Boaters: Do Not Let July 4th Be Your Undoing
A long day on the water exposed to the elements combined with crowded waterways and alcohol consumption could be a recreational boater’s ultimate undoing this July 4th holiday weekend.
Drift Smarter to Catch More Fish
Outside the charter fleet, where rigid schedules and the need to catch on command force captains to lean on high-percentage methods, you won’t find many anglers singing the praises of wire-line or downrigger slow-trolling.
Boat Jobs
If you’ve done a boat job, no matter what it is, you know the ugly truth. They NEVER go the way you expect them to.
Getting Nowhere Fast
There comes a time when you just have to stay put, especially if you’re trying to put a hurt on a boat full of walleyes, work a bedded bass, or maybe keep chucking a bait at a monster musky.
No Time for Downtime
There is no fun to be had when equipment malfunctions or breaks down, especially when you’re trying to spend some quality time on your favorite body of water.
Line Up to Fish
It's time. Time to go fishing! The weather says "yes" and you say, "Let’s go"! Grab the rods and head to the water.

Gator Specks of Rollover
Just landing and releasing two nice speckled trout made my early morning fishing a plus factor with adrenalin rushes. On flipping out another cast and retrieve my awake was jolted with a sudden and violent "TIC" !! The explosion of water that followed showed a shaking head of a fish in the middle of the tidal splash.
Whiting - Kings of the Surf
Fishing reports advised the whiting were biting in the surf along Rollover’s beachfront, and with nothing much happening anywhere else, a trip was quickly planned for some hopefully active surf fishing action that would put a few whiting on the fish fry menu.
The Birds of Autumn
Piercing bird cries and splashing alerted me to the melee! One minute I was casting sea-grass looking for a bite and the next I was at full throttle looking for a fight!
Make it a September to Remember
September is a transition month, when summer temperatures finally begin to give way to the coolness of fall. This break from the sauna sounds like great news, but it's a time when many bass fishing anglers struggle.

Angler Recognition Programs Enhance Pleasure
Anglers of all ages enjoy showing off their catch and recalling the memories. In fact, that’s pretty much been the case for all historical "ages" as well. For instance, Chinese anglers used bamboo rods, reels and silk lines in 3,000 B.C., and one can imagine their pride in a big catch.
Poppin Cork Magic
EARLY is always better, especially when fishing in the summer months. I’ve just arrived at one of my favorite fishing spots on East Galveston Bay, where the salt-grass is alive with the mornings activity of bait-fish fleeing the maws of hungry fish.
April Fishing Looking Great
Lake levels are almost back to normal and fishing is great. Lake Palestine is now only about 4 to 5 inches low and the surface temps are in the mid 60’s with the spring spawn up and running.

Think Your Fishing Season Is Over Just Because It’s Winter? No way!
Some parts of the country have already stopped reading. That’s because there are some regions throughout the United States that have legitimate, all-season weather for fishing. Sure, they may have to struggle through a 48-degree evening once in a while, but they know they sun will come out tomorrow and the fish will get active again, looking for their next meal.
The Secrets of Tidal Fishing
if you live (and fish) near the coast, you always have to be aware of (and plan around) the ebb and flow of tides. And what can make your fishing expedition even more challenging is that tides don’t just make the water go up and down, they actually change the feeding habits of the fish and, more importantly, the areas where you’ll find them.
Work the Birds
Some of this seasons most exciting fishing action is about to happen on the Galveston Bay System, especially on East Bay, near Rollover Pass. In fact, it’s happening right now as of this writing. It’s called "working the birds!"

Stepping into warm waters of the Texas Gulf coast, the novice wade-angler stepped towards a likely fishing spot, but before he could make his first cast, a deep, jabbing sting struck like lightning causing him to double over in excruciating pain!
Going Through the Change - Boating Change
Things have changed over the years and definitely for the better, at least when it comes to today’s modern fishing boats and motors. They ride better, have more effective floor plans, and are definitely more comfortable to fish out of.

Florida is not only the Fishing Capital of the World, but it is right up there when it comes to the variety of exotic fishes anglers may pursue.

Sheepshead Finder: Catching Sheepshead
Archosargus Probatocephalus, or Sheepshead, are often mistaken for black drum due to their similarity and lack of fish knowledge by anglers. To be sure of what you have just check out the teeth.
Hot Weather Fish Finding Technique
I’ve been on vacation and not fishing for the past week. When I got back, though, I heard an interesting story I’m going to pass along. It may help us with this heat were facing.
Fishing May's Post Spawn
In the spring time we have three portions of the spawn and they are, pre-spawn, spawn and post spawn. Pre-spawn is when the fish are getting ready to begin the spawn which will normally take place in the later part of February.
