This time of year, bass fishing can be great across the Carolinas. But it can be frustrating too, depending on many factors. Most largemouth bass have completed spawning, but some late spawners are still out there. […]
It’s that time of year when just getting on the water and making a few casts can make an angler feel like Midas turning everything to gold. Inshore anglers have been feeling that for the past week or so up and down the coasts of both Carolinas. If you’re not fishing right now, then you’re missing out. […]
Regular readers of this column know there is always one turkey recipe each spring to go with the turkey season. Only once before have I added a second turkey recipe, but I’m going to do it again. It’s a turkey pie, cooked in a cast-iron pan, that can be cooked in the oven or taken outside to the grill in the warming May weather.

Tactics for tagging a gobbler in the waning days of the season is often dramatically different than strategies for early season success. Late-season hunting typically requires a diverse skill set that includes patience, stealth, diversity in calling capabilities and mental toughness to commit to strategy. […]
One of the signs that spring has returned to the Carolinas is the arrival of Spanish mackerel in coastal waters. These little mackerel are targeted by fishermen from Hilton Head to Nags Head, and rightfully so. […]
The latest edition to the Weatherby line is the Mark V CarbonMark, a bolt-action rifle with the company’s 9-lug magnum action attached to a carbon-fiber barrel from Proof Research. […]
Flounder are arguably the most-recognizable inshore fish on the east coast. For die-hard anglers, they can be targeted every month of the year in the waters of both Carolinas, from brackish ecosystems to nearshore ocean reefs. […]
