This is time of year I live for. You see, I’ve been watching this beautiful cycle happen with grouper for almost four decades now.

Alex on the Harvester delivered the goods for this Oklahoma angler in the form of a 190-pound yellowfin tuna.Editorial StaffSep 30th, 2022
I’ve fished the Shinnecock Inlet in Hampton Bays, NY for many years and have usually found plenty of striped bass and bluefish there to keep me occupied. One afternoon last September, I pulled into the parking lot on the inlet’s west side, took a look at the water and smiled as I saw a large school of bait flashing on the surface. Something, or a lot of somethings were feeding on them.Editorial StaffSep 27th, 2022
In 1983, we started the first pontoon charter offering family fishing on central Florida’s Ocklawaha River. By then, catching a striper was rare.

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
