On a fairly calm day in mid-May, Sportsman TV host Greg Hackney, Bowie Outfitters’ David Reynerson and Capt. Trey Pique of VooDoo Sportfishing Charters in Venice landed four tuna averaging 80 pounds each.[…]
If you’re one of the many thousands of anglers who each year catches a trophy bass at Toledo Bend, you have a few options.[…]
When Capt. Allen Moreau set the hook Tuesday, he knew he had a good fish. It turned out to be a 7-pound speckled trout.[…]
Now, tossing a hard bait with two exposed trebles into the middle of a topped-out hydrilla bed is little more than an exercise in futility.[…]
The word “bream” (pronounced “brim”) is a Southernism. Our northern friends call them by their proper species name, or they lump them all together as sunfish — which sounds altogether too sissy-like. In the South, we talk about bull bream.[…]
This bream, officially known as the redear sunfish, is named for the red-margined flap extending rearward from its gill cover.[…]
Hackney’s approach for warm-season grass jigging is all about forcing the issue: He’ll flip the ¾-ounce version of his signature Strike King Hack Attack jig with either a Rage Craw or Twin Tail Menace Grub trailer, targeting those edges, points and gaps where fish will be looking for easy meals that don’t require much effort.[…]
This feisty species is definitely the backbone of the bream fishery. It gets big — for a bream —at 10 inches, and during its summer-long spawning season forms dense beds of nests.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
I recently wrote to you about the data card on my Garmin 182c not reading, and you posted the article in the April Louisiana Sportsman magazine. I am writing today to give you the results.[…]
Similar to the jig approach, but tailored for reaching deeper into the slop, punching enables anglers to scare up some mean grass action.[…]
Speckled trout action should be gangbusters this month after a colder than normal spring. There was plenty of clear water in April and that favors topwater action.[…]
At the Bassmaster Classic in Tulsa, Okla., the Fan Expo saw TWA Sports introduce an interesting new product with strong potential to benefit anglers fishing grassy areas.[…]
Although Lyle Soileau definitely uses a standard anchor, he also has another tool to help hold his pontoon boat in place.[…]
Capt. Chad Billiot is a member of the United Houma Nation, a Native American tribe that counts more than 10,000 Americans among its members, according to the most-recent census.[…]
Bream will stack up where tangles of cover is scattered along the lake bottom, and that means anchoring often results in anchor hang-ups.

Toledo Bend is vast, so there are myriad areas in which to look for bream beds.[…]
