The learning curve has been slashed
Thirty years ago, a state-of-the-art fish finder had a round turntable with a light bulb mounted on its edge spinning behind a clear circular window.

Four baits for Bay Springs bass
I love those big spotted bass at Bay Springs Lake, located near Booneville in Tishomingo County on the Tombigbee Waterway.

Sardis is moving, shaking in October
This month, I’ll be fishing Sardis Reservoir. The lake’s been on a downturn for several years, as far as the size and the numbers of bass.
