Great White Sharks

Great White Sharks Head to Florida

Just like northern residents who trek south to vacation in the warmth, great white sharks are moving into Florida’s balmy waters this winter. It happens every year, with heavyweight sharks acting the part of snow birds, visiting from out of town.

Texas Bass

Texas is Tops for Big Bass

Texas anglers regularly catch double-digit largemouth bass. Part of that is because of the state’s Toyota ShareLunker Program. As part of the program, recreational anglers can donate their heavyweight bass to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for stocking efforts.

Bluefin Tuna

UK Gets Serious About Bluefins

Lucky anglers experienced a resurgent bluefin tuna fishery in United Kingdom waters as part of a scientific Catch and Release Tagging program the last two years. Now, Mark Spencer, UK’s fisheries minister, is considering a licensed recreational fishery for bluefins.

Push Pole

Picking a Push Pole

Poling platforms and push poles are not expressly designed for jousting with annoying PWCs. On the contrary, this combo on flats boats and technical poling skiffs opens up stretches of super-skinny water that’s inaccessible to boats equipped only with trolling motors.

Flounder Jigs

Gulf Coast Wintertime Flounder

Having just returned from a crappie-fishing expedition, I still had a medium-light spinning rod rigged with fluorocarbon line and a 2-inch curl-tail grub. A curly tail is my favorite flounder lure but this one was half the size of my normal presentation. Well, elephants eat peanuts.
