Collins and February Shad

I don’t know about you but for me at least, the first three weeks in February is our winter here in the lowcountry. Maybe it will be different this year but if history repeats itself, February usually means the coldest water temperatures of the year and cloudy gray days.

Sight Fishing South Carolina Redfish

Since tides can get as high as 7 ft, we are presented with options for sight fishing. No matter how you approach it, sight fishing for big reds is awesome.
White Perch

White Perch On New Hampshire’s Winnipesaukee

New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee is a large glacial lake at 45,440 acres with a maximum depth of 200 feet. This uniquely clear lake has a large center section called the Broads and a series of bays that stretch for miles in all directions, creating 183 miles of continuous shoreline. The lake is home to celebrities, politicians and professional athletes. It is also home to some of the largest white perch in North America, and a lot of them.
Trout

Throw Them Some Meat This Winter

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.

Wintertime Crappie On Lake Lanier

I’m up before sunrise enjoying a hot mug of coffee, bundled up for the cold. I’m at Clarks Bridge boat ramp on north Georgia’s Lake Lanier, getting set for some crappie fishing. Today I’m joined by Bob and Brenda Rice, publishers of Atlanta/North Georgia edition of The Angler Magazine, North Georgia Crappie Angler’s Club President Woodie Malone and club member Ron Cobley. These guys love crappie and know all the best spots to catch these plentiful and tasty panfish.
