Shrimp Boat By-Catch Mean Fish
2 Sep 2010 at 1:08am
They are there almost every morning that I head offshore. They anchor up just after dawn and begin cleaning their decks and holds of by-catch and trash fish. "They" are the shrimp boats that spend the night dragging their nets for pink gold. By night they work the nets, and by day they rest and clean.
Deep Jigging
31 Aug 2010 at 1:00am
One of my favorite ways to fish is with a jig - a big jig - in deep water. We call it deep jigging.
In water from 100 to 200 feet deep we drop eight to ten ounce jigs to the bottom with a strip bait and then we hold on. ...Read Full Post
Trolling for Grouper
29 Aug 2010 at 1:31am
The Southeastern United States provide the best grouper fishing in the world, and they can be taken by any number of means. From gag grouper in at little as ten to twelve feet of water to the mighty warsaw grouper in several hundred feet of water, all grouper tend to like the same types of baits and presentations whether they are presented on the bottom or by trolling.

Fiddling for Bait - Fiddler Crabs
21 Aug 2010 at 1:07am
Sometimes the best-laid plans don't work out as well as I would like. As well as I would like? Heck, sometimes they fall apart right before my very eyes! John was tired of paying those high prices for bait, and so was I. They weren't really that high, but we didn't have the money at the time to afford what we needed. Between fishing and family, money was thin and we tried to scrimp and save.

Shrimping Season
16 Aug 2010 at 1:19am
Dog days mean hot, sultry afternoons that more often than not end up with rain. They also mean that shrimp are on the run, and recreational shrimping can help cool off those hot days.
Up and down the Atlantic coast, shrimp make a summer migration into the inlets and rivers to perform their spawning activities. Searching for brackish water indicative of an estuary, they migrate with the moon phases sometimes fifty miles upstream in the larger rivers...
Weather or Not - Here We Fish Again
13 Aug 2010 at 1:35am
Listen to this true fish story. We were in Florida Bay on a hot June afternoon. We were drifting the flats south of Carl Ross Key in about 5 feet of water, catching a few trout and an occasional snapper. The wind was so still, that a good drift was almost impossible. Photo © Ron Brooks
Weather or Not - Here We Fish
11 Aug 2010 at 1:22am
I know the weather report said fifteen to twenty knots and seas five to eight feet, but that was for Okracoke. We're fishing way north of there out of Hatteras; it will probably be fishable. Ever heard any famous last words like that before?
