As anglers, we are frequently faced with the decision to stay with the game plan or change to another. This is often amplified in the winter due to lethargic fish, less bait and unfavorable conditions. The first week of December, I took a day trip from Texas to Louisiana to target flounder and found myself with this dilemma.Editorial StaffJan 29th, 2024

Translated, that means it’s the longest fly-caught landlocked striper IGFA has on record.Editorial StaffJan 19th, 2024
