It was my best fishing day ever. Actually, it was my best fishing week ever. The second week of October in 1979, my father and I, along with three friends, caught more than 1,000 flounder from the surf of Cape Hatteras, N.C. We were using two-hook bottom rigs with strips of flounder for bait.Editorial StaffFeb 28th, 2015
Since early childhood in the 1970s, I’ve attended West Palm Beach Fishing Club events. Each time I walked into the club house, I couldn’t help but stare at the two giant bluefin mounted on the walls, and think how grossly unfair it is that anglers my generation and younger would probably never get a reasonable chance at catching such a majestic fish.Editorial StaffFeb 27th, 2015
A lot of anglers think fishing for flounder is a fall-only event. A little less known is the fact that flounder begin moving back into bays and estuaries in the spring as early as February. That’s right, if you didn’t get your full-flung flatfish fix, you may already be wasting time.Editorial StaffFeb 26th, 2015
Fishing alone can raise some interesting dilemmas. Without an extra hand, landing a fish is just one of the difficulties solo anglers may face. Landing a triple hookup… that’s a whole different ballgame.Editorial StaffFeb 24th, 2015
If you’re having trouble catching big bass in the cold a remedy may be closer than you think.

One of the key advantages of spearfishing is its selectivity, as it allows fishers to target specific species without by-catch, making it an environmentally friendly option. However, it requires skill, precision, and knowledge of the underwater environment to be successful
Want a better shot at catching those summer trout in shallow water? Once summer is in full swing, I always find myself chasing trout that are ambushing prey from grass beds in shallow water. One problem I struggle with is finding the right bait for when that topwater bite turns off.
Typically coming in under 30 pounds, it is easy to transport, it’s quiet and super stealthy, and with a standing view it makes for a fantastic platform.
Recently, I was enjoying a quiet morning on the boat, all by myself, catching several fish in a remote place on the lower end of the Apalachicola River.

Tec diving is obstacle-ridden and humbling, but can reignite a fading passion. It can leave you with a sense of accomplishment and a refined set of diving skills. It grants access to depths beyond recreational limits, where lesser-known shipwrecks and deep reefs lie, waiting to be explored.Editorial StaffMay 16th, 2022
