 It’s All In The Approach

You’ve spent a lot of money on your gear and your boat, not to mention the time and money it took to put this trip together. You’ve taken the time to research, read articles, books, even buy DVDs. And here’s the deal, if you don’t plan your approach, it all goes out the window.
Alabama Rig

Tips For Fishing The Alabama Rig

These days I can’t think of any topic I get more questions about than Alabama rigs. In case anyone is still not familiar with A-rigs, they are devices that allow an angler to throw multiple lures with a single cast.

Tips For Maximum Utilization Of Side Imaging Technology

In a recent article appearing in Coastal Angler/The Angler magazines, we explored tips on Side Imaging and how it helps identify which side of the boat bait and fish might be on. While this is self-evident, there are always those that are skeptical. Even anglers who have purchased the technology rarely employ it like they could or should.

How Important Are Rod And Reel Weight

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?

Fly of the Month: Garner’s Yeyo Minnow

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.
Seatrout

More Than The Catch- Cold Weather and Spotted Seatrout

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.

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.
Mahi

Cannibalistic Mahi-Mahi

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.
