Deer Hunting and Fishing Pressure

I just got back into deer hunting this season. Where I hunt on public land, the deer become wise very quickly after the season opener. It’s really not much different than some summer fishing scenarios. With all the boat activity, redfish and big trout can become very hard to catch in heavily fished areas.

Low Tides and Smoking Action

If you’re on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi this December, take some time and see what breathtaking adventures we can offer you. This time of year the air is cool, but not cold. Shrimp and baitfish have moved into the bays and bayous, and fishing is good. Pick up the phone and call one of our charter boat captains, and let a fishing adventure begin. Life is infinitely better with the spice in it.

Travel With the Rutting Bucks

For many deer hunters around the Southeast, the rut and the peak of daytime deer movement is over. For most hunters in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas, it’s time to come out of the woods and concentrate on family.

It’s all about the bite!

In the same way a song can get stuck in your head, there are memories associated with fishing that as anglers we never forget. The reasons people enjoy fishing are as varied as the different techniques they use to catch various species. But if you had to narrow it down to the memory of just one moment that keeps someone coming back for more, it has to be the instant when a fish hits.

Food Plots And Late Does Equal December Success

For most of us, the peak of rut has come and gone, the bare trees help a deafening silence fall over the woods, and your wife is dropping hints about that perfect Christmas gift. It’s December, one of my favorite times to hit the woods in search of ol’ mossy horns.

When temperatures get colder, one of my favorite baits for bass is a swimbait. I categorize them in three types: hard body, soft hollow body and finesse.

Game Calling Should Be In Your Arsenal

It was 28 years ago this November when I first experienced mallards settling into decoys. They were poorly converted styrofoam planters purchased at the local flea market on an 18-year-old’s budget. I went several times that season and never cut a feather.

Goliath Grouper: Return of the Gentle Giants

While our reefs are home to a few “resident” goliath grouper that are spotted consistently throughout the year, one by one more and more of these fish begin arriving as summer starts to fade away into fall. Goliaths begin arriving as early as July, and are only here for a short period of time, often leaving as the last days of September tick away.
