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.Editorial StaffSep 4th, 2014
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.Editorial StaffSep 3rd, 2014

For sheer numbers of fish, autumn is the time to be on the water. Just as we know what time our favorite greasy spoon stops serving breakfast, our finned adversaries know forage will become scarce with the coming of winter.Editorial StaffSep 2nd, 2014
While the lure/sinker rig is great for getting deep and catching fish, you can’t cast it the way you “snap cast” a single lure. Instead of a snap cast with quick back-forward movement, you have to treat it like a bait rig.Editorial StaffAug 29th, 2014
I have guided fishing trips for trout, bass and carp since 1994 using both bait and artificial lures or flies. There is no doubt in my mind that by using bait there is a much higher risk of mortality on the fish compared to artificial fishing practices. For some species and fisheries, bait is necessary, but since 1997 I have upheld a personal commitment to guide strictly artificial after seeing the negative impacts on our precious sport fish. Living by example as a guide and angler will hopefully send a message to future anglers. Editorial StaffAug 28th, 2014
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
