Beat Of The Old Drum In North Carolina

Hearing the sound of a large old male drum drumming is one of the most intriguing and magnificent fishing experiences anglers can hope to enjoy. Only male drum make this drumming sound, and the theory is they create this sound during spawning to attract females. The sound is created by the rapid contraction of muscles near the male drum’s swim bladder.

Here’s What’s Biting On Outer Banks Piers

Want to catch some fish or maybe fill a cooler without the hassle or expense of a boat? The answer to your dilemma is pier fishing, especially on the Outer Banks, which boast some of the best fishing piers in the region.

Finding The Magic Transition Area For Early Season Bucks

The dog days of summer are behind us, and we’re already experiencing a few cooler days with lower humidity. This makes my mind start to wander in one direction, and that is 20 feet up a tree in a lock-on waiting on a deer to come within bow range.

I’m Ron, and I’m all about fishing.

At four in the morning it’s nearly always quiet. Waves move boats slightly up then down, and wet ropes make low popping sounds. The warm salt air carries the smells of the day, fuel and fish. We load the boat under the harbor lights; live bait, frozen bait, coolers full of drinks and food for a long day. Smiles are everywhere, this day is all about fishing for red snappers and cobia. For readers new to fishing the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, I can sum up our lifestyle real easy, “This is as good as it gets.”

The Snapper Chronicles, episode two- Only Congress can fix this mess

As the situation with the recreational red snapper season has become ever more dire, there has been an increasing outcry targeting the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council as architects of the chaos. And while there can be some justified blame on both, they have had little ability to effect a positive change.

Win Prizes For Releasing Huge Bass

The state recently launched a new website to better facilitate its TrophyCatch largemouth bass conservation program. The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) program is an incentive-based conservation program designed for anglers who catch and release largemouths heavier than 8 pounds in Florida. There are three different tiers and two bonus categories offering the opportunity to win prizes.

Tailing Fall Redfish

Nope, it’s not the time to put the boat away, it’s time to get serious. It’s the best time of year, not only for numbers of redfish but for size as well.

Giving Back: Heroes on the Water

Giving back takes many forms, especially when it involves our soldiers and returning warriors. In so many ways these guys and gals paid it forward for us to have the freedoms we now have. Founded in 2007, Heroes on the Water gives back to those who paid it forward by engaging our returning warriors in kayak fishing across the nation in both fresh and saltwater.
