Springtime Pogie Fishing on the Beaches
Several things come clear in the early spring. The main thing for me is the water. I’m not sure what makes the water stay so clear, but it seems that we have more days of fishing clear water in the spring than nay other time. It's time for cobia and big red drum or redfish.

Fishing Close to Home
With the economy in the tank and everyone trying to figure a way to save some cash, I thought I would give something a try. What if I just fished within several hundred yards of the boat ramp? What if I didn’t make a long run – or any run for that matter – to get to some fish? I tried that recently and found out that you can catch fish close to home!

Fishing the Backwater - Saltwater Marshes
Saltwater marshes are a part of the estuary system, the nursery if you will, for a variety of fish. They are comprised of a number of winding creeks, sloughs, and flats that change dramatically with the incoming and outgoing tide.

Economical Fishing
The world economy has all of us under the gun so to speak. In one way or another all of us fishermen – anglers – are affected. This is especially true if you fish from a boat powered by gasoline or diesel fuel. So what’s a guy (gal) to do? You know, fishing has a soothing effect on me – calms my frayed nerves and lets me get my mind off of the crumbling economy. But, can I even afford to fish any more? I believe we can.

The High Cost of Fishing
As I look around my area these days, it seems more and more boats are showing up with “For Sale” signs on them. Most of these boats are big-engine gas guzzlers that people are trying to offload because of the rising fuel prices in the US. Many of them have twin engines, which drink even more fuel.

Imagine Night Fishing
Imagine what it would be like fishing out here for snapper at night! I had heard that phrase so many times from my father over the years that I became convinced that night fishing was far superior to daytime fishing. It was with those images of monster mangrove snapper that my wife and I made the decision to fish that night.

Deep Jigging
Somewhere along the way one of the most versatile fishing lures ever devised received the name "jig". Probably either because the molds they are made from or the mechanism used to hold them while they are being tied, are called jigs. Either way the term has come to mean a particular style of fishing with a particular type of lure - fishing with a jig.

Night Reef Fishing Tactics Saltwater Fishing
Night fishing can be very easy and a lot of fun, or it can be a perfectly miserable experience. The difference comes in how you prepare for the trip. I have fished more times at night than I can count, and I learned quite a few tricks to make it easy and successful.

The Saltwater Fly Explosion
But now, for some very obvious reasons, I have it bad. "It" is the fly fishing bug, and it is hitting everyone up and down the east coast of the United States. "It" caused me to spend several hundred dollars on a new rod and reel just this week. I e-mailed Sam to tie me a few clousers and deceivers, and I could hear the chuckle coming right through his reply!

Always Fishing with Friends
I have fished with friends all my life. Lots of those friends are family members, but they also are friends. My wife and grown children are the best friends I have – and they are the ones I with whom I have the greatest joy fishing.
