Rollins: Awesome day fishing for lakers

Comments Off on Rollins: Awesome day fishing for lakers

When it comes to ice fishing my buddies and I agree that there’s nothing more exciting than catching a lake trout on a tip-up. We all make several trips to the big lakes each winter trying to hook into some lakers and although some trips end without a single bite, occasionally we really get into them and everyone gets in on the action.

What Are Fish Bait Attractants And Why Would I Want To Use Them?

Comments Off on What Are Fish Bait Attractants And Why Would I Want To Use Them?

I use fish bait attractants on many of my baits and think they help me get more bites and make the fish hold on to the bait a little longer. That can be important in bass fishing with soft plastics, giving you a little more time to set the hook.

Black Sea Bass Season Closes in the South Atlantic

Comments Off on Black Sea Bass Season Closes in the South Atlantic

If you fished offshore from North Carolina to the Florida Keys this past week and caught any black sea bass, you were fortunate.  But don’t plan on doing it again.  The South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council (SAFMC) has done it again – this time closing, effective February 12, the black sea bass season until June 1 of this year.  This applies to Federal waters from 3 to 200 miles offshore.
Here is the situation in my back yard:  Closed to all harvest right now are spotted seatrout, all grouper varieties, vermilion snapper, snook, and red snapper.  A trip offshore means burning a lot of fuel and literally no fish to bring home to the table.
Following close on the heels of all this are the pending changes from the SAFMC in the bag limits and seasons for dolphin (mahi mahi), wahoo, and cobia.
