Hunting the rut is all about timing. Tactics change as the rut progresses; hunting scrapes is different from hunting during times when bucks are chasing does and success involves the proper set-up.[…]
The Custom Ballistic Turret system from SWAROVSKI OPTIK allows hunters to make long range shots with greater accuracy and confidence.[…]
Though the odds are already in his favor being so low to the water, Johnny LaFleur goes to great lengths to ensure complete concealment of the boats.[…]
September can pose some real challenges for trout fishermen. First, we have weather to contend with and, while that is true in any month, September is the peak of our tropical season — which brings winds and seas to a whole different level.[…]
Although layout boats aren’t exactly suited for hauling huge quantities of decoys, Johnny LaFleur said he’s usually got room for at least a dozen or two within each boat.[…]
The trick to September success is to narrow the search for areas where trout will congregate, ignoring the rest of the vast stretches of water in the area, Capt. Sean Cady said.[…]
With your safe shooting zone somewhat limited when using these small boats, setting up properly with given wind conditions becomes paramount.[…]
Jonathan Ryan is an avid speckled-trout angler.
The perfect day for him is finding some new honey hole in what’s left of the Delacroix marsh, and throwing double-rigged Hybrids to specks that are on Jenny Craig’s new plastic-only diet.[…]

My Lucky Craft Sammy topwater landed less than its length from the base of a cypress tree. I mindlessly snapped it back and forth a couple times to impart that lazy walk-the-dog action that big bass just can’t seem to ignore.
At 7:30 in the morning, my shirt was already soaked with sweat, so I diverted my attention away from my Sammy sitting lifelessly on the surface in an effort to see if there was any shade we could get under.
