My old red reel and glass rod that I started out bass fishing with nearly 40 years ago were not exactly light, nor were they as sensitive as today’s precision-made reels and rods. I did catch a lot of bass with that rod fishing after school in nearby farm ponds. Fast-forward to present, and today there are stock rods available at your local independent tackle shop that weigh mere ounces in total compared to my first rig. But how important is shaving all that weight?Editorial StaffJan 23rd, 2015
Winter has arrived and so begins my favorite time of year to be out chasing trout on rivers and streams. Cold nights and brisk days drop water temperatures.Garner ReidJan 22nd, 2015
Weather, especially cold weather, can have a significant impact on our fisheries here in South Carolina, and few species are as vulnerable as spotted seatrout. It’s important for anglers to be aware of how environmental factors influence species abundance, and how they, as anglers, can sometimes offset the negative effects caused by natural events.Editorial StaffJan 21st, 2015
There’s a reason some anglers consider winter the season for fly-tying, not fishing. For me though, it’s the season I get to fish the most, while the rest of the year is spent doing more guiding and rowing. As it is, figuring out finnicky trout can be maddening. Add uncomfortable cold winter conditions to that equation, and it’s enough to send some anglers back to the tying bench.Editorial StaffJan 20th, 2015
Larger predators sometimes steal your catch, but mahi-mahi don’t usually end up on the winning end of the scenario. Coastal Angler reader Kent McNeal, who generally fishes out of the Boynton Inlet on south Florida’s Atlantic Coast, has a story to tell. He and a buddy were fishing a weed line when they got onto the kind of small dolphinfish often referred to as peanuts.Editorial StaffJan 20th, 2015
Cast after cast, and no fish. Invariably anglers look at each other and say what they’re thinking, “No fish here, let’s move.” One of the most misunderstood aspects of bass fishing is the size of the strike zone. Natural influences play a large part in the positioning of bass and their range of movement to eat. There exists a popular misconception that bass will move a great distance to “attack” a moving target.Editorial StaffJan 18th, 2015

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
