Grouper, Grouper and More Grouper

Grouper are delicious, and the most commonly caught of the 163 known species are red, black, gag and scamp. The taste of a grouper is affected by its environment and what it feeds on. A shallow warm-water grouper does not taste as good as a deep cooler water grouper. Aug 6th, 2014

Commercial Turtle Poachers Busted

Four men have been charged in the alleged illegal capture and exchange of 2,100 pounds of live, wild-caught turtles. A Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission investigation was launched in March after the arrest of My Van Vo, 31, of Lakeland, who was caught on Lake Apopka near Orlando with 87 softshell turtles weighing in excess of 500 pounds. The subsequent investigation throughout Polk and Seminole counties netted two other men and an Okeechobee freshwater turtle farmer. Aug 5th, 2014

“On The Top” Summertime River Smallmouth Tactics

The late-summer months are an overlooked window to catch big smallmouth bass that have been lazily lying in the middle of the river after a long spawning season. The insect hatches and emergences that occur throughout the day including mayflies, damsel flies and my favorite, the cicada, spur feeding frenzies and create an excellent opportunity to throw topwater lures and flies.Aug 4th, 2014

The Art of Artificials… Dumber for Summer

Dummy lures. That’s the word my old bass-fishing partners use to describe a certain class of lures. These lures simply need to be reeled in steadily to be effective. I’ll give you a few that get eaten pretty good, freshwater or salt, all over the country when the water is warmest.Aug 2nd, 2014

Fly Fishing for Tarpon

Time can be broken down by saying, "Get the fly out in front of the tarpon as quickly as possible," but only after you have spotted the fish and know which direction, speed, and depth the fish is traveling.Jul 29th, 2014

Fish Food and Flies

Fly anglers are as attracted to their flies as fish are, and in some cases, can be even more attracted to them than the fish. There are a wide variety of flies available for anglers, and selecting from the array can be complicated. There are different colors, sizes, and materials. There are weighted flies and unweighted flies. So, what are the best flies? The simple answer is: it depends.

Spring Striped Bass Run the Hudson River

New York’s Hudson River could hardly be considered pristine on its lower end. That doesn’t seem to bother the striped bass.

Bucket List: Bow River Bullets

Without a doubt, Alberta, Canada’s Bow River is a world-class trout fishery. Glacier-fed and flowing more than 350 miles from the Canadian Rockies through the foothills and prairies of Alberta, it is big and scenic by the time it reaches the 50-mile section southeast of Calgary that author Jim McLennan called “the Blue Ribbon Bow.” It is here in this blue ribbon stretch that anglers flock to get in on some of the best brown and rainbow trout fishing in the world.
