Moving Locations to Find Sheepshead
17 Nov 2009 at 10:35pm
On an early season sheepshead trip, I had to move a lot to get a limit of fish. Most anglers sat in one spot and wondered why they could not get a bite. Moving makes a difference on a slow bite day.

Gulf Grouper
16 Nov 2009 at 11:27am
Fall means a change of weather with cooling temperatures, and cooling water temperatures mean fish. While lots of anglers opt for football, the savvy Gulf of Mexico anglers are sharpening their hooks and getting ready to jerk some grouper off the bottom... Read more...

Save a Fish to Catch a Fish
11 Nov 2009 at 12:21am
Fish conservation and saving the resources is at once both emotional and radical in some circles. Marine Protection Areas - No Fish Zones - are popping up along the coast line in many areas. Are they right? Is the science behind them flawed?
Here is my original take on at least a part of the issue. A follow-up from a Biologist comes up next.

Flounder Fishing Fool!
9 Nov 2009 at 12:03am
Fall has been late coming and as such, the migration of big, doormat flounder has been delayed - actually I believe it has just slowed and been extended. We have been catching big flounder in the inlets for two months now... Read more...

A Big Bull for John
7 Nov 2009 at 12:49am
We ran probably 10 miles off the reef, past the southbound shipping lanes and toward the middle of the Gulfstream. Southbound ship traffic always runs just inside the stream to avoid it's six-knot northerly current. Northbound traffic rides the middle to take every advantage of the extra push. We found a small weed line of Sargasso and put out our baits... Read more...

The bite is on up and down the eastern seaboard and boats are limiting on a variety of fish - that is if they are able to get out. This fall has been a particularly windy one, and relatively calm days are few and far between. Read more...

Catching Rockfish in the Albemarle Sound
31 Oct 2009 at 5:28am
While the fish we caught were relatively small, we had a blast catching over twenty rocks in less than thirty minutes. Once we located a school while trolling plugs, we stopped and jigged the pilings . Had double hook-ups numerous times. Actually left them biting at dark!

Catching Bluefin Tuna in the Northeast US is Exciting and Rewarding
28 Oct 2009 at 8:29am
Although fall means that bluefin tuna season is almost over in the northeast, some big catches can still be made by those who watch the weather and make the 20 to 30 mile trip offshore in search of BFTs. Fishing offshore in the northeast US usually means being a part of a fleet of anglers, all looking for the same thing - a big tuna...Catching Bluefin Tuna in the Northeast US is Exciting and Rewarding originally appeared on About.com Saltwater Fishing on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at 12:29:27.

Take Advantage of Bad Weather
26 Oct 2009 at 1:34am
Sometimes the weather and wind is just too much for us to handle. We sit home wishing we were fishing. There are some things we can do when the weather kicks up and prevents us from getting out on the water. I wonder how many of you think about these things on bad fishing days

15 Nov 2009 at 12:18am
Did you know there are eight different species of black bass in the United States? All are related and can breed with each other, but they usually live in slightly different habitats and can be identified by biologists even if fishermen have a hard time. You have heard of largemouth and smallmouth - but how about Suwannee and Bartram's bass?

Can't Believe He Ate The Whole Thing
14 Nov 2009 at 5:32am
Sometimes it seems bass won't hit anything you throw at them but at times they can be real pigs. This bass must have had a special love of plastic baits. It was full of them when it was cut open to be mounted. Be sure to check out the picture.

Jig and Pig Fishing
13 Nov 2009 at 5:21am
A jig and pig is one of the best big-bass baits around. It seems to get even better in cold water. Learn to rig one and fish it this year and see how it performs. I had to make myself fish one until I got used to it and caught some fish, now I always a rod and reel with one rigged and ready on the deck of my boat.
