as I could.
With three quick jerks of the rod tip, I put the lure to work.
And, then, I stopped and let the bait’s suspending characteristics do the work. […]
Early deer season is often a struggle in South Mississippi, where warm temperatures and inactive bucks and does can make even the most devout hunters think about… […]
During November, we’ll be fishing 500-acre Maynor Creek, located just outside of Waynesboro, where numbers of big bass live. […]
My fishing partners and my loyal readers all know that I am an avid striped bass and hybrid striped bass chaser on Ross Barnett Reservoir. […]
We weren’t even on Barnett Reservoir to fish Tuesday (Oct. 23), just riding around the upper river backwaters to look at the effects of recent aquatic vegetation spraying efforts. […]
Restocked about four years ago, Bogue Homa Lake is really producing a lot of bass, with a few weighing 5 to 7 pounds. Bogue Homa is about 1,000 acres with plenty of grass, lily pads and cypress trees, as well as well-defined creek channels with stumps sitting in them. […]
