Crankbaits are a great weapon in the fall; you can cover water, and it can be a target bait.

October back to ‘normal’

David Fritts

A lot has sure changed in a couple of months. From getting no rain, the lakes being low and figuring that we’d have shallow bass the rest of the year, we’re back to having plenty of rain and looking at a normal October and fall pattern. […]

A popping bait like a Rapala X-Pop or a walking bait is a staple for lakes with herring.

Time to ‘top off’ a bass

Fly fishing can be one of the most relaxing – and rewarding – hobbies if you know where to fish. The feel of a big trout on the end of your fly rod makes the blood pump faster and gets the adrenaline flowing. […]

Flounder are aggessive enough to hit live bait and artificials through October.

Marching Orders

There are no caissons, no buglers or regimental flags. No cities have been ransacked along the way, no crops put to the torch. Still, there’s a march to the sea every autumn along South Carolina’s coastline that’s more predictable than Gen. Sherman’s little walkabout almost 150 years ago. […]

The fall spot run will draw fishermen from across North Carolina to ocean piers.

Right on the Spot!

Mike Marsh

A crisp wind out of the northeast forced dozens of anglers standing along the wooden rails to cinch down the hoods of their jackets, raincoats and sweatshirts. […]

Several unusually high tides this month will give fishermen in the Georgetown area the opportunity to stalk redfish hunting for crabs on tidal flats that are normally high and dry.
