Mouse It’s What’s For Dinner
For those looking to take fly fishing for trout to a whole new level, consider mousing. Mousing refers to fishing for trout with large topwater patterns meant to mimic small rodents. It is a tactic best utilized at night, when nocturnal rodents forage.
Classic Surf Pompano Rigs
I prefer pompano rigs with two hooks and a 1- to 3-ounce pyramid sinker as the anchor. Pyramid sinkers dig deeper into the sand than bell or barrel types and should be just heavy enough to prevent your rig from walking back to shore. Keep a few different weights at your disposal and adjust accordingly.

May was a big month for big Chesapeake Channa (northern snakehead) catches. Anglers submitted over 60 trophy-sized Channa—measuring 30 inches or longer—for FishMaryland invasive species awards.
Mota’s Record-Breaking Blue Peacock
On August 15, 2024, Murilo Soares Mota made history while fishing in Brazil’s Tres Marias Lake, landing a stunning 24.803 inch blue peacock bass. With this impressive catch, Mota set the IGFA All-Tackle Length World Record for the species. The record-setting fish struck while Mota was casting a lure, and after a successful fight, he measured it using an official IGFA Measuring Device before safely releasing it back into the water.
Topwater Madness
In bodies of water lacking a lot of structure, using topwater baits like small poppers that mimic small baitfish can be a very successful tactic.
Huge Black Crappie Caught In Illinois
On March 28, Kinkaid Lake in Murphysboro, Ill. produced a more than 4 ½-pound crappie that should narrowly eclipse the existing 41-year-old state record
Night Snorkel in a Crystal Clear Florida River
After a big rainstorm, my friend Nick and I set out to explore one of Florida's spring-fed rivers at night. The weather ended up being fantastic, and we saw an amazing array of wildlife and aquatic plants. It's always refreshing to see some of Florida's springs still lush with submerged aquatic vegetation as groundwater contamination from agricultural runoff threatens many of them with nitrogen pollution (which in turn leads to algae blooms and the springs looking murky and gross). But so far this system has proven resilient and is in relatively good health. Hope you enjoy coming along for the ride!
