Successful anglers most often possess a quality of self confidence in their abilities to locate, tempt, and catch bass. As with all things in life, the more one knows about what they are doing, the more adept they become at that situation. The old saying...

Many anglers have fished for years, not understanding the physical and mental make-up of a bass’s system. To increase productivity in anything, one must first do some homework on what makes anything “tick”. And, that includes the bass. A bass’s...

Of all different aspects of tournament fishing, without a doubt the least understood by the average angler is the matter of prefishing. Even the word “prefishing” itself is awfully ambiguous. Just mention that word to someone who knows nothing about bass...

For the past two years I’ve been hearing about all the big fish being caught at Falcon. Not that any fisherman has every been known to misstate a fact but the tales of so many 20 pound plus 5 fish catches were a bit hard for me to believe at first. These stories...

The fish are on the move; however, the lake dropped over a foot in a one week period and on Friday, they received over 9″ of rain which had the bass pulled back out of the buck brush and they were relating more to mainlake points, secondary points and inside and...

For the past month, Big Sam has been as temperamental as most all our East Texas lakes have been, especially in giving up numbers of bass. The high winds, rain and weekend cold fronts have kept the bass hanging out, and as of yet, they have not moved onto the beds to...

The holiday season is a good time for reflection. A time to be grateful for all that we have. A time to give just for the good feeling we get from giving. One of the most important things that we all can be thankful for, after good health and good fortune for...

Some 40 odd years ago a grey haired man stood on a bridge with a young boy looking at a bobber floating below in the Arkansas River in Wichita, Kansas. As the old man leaned over the railing to look at some ducks that were swimming by under the bridge something fell...

GALVESTON — During December, waders should look to the backs of coves along West Bay’s south shoreline for excellent trophy trout action. Best baits for this shallow water fishing are topwater plugs such as Arbogast’s Phred’s Phydeaux, Rebel...

SABINE — The lake and the jetties will be the places where anglers fill their need to catch fish in November. Flounder and redfish should be laying along the jetty rocks in the deeper water to escape the cooler winter temperatures. Live bait is of course your...

GALVESTON — East Galveston Bay is producing increasing numbers of keeper sized speckled trout for anglers working the mid-bay reefs with pearl/chartreuse or strawberry/white B&L shad tails. Shorelines are also beginning to show signs of increasing action as...

May begins the summer season’s biggest saltwater fishing tournament, the G.C.C.A. State of Texas Anglers Rodeo, and knowing the ins and outs of trout fishing could increase your chances of winning anything from a fully rigged boat to a hand full of popping rods....

January can be a great month for catching trophy speckled trout in some areas or tackle busting black drum in others. No matter which part of the coast you plan to fish remember that winter is a time to take precautions. Dress warmly, in layers, and don’t forget...

GALVESTON — The mid-bay reefs, of East Galveston Bay, are producing fair to good numbers of speckled trout in the 27 inch range. Most of these fish are being caught, on B&L Sea Slugs in both pearl/chartreuse and strawberry/white, while drifting reefs and...

SABINE — Look for flocks of feeding birds to guide you to fall trout and redfish. The cooling waters will bring fish out of the deep water and throwing broken-back lures should result in excellent topwater action. Other baits that work well in this area under...

GALVESTON — This could be one of the best years for tarpon, king fish, and many other offshore species most of us have ever seen. The high salinity levels are drawing these fish, in incredible numbers, closer to shore. In fact ddon’t be surprised if you...

GALVESTON — Fishing here should be just about right for some terrific drift and wade fishing according to Capt. Pat Murray. “The south shoreline of East Bay has everything trophy speckled trout need to thrive. They’re close to several reefs and the...
