Fishing in the heat requires adaptability on the part of the angler. Fish will still bite no matter how hot the sun is, but angles have to be willing to put in the work. For those who do, it’s definitely worth it. […]
Many years ago, anglers had to be careful about putting soft-plastic lures directly into their tackle box trays. It didn’t take long for the lures and trays to melt and create a big, gooey mess. It was tackle-box companies that fixed the problem, developing “worm-proof” trays that prevented melting, a big relief to anglers. […]
August is the hottest month in the Carolinas, but sportsmen still have plenty to do. Many plan their days around lower temperatures and humidity early and late, plus the regular appearance of a couple of cooler days around mid-month. It could be fishing, shooting guns or bows, scouting for deer and doves, and in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, climbing into a deer stand to fill a tag. […]
With deer season creeping up, it’s time for food plotters to scratch out a plan and make any last-minute changes before the seeds go in the dirt. […]
August is a tough month for bass fishermen; there’s no doubt about that. But it doesn’t have to be impossible, if you understand how to make current work in your favor. […]
Lonnie Stanley does more than talk a good bass fishing game; he makes solid baits, too. […]
“Multifunction display” grows in meaning with each new generation of marine electronics. Sonar functions now include traditional down-looking 2-D scanning with and without CHIRP, high-definition side and down scanning, live forward scanning, 360-degree circular scanning and a choice of frequencies to optimize each type for either maximum detail or greatest scanning depth/distance. […]
Many components make up modern compound bows, and the string system is one of the most important. The string and cables on today’s bows are the equivalent of a vehicle’s power train, providing power and timing. […]
Summer is the season of bugs, all kinds of bugs, the ones that crawl, fly or hop: beetles, inchworms, grasshoppers, crickets, bees, ants, caterpillars, crane flies, fireflies. No matter what kind of insect it is, you can find a fly that imitates it closely enough to make a trout believe it’s the real thing. […]
Patterns for summer fishing on Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie will vary according to the part of which lake you fish and the species you target. In the main body of both, deep-water areas with plenty of woody cover will produce consistent action for crappie, and to some extent, big bream. A lot of catfish will be in the deeper depths, but they’ll primary be following food more than looking for cover. […]
